Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Burwood property context
Planning minor furniture repair in Burwood 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. A room-by-room list is easier to assess than separate messages. For every task, state what is wrong or what the completed installation should achieve, then match it to labelled photos.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Show the complete item, its material and the loose fixing or joint, with any product label or previous repair visible. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
