Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Service overview
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 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.
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.
Kerrie property context
For Kerrie 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. Kerrie sits near Cherokee, Romsey, Hesket and Rochford. 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.
Planning 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.
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use.

Review minor compatible fastening and adjustment work without reconstructing load-bearing furniture or undertaking specialist restoration. Arrange the required owner or manager permission and identify the access contact.

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.
Upholstery, antiques/conservation, powered mechanisms, load-bearing reconstruction, cabinet hinges, drawers, assembly of new items. Describe any additional requirement separately.
