A practical picture and mirror hanging decision starts with the affected item, its condition and the surrounding materials. 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 practical repair list needs the affected item and its condition identified. Causes: ordinary use, visible wear or local damage 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.
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.
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.
