Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Common situations
A rocking item may involve the floor, adjustable feet or the item itself. Show the setting and describe whether the movement is new. Load-bearing reconstruction is excluded, and a furniture item with unresolved structural damage should not be returned to use.
Movement at a joint may indicate more than a loose screw. Split material, pulled inserts or failed load-bearing connections can require specialist work or replacement. Stop using an unstable item and explain what moves rather than trying repeated temporary fixes.
Solid timber, veneers, composite panels and metal frames have different fastening arrangements. A product label and close photo can help identify them. A repair should suit the actual construction; a generic fixing should not be assumed to work in every material.
Service overview
Tell Fix Nik about glue, extra screws or brackets already added. Earlier work can conceal damage or affect access to the original fitting. Knowing what has changed helps decide whether another minor adjustment is practical or would merely repeat a failed approach.
Keep loose hardware and send any part numbers before purchasing substitutes. Thread size, length and the connection design matter. The service can review compatible small-part work but does not promise bespoke manufacture or parts for discontinued furniture systems.
Antiques, upholstery and conservation work need different skills and methods. Powered reclining or lifting mechanisms are also outside this scope. Identify these features at the enquiry stage so a general handyman adjustment is not mistaken for specialist restoration.
The agreed service covers assessed minor mechanical fixings and non-specialist household furniture adjustments. Exclusions: Upholstery, antiques/conservation, powered mechanisms, load-bearing reconstruction, cabinet hinges, drawers, assembly of new items.
How it works
Show the complete item, its material and the loose fixing or joint, with any product label or previous repair visible.
Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use.
Review minor compatible fastening and adjustment work without reconstructing load-bearing furniture or undertaking specialist restoration.
Confirm the Ascot Vale address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Follow any rest or curing guidance and reassess recurring movement. Do not test an uncertain repair by loading the furniture beyond its intended use.
Ascot Vale property context
An occupied Ascot Vale property may need preparation before minor furniture repair can begin. Show the complete item, its material and the loose fixing or joint, with any product label or previous repair visible. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. For a Ascot Vale quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Planning the work
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.

FAQ
Show the complete item, its material and the loose fixing or joint, with any product label or previous repair visible. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
Review minor compatible fastening and adjustment work without reconstructing load-bearing furniture or undertaking specialist restoration. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
Follow any rest or curing guidance and reassess recurring movement. Do not test an uncertain repair by loading the furniture beyond its intended use. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
