Art Hanging Services In London?, by Mister Frame Man on Feb 14, 2017 6:20:01 GMT 1, Happy Tuesday everyone..........
I often have folk ask if we have a hanging service as well as framing and delivery, unfortunately that isn't something my Mother and Father are keen to get into now they are into their seventies!
Can anyone recommend an art hanging service that you may have used in the past? Thinking I can then approach them and request a discounted rate for my clients should they have a need.
I guess you should also let us know if you have had a bad experience with a hanging service, just so we know who to avoid!
Look forward to hearing your recommendations..........
Thanks.

Do we mean, like, a man or woman to drill holes in a wall and ensure the art is placed centrally with other pieces? Or something more complex?

Gary Do we mean, like, a man or woman to drill holes in a wall and ensure the art is placed centrally with other pieces? Or something more complex? HB Pretty much, just with large pieces in particular I know a lot of people are nervous and want reassurance that the correct fixings are used etc.........We obviously put the correct fixings on the frame but not always obvious what to use for the wall. |

I'd imagine different hanging mechanisms also, above and beyond the 'old nail or screw', depending on wall types...

Art Hanging Services In London?, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 14, 2017 11:09:08 GMT 1, Wouldn't there be a good idea to also have an advisory service how to hang the art in the most aesthetically appealing way, perhaps even to suggest additional pieces to lift a room? Cause thats the point in which I see many fail, hanging low in strange patterns 
Perhaps its hard to sell as a service thou and might be two totally different persons, hanging is more of a careful carpenter service.
Ok, not sure I add anything to this discussion ill just post and you can ignore this

Based in Brighton (I think) but also work in London. No idea of cost I'm afraid.

Do people really pay people to hang their prints? If they're doing it so that the onus and responsibility is on the third party. Are these hanging companies insured?
If for some reason the picture fell down, is the hanger liable for damages. Or do they get the customer to sign a waver?

Yes thats all well & good if all your pieces have the same hanging cord that gives the exact same amount of slack which none of mine seemingly do!

Haha!!
Thanks Aza, I have my own 'art hanging service' in a rusty nail and an old shoe!
A great forum member has been brilliant in coming round and re-hanging my pieces, all for the price of a pizza!
I better not reveal his name as he will get so many requests 
He already knows about the huge, heavy piece I have incoming as I am trying to sweet talk him in to coming round to hang it... once i have paid for it!

From memory Wenters had someone he had used previously but I can't remember the detail, so maybe drop him a PM

It's still very helpful. You just leave it in place while you hang your art and line it up to the top of the frames. I've done it a couple times with good results.
