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 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.
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.
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.
