Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
Bentleigh property context
Bentleigh sits within the existing South-Eastern Melbourne coverage. For picture and mirror hanging, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. If the work is needed before an inspection, lease change or property handover, include the date and separate essential repairs from cosmetic touch-ups. This helps keep the request focused on what can reasonably be completed first.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
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 Bentleigh 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.
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.
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. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
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.
FAQ
