Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
Common situations
Show the frame, backing and attached hanging hardware as well as the glass. A damaged frame or unsuitable rear fitting may prevent secure hanging. Glass cutting, frameless glazing installation and repairs to specialist mirror systems are outside this service.
The chosen position should allow for doors, furniture and normal room use. Agree the layout before drilling. A wall photograph with approximate dimensions can help identify conflicts without relying on a generic hanging height that may not suit the space.
A previous fixing position may be convenient but still unsuitable for the new item or its hanging system. Show any damaged wall finish around it. Filling old holes and repainting are separate tasks that should be specified in the enquiry.
Service overview
Masonry, plasterboard and other surfaces need different fixing assessments. Share what is known about the wall and nearby services. Existing holes do not establish suitable support for a heavier object, and unknown construction can require further review before installation.
A mirror can be heavier than its appearance suggests. Provide weight information and a photograph of its rear hanging system. The wall fixing and the fittings on the frame must both suit the load; neither should be judged from the front view alone.
List the weight and fittings for each picture or mirror separately. Similar dimensions can conceal very different loads. A combined request helps plan the visit, but every object still needs compatible support and its own agreed position and handling requirements.
The agreed service covers layout, hanging-system and substrate review, compatible fixings for assessed loads. Exclusions: Glass cutting, frameless glazing, conservation handling, oversized unsupported loads, electrical work.
How it works
Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall.
The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable.
Agree the layout, select compatible fixings for assessed support and check the level and security of suitable framed items.
Confirm the Athlone address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Do not add weight to the hanging system or disturb its fittings. Report movement and seek specialist handling for damaged or unusually fragile items.
Athlone property context
An occupied Athlone property may need preparation before picture and mirror hanging can begin. Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Athlone enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Planning the work
The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
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.
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.

Agree the layout, select compatible fixings for assessed support and check the level and security of suitable framed items. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. Include a wide view as well as close details, keeping product labels readable. Do not dismantle a difficult or unsafe item just to take photographs; explain the access limitation instead.
Identify unusually fragile pieces, antiques or items needing conservation handling before booking. Standard handyman hanging does not imply specialist art installation or restoration capability. Oversized unsupported loads and damaged hanging systems must be assessed rather than accepted from a photograph.
