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 visible maintenance item is worn, loose, damaged or no longer works as expected. Causes: conditions that need direct review before a repair option is chosen or ordinary use, visible wear or local damage.
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.
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.
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.
