Hanging a picture or mirror seems simple, but once you factor in wall types, correct fixings, weight of the item, and getting it perfectly level, it can quickly turn into a tricky job. That’s why many homeowners in Blackburn hire a handyman to take care of it.
So how much should you expect to pay for professional picture or mirror hanging in Blackburn?
Average Picture Hanging Prices in Blackburn
Here’s a quick breakdown of typical costs:
- Small jobs (1–3 items): £60–£80
- Medium jobs (4–6 items): £90–£120
- Gallery walls or multiple items: from £100 (depending on layout & wall prep)
- Heavy mirrors or large artwork: £80–£120+ (may require specialist fixings)
💡 My handyman prices in Blackburn include the minimum call out fee. If you have several items to hang, it’s usually more cost-effective to get them all done in one visit.
What Affects the Cost?
Several factors can influence the final price:
- Wall type – Plasterboard walls may need special fixings; brick walls can take longer to drill.
- Item size & weight – Heavier mirrors and art require stronger brackets.
- Number of items – More items = more measuring, alignment, and time.
- Accessibility – Hard-to-reach walls or staircases may add to the cost.
Why Hire a Handyman Instead of DIY?
While you can try hanging pictures yourself, many homeowners run into problems:
- Crooked or uneven results.
- Damage to plasterboard or walls.
- Using the wrong fixings (which can be unsafe for heavy mirrors).
A professional handyman ensures your items are:
✔️ Securely fitted
✔️ Perfectly level
✔️ Safe for your walls and family
