Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Burnside property context
For Burnside enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested minor furniture repair. Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. Burnside sits near Burnside Heights, Albanvale, Kings Park and Deer Park. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
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 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.
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.
Planning the work
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Follow any rest or curing guidance and reassess recurring movement. Do not test an uncertain repair by loading the furniture beyond its intended use. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.

Service overview
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.
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.
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.
FAQ
