picture and mirror hanging can be appropriate when a visible maintenance item is worn, loose, damaged or no longer works as expected. The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable.
Signs: a bounded task needs a clear decision before work is scheduled or a visible maintenance item is worn, loose, damaged or no longer works as expected. Causes: ordinary use, visible wear or local damage or loose compatible components or incomplete prior work.
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.
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.
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.
