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 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: conditions that need direct review before a repair option is chosen or loose compatible components or incomplete prior work.
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.
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 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.
