Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
Service overview
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.
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.
Carrum property context
Carrum sits within the existing Greater 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. For a Carrum quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Planning 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.
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.
Do not add weight to the hanging system or disturb its fittings. Report movement and seek specialist handling for damaged or unusually fragile items. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
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.
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.
