Newly built and recently renovated homes offer a blank canvas — but also unique challenges when it comes to hanging artwork. Fresh plaster, unfamiliar wall types, underfloor heating, and high-end finishes all require careful consideration.
At Art Install London, we provide professional picture hanging services specifically tailored to new builds and refurbished properties across London. Whether you’re a homeowner, interior designer, or developer handing over a turnkey property, our service ensures every artwork is safely and beautifully installed.
Why Picture Hanging in New Builds Requires a Specialist
Many new properties include a mix of modern materials, smart technology, and minimalistic interiors — making standard DIY hanging methods risky. Here’s why you need a professional approach:
1. Fresh or Untreated Walls
New plaster and paint require curing time. Hanging too soon can damage both wall and paintwork. We assess surfaces and use non-invasive methods where needed.
2. Underfloor Heating and Hidden Services
Drilling without checking for hidden pipework or wiring can cause serious damage. We use professional detection tools to assess risk before installation.
3. Unusual Wall Materials
Engineered walls, metal studs, and feature panels need specialist fixings — especially when hanging mirrors, sculptures, or large artworks.
4. High Ceilings and Stairwells
New builds often feature double-height walls, atriums, and open staircases. We provide safe, ladder-based or scaffolded installation for high or hard-to-reach spaces.
