Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
Existing drawers and cupboard hinges have their own repair scopes, while new boxed items belong under assembly. Describe each requested task separately. Grouping an enquiry can help planning without turning this minor adjustment service into an unlimited furniture restoration offer.
Braeside property context
Planning minor furniture repair in Braeside starts with the actual item and its setting. Show the complete item, its material and the loose fixing or joint, with any product label or previous repair visible. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. Photograph gates, fence items and external fittings from a distance and close up. Include posts, brackets, adjacent sections and movement that may affect repair options.
