Who it is for
It is for pieces with no hanging wire, odd thicknesses, or a face that must stand off the wall. It is not metal fabrication of a large engineering bracket.
Custom Wall Mounting Solutions
Custom wall mounting is for objects that are not a standard frame, such as panels, textile bars, and shallow sculptures. It is quoted across the UK once we know the object. Send measurements, the wall, and the postcode on the quote form, or WhatsApp the same details.

How the work varies
Cleats and battens
A hidden or visible batten when the object can screw or hook to it.
Stand-offs
A small gap off the wall for panels that need air or a shadow line.
Textile bars
A bar or Velcro system only when the textile edge is made to take it.
Included, and what we do not do
- A mount chosen for that object
- A wall check before drilling
- The piece fitted and tested
- Spare ordinary fixings left only if they belong to that mount
- We do not weld structural steel.
- We do not mount a piece that needs a conservation stitch.
- We do not invent a bracket for an object we have not seen or been sent measurements for.
The visit
- See the object or its measurements
- Specify the mount
- Fit the wall side
- Offer the object and lock it
How the quote is built
Custom mounts are quoted after we know the object. The price moves with hardware that has to be bought for that piece, not with a flat “special” fee.
- Whether a cleat can be screwed to the object
- Stand-off depth
- Wall type
- Lead time on hardware
When people book, and how to prepare
People book when a panel arrived with no fixings, a textile sagged off a nail, or a shallow relief cannot sit flush.
Send width, height, depth, and weight. Photograph the back of the object.
Do not remove a stand-off and reuse the hole for a screw of a different gauge. Ask if the piece comes down for painting.
Questions on this service
Can you match an architect’s detail?
If you send the drawing and the wall build-up, we quote to that detail or we say it is outside this service.
Do you work on textiles?
Only when the hanging system is already on the textile or can be fixed without stitching. We do not conserve fabric.
What do you need before making a mount?
Width, height, depth, weight, and a photograph of the back. Without those we do not invent a bracket.
Can any object be mounted on a wall?
No. We do not weld structural steel, stitch textiles, or mount a piece the wall cannot hold. The quote says when the job is outside this service.
