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: 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.
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.
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.
