Who to hire to put pictures high up on staircase wall?

I have inherited some paintings that I want to put up going up the stairs. We’ve tried with our ladder to get up there but the way our staircase turns makes it precarious and DH and I are too scared!

who do I hire to come in to do this?

I basically just need someone with a decent ladder/platform who isn’t scared of heights- all I can think is a decorator but not sure if drilling up a picture rail and positioning frames is in their remit?!!

Not a plumber.

joking aside just a local handyman/maintenance/odd job man

I've just had some artwork moved around and a new piece hung. I googled art hanging and my area and a couple of local companies popped up. I got a couple of prices and went with the one that specifically hangs art as opposed to one that hangs photos/frames in general as they'd be insured to cover the cost of any damage (mine are expensive artworks). You should be able to find someone who is local or covers your area.

thanks!! I didn’t realise this was a thing- make sense to have people who do this properly!! and yes would be good to have the insurance incase of damage, some are very old paintings!!
