Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.

Confirm the Fingal address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
