We offer a professional installation service which incorporates a value-added aesthetic understanding and ensures that your artworks are hung securely, accurately and in relation to the decor that surrounds them. We hang paintings, mirrors, tapestries, ceramics, objets d’art and three dimensional artworks of all kinds. We also install and replace fittings, install security hangers as required and even make up customised hangings for specific installations. 

We are here to do the “difficult stuff” – like installing suspended art and dealing with the large artworks. We are equipped to deal with all types of walling materials and finishes such as rough brick, drywall, tiles, glass, padded fabric and acoustic material. We have usually done it before and, if we haven’t, we enjoy a challenge.
