Professional wine rack fitting services across Exeter and Devon. We mount your wine rack securely to the wall, ensuring it's level, stable, and safe to hold the weight of bottles.
Wall-mounted wine racks are stylish and practical, but they need proper installation. When loaded with bottles, they're heavier than you'd think, and wonky installation looks terrible and risks bottles falling.
We provide professional wine rack fitting - securing it to the wall with appropriate fixings, ensuring it's perfectly level, and checking it'll safely support the loaded weight.
| Rack Type | Typical Capacity | Loaded Weight | Fixing Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small wooden rack | 6 bottles | 8-10kg | Good wall plugs or studs |
| Medium rack | 12 bottles | 15-20kg | Heavy-duty fixings essential |
| Large decorative | 20+ bottles | 25-35kg | Must fix to studs/masonry |
| Metal wall holder | 3-6 bottles | 5-8kg | Standard wall fixings |
We'll check your wall type before installation. Solid walls are straightforward. Plasterboard walls need fixings into studs or specialist plasterboard fixings for heavier racks. We won't bodge it with inadequate fixings.

What to Expect
1. Positioning and planning We'll discuss where you want the rack and check the wall type. We'll ensure the position allows bottles to fit properly (ceiling height, adjacent obstacles). You confirm the position before we drill.
2. Secure mounting We mark fixing points using a level, drill accurately, and use appropriate fixings for your wall type and rack weight. The rack is mounted securely and checked for level in both directions.
3. Testing and demonstration We test the installation is secure and show you the finished result. For larger racks, we'll advise on loading it gradually and checking fixings settle properly.
🔧 DIY Tips
- Check wall type before buying a wine rack - plasterboard walls have limits
- For heavy racks, fix into wall studs or masonry, not just plasterboard
- A full wine rack is heavier than it looks - plan for loaded weight
- Use a spirit level in both directions - level horizontally and vertically
- Don't overload racks beyond their stated capacity

Good to Know
Wine rack fitting is a quick job that makes a nice addition to kitchen installations or other work we're doing. The trickiest bit is ensuring level installation - bottles sitting wonky looks awful and can cause them to slide out. If you're buying a wine rack, consider wall type when choosing - large heavy racks need solid walls or finding studs in plasterboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wine racks can you fit?
We fit all types - wall-mounted wooden racks, metal wine holders, under-cabinet racks, and wall-mounted wine glass holders. From simple 6-bottle racks to larger decorative installations.
How much does wine rack fitting cost?
Most wine rack fitting costs £60 (our minimum charge). This covers secure wall mounting with appropriate fixings. Larger or heavier racks may take longer. We ensure level installation and secure fixing.
Do you supply the wine rack or just fit it?
We typically fit racks you've purchased, as styles and sizes vary widely. We can advise on suitable racks if needed, but you choose and buy the one that matches your taste and space.
What if my wine rack is really heavy when full?
We use fixings rated for the loaded weight. A 12-bottle rack can weigh 15-20kg when full, so we use appropriate wall plugs and screws, ideally fixing to wall studs or masonry, not just plasterboard.
