a practical repair list needs the affected item and its condition identified. Agree the layout, select compatible fixings for assessed support and check the level and security of suitable framed items.
Signs: a bounded task needs a clear decision before work is scheduled or a visible maintenance item is worn, loose, damaged or no longer works as expected. Causes: loose compatible components or incomplete prior work or conditions that need direct review before a repair option is chosen.
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.
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.
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.
