Wall mounting · St Andrews
For picture and mirror hanging at your St Andrews property, start with the product and the practical requirements. The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Picture and Mirror Hanging
suitable framed pictures and mirrors with assessed hanging systems and loads
St Andrews property context
For St Andrews enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested picture and mirror hanging. The item weight, frame fittings, wall construction and safe fixing locations determine whether ordinary hanging work is suitable. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For a St Andrews quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
Show the front and back of each item, weight information, existing hanging fittings and the complete intended wall. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
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.
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.
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.

Service overview
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.
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.
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.
