Wall mounting · Exford
For picture and mirror hanging at your Exford 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
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.
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 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 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.
Exford property context
For Exford enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested picture and mirror hanging. The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For a Exford 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
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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 front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. Include a wide view as well as close details, keeping product labels readable. Do not dismantle a difficult or unsafe item just to take photographs; explain the access limitation instead.
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.
Agree the layout, select compatible fixings for assessed support and check the level and security of suitable framed items. Arrange the required owner or manager permission and identify the access contact.
