Wall mounting · Brunswick West
For picture and mirror hanging at your Brunswick West property, start with the product and the practical requirements. The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
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.
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.
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 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.
Brunswick West property context
An occupied Brunswick West 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. Brunswick West sits near Pascoe Vale South, Moonee Ponds, Essendon and Travancore. 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
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.
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. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Common situations
A picture arrangement benefits from an agreed layout before holes are made. Show the items together and mark the desired area in a room photo. Discuss spacing and alignment without assuming that a single-item quote includes an entire gallery wall.
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.
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.

FAQ
