Noticeboard mounted level and secure to your wall. Whether it's cork, fabric, magnetic, or combination boards, it'll hang straight and stay put.
More Useful Than You'd Think
Home office. Kids' schedules. Family calendar. Shopping lists. A proper noticeboard stops all that loose paper chaos - but only if it's actually mounted rather than leaning against the wall for months.
💡 Pro tip: Position noticeboards at eye level for whoever uses them most. Kids' boards lower, adult office boards higher. Sounds obvious but people often mount them too high.
Solid Mounting Matters
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong |
|---|---|
| Level mounting | Wonky, looks unprofessional |
| Secure fixings for weight | Falls off wall after a week |
| Appropriate height | Too high to reach comfortably |
| Clean installation | Visible damage around edges |
Board types and weights:
- Cork boards: Light, basic fixings work
- Framed boards: Heavy timber frame needs good fixings
- Magnetic/whiteboard: Metal backing = surprisingly heavy
- Fabric pinboards: Usually light unless large

What to Expect
Step 1: Position Check
We agree on height and position - eye level for whoever's using it, clear of obstacles, good visibility.
Step 2: Secure Mounting
I drill and fix using appropriate wall plugs and fixings for your wall type and board weight. No skimping on fixings - boards are heavier than they look.
Step 3: Hang & Level
Board goes up, I check it's genuinely level (not "looks about right"), make sure it's solid.
🔧 DIY Tips
Noticeboard mounting is straightforward if you get it level:
🔧 Tools needed
- Spirit level
- Drill with appropriate bits
- Screwdrivers
- Pencil and tape measure
- The board itself
📏 Getting level
- Hold board where you want it
- Mark top corners lightly
- Use spirit level to check marks are level
- Measure where hanging points will be
- Double-check level before drilling
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Not checking level (wonky boards obvious)
- Inadequate fixings for board weight
- Too high to comfortably reach
- Not accounting for frame thickness
💡 Pro trick: For boards with wire hangers on back, pull the wire tight and measure from board top to wire peak. That's how far below your marked line the screw needs to go.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏠 Multiple rooms? Kitchen board, office board, kids' room board? Do them all in one visit. More efficient than separate trips.
Heavy boards: Large framed noticeboards or metal-backed boards are heavier than you'd think. Plasterboard walls need proper cavity anchors, not just basic plugs.
Height positioning: Eye level varies! Kids' boards should be lower. Office boards can be higher. Think about who's using it most.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you mount large noticeboards?
Yes - even big office-style boards. Large boards are surprisingly heavy, especially framed ones, so proper wall fixings are essential. I use appropriate fixings for the size and weight.
What about magnetic/whiteboard combo boards?
Same process - they're just heavier than basic cork boards. The metal backing adds weight, so fixings need to account for that.
Do I need to buy special fixings?
No - I bring appropriate fixings for your wall type and board weight. Cork boards, magnetic boards, fabric boards - all need different strength fixings.
Can you fit multiple boards in a row?
Yes - for offices or home offices with multiple boards side-by-side, I'll mount them all level to each other. Looks much more professional than individually mounted.
How long does one board take?
Single noticeboard usually 20-30 minutes. Multiple boards in one visit take less time each. Kitchen, office, kids' room all in one go makes sense.
