Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
Kensington property context
Kensington sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For picture and mirror hanging, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Kensington sits near North Melbourne, Travancore, Flemington and Parkville. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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 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.
