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 practical repair list needs the affected item and its condition identified or a bounded task needs a clear decision before work is scheduled. Causes: loose compatible components or incomplete prior work or conditions that need direct review before a repair option is chosen.
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.
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.
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.
