Mastering your walls

We’re a London-based team of 14 gallery-trained installers and curators, rated five stars on Google and featured on BBC DIY SOS. From a single canvas in a Hamilton Terrace villa to a 30-piece install across an Avenue Road mansion block, we bring the same meticulous approach to every job.

Picture hanging St John's Wood

Working in St John's Wood's villas and mansion blocks

St John’s Wood is unusual in central London because of its detached and semi-detached villa stock. Hamilton Terrace, Avenue Road, Wellington Road, Marlborough Place and Carlton Hill have some of the largest detached period homes in inner London, often with very high ceilings, ornate plaster mouldings and tall sash windows that need careful eye-line decisions. Mansion blocks through the south of NW8 toward Lord’s and the Regent’s Park border tend to be Edwardian red brick with solid masonry behind the plaster skim, which holds fixings well once you’re past the soft outer layer. Modern apartment buildings along Avenue Road are mostly metal-stud plasterboard, which needs Gripit or Toggler fixings rated to the weight for anything above 5kg. We arrive with the right kit for all three substrates, and we’ll always confirm the wall type before any drilling starts.

Would highly recommend Conor from Hang it Services. He did a great job with about 50 pictures and a heavy mirror in my house. He took time to advise me which pictures could stay where they are, which could be rehung or regrouped and the best place for them to go. He then worked quickly and professionally to get everything up by the end of the day. I am very happy with the result!

Extremely happy with the service I received from Hang It Services. Callum put up a large very heavy mirror and several pictures for us. He advised on placement knowledgeably and was meticulous with measurements to ensure that the items were hung where we agreed and perfectly straight. He was professional and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.

I had Rowan to hang about 30 pictures both large and small after a redecoration and he’s done a fantastic job and also gave invaluable advice on placement. Some are hung lower than I would have put them or grouped slightly differently but this is where it pays to use an expert rather than getting in a handyman as they look so very good.

James visited for the second time to hang some more pictures. From initial enquiry to carrying out the task is quick. He takes time to explain the options of hanging and also what will look best. He works efficiently and tidily. I would have no hesitation in recommending James for any hanging requirements that you may have.

Absolutely loved the experience of having ‘Hang It’ sort all my pictures out. James was brilliant and has such a good eye for what works where . I can’t recommend them enough, from the super friendly and efficient David in the office, to meeting and spending the day with James. Moving house can be so stressful but using such a brilliant company to hang your pictures is definitely a wonderful treat. Thanks guys , Gaynor
