minor furniture repair can be appropriate when a supplied item, trim or fitting is loose, incomplete, damaged or needs adjustment. Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use.
Signs: a practical repair or compatible installation needs a clear product and access review or a supplied item, trim or fitting is loose, incomplete, damaged or needs adjustment. Causes: an incomplete assembly or a mismatched replacement component or local damage that does not establish a structural requirement.
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.
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.
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.
