Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
Oakleigh property context
An occupied Oakleigh property may need preparation before picture and mirror hanging can begin. Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Take one close photo of the damage and one wider photo showing the surrounding wall, door or fitting. Add dimensions for shelves, holes, hardware or replacement items, and include product labels when you have them.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
How it works
Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall.
The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable.
Agree the layout, select compatible fixings for assessed support and check the level and security of suitable framed items.
Confirm the Oakleigh address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Do not add weight to the hanging system or disturb its fittings. Report movement and seek specialist handling for damaged or unusually fragile items.
Planning the work
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Agree the layout, select compatible fixings for assessed support and check the level and security of suitable framed items. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
FAQ
Do not add weight to the hanging system or disturb its fittings. Report movement and seek specialist handling for damaged or unusually fragile items. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. Include a wide view as well as close details, keeping product labels readable. Do not dismantle a difficult or unsafe item just to take photographs; explain the access limitation instead.
The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
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.
The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Explain what has already been changed and show the current condition. Retain loose parts or product labels. Previous work can affect the available options, so it should be disclosed before the quote is agreed.
The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Some questions can be clarified from product information and photos; others require direct inspection. Fix Nik can explain what remains uncertain before confirming whether the proposed task is suitable.
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.
