Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Service overview
A small screw or bolt can work loose without the surrounding furniture being damaged. Show the complete connection and any missing hardware. Tightening is appropriate only when the fastener and the material accepting it remain sound and compatible.
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.
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.
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.
Braybrook property context

Planning the work
Review minor compatible fastening and adjustment work without reconstructing load-bearing furniture or undertaking specialist restoration. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.

FAQ
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.
