Noticeboard fitted level and secure. No wonky angles, no falling off. Just properly mounted where you need it.
Every Home Needs One
School letters, appointment cards, emergency contacts, that reminder you absolutely mustn't forget. They all need somewhere to live.
A noticeboard on the wall beats scraps of paper stuck to the fridge with ancient magnets. But only if it's level.
💡 Pro tip: Put it where you actually look - by the door, in the kitchen, wherever you plan your week. Hidden in the spare room? Pointless.

🔧 DIY Tips
Noticeboards are one of the easier things to fit yourself. Here's how:
🔧 Tools needed
- Spirit level (essential!)
- Drill and correct drill bit
- Wall plugs (match to wall type)
- Screws (usually provided with board)
- Pencil
- Stud finder helpful if plasterboard walls
📐 The method
- Hold board in position
- Put level on top edge
- Mark through fixing holes when level
- Drill holes, insert wall plugs
- Screw board to wall
- Check it doesn't wobble
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Not checking level - "eyeballing it" always looks wonky
- Wrong wall plugs for wall type
- Drilling into cables/pipes (use a detector!)
- Overtightening - cracks the frame
- Measuring from floor (floor might not be level)
💡 Pro trick: If your board has keyhole slots on the back, screw the screws into the wall first (leaving them sticking out a bit), then hang the board on them. Much easier than trying to hold the board and drill at the same time.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Height guide: For adults, center of board around 150-160cm (eye level). For kids, lower - have them stand where they'll use it and position accordingly.
Multiple boards in a row? Use a long spirit level across all of them to get them perfectly aligned. Looks intentional, not random.
Door-mounted option. If wall space is limited, back of a door works brilliantly - uses otherwise wasted space.
Combo boards are worth considering. Half cork, half whiteboard, or magnetic strips for both pinning and writing. More versatile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why get a noticeboard professionally fitted?
Most people can DIY this, but if you want it dead level, fixed into studs not just plasterboard, and done in 10 minutes flat - that's what I do. Often it's added onto other jobs in the same visit.
What if I have a plasterboard wall?
I'll find the studs and fix into those for a solid mount. If that's not possible due to positioning, I'll use proper plasterboard fixings rated for the weight. Either way, it's not falling off.
Can you fit multiple boards in a row?
Absolutely - and I'll make sure they're all level with each other. Three wonky boards look terrible, three perfectly aligned ones look intentional and professional.
Do I provide the noticeboard?
Yes - there are tons of options (cork, fabric, magnetic, whiteboard combo) at different sizes. Buy what suits your needs, I'll fit it properly.
How long does fitting take?
Usually 15-20 minutes. Position it, check level, drill and plug appropriately, mount securely. If doing several in one visit, even quicker per board.
