Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
Prahran property context
Planning picture and mirror hanging in Prahran starts with the actual item and its setting. Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. A useful Prahran enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Common situations
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.
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 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.
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.
Do not add weight to the hanging system or disturb its fittings. Report movement and seek specialist handling for damaged or unusually fragile items. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
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.

Service overview
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 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.
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.
