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 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: 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 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.
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.
