Mirrors from your old house rehung securely in the new one. Properly mounted with correct fixings for the wall type - so they don't fall off in six months.
Don't Just Stick Them Up With Command Strips
You've got mirrors from your old house. They're good mirrors, proper ones, heavy. Do you really want to trust them to stick-on hooks that might fail at 3am?
💡 Pro tip: Book mirror hanging when the house is empty or just after moving in. Much easier without furniture in the way, and you walk into a house that feels finished.
Why Proper Mounting Matters

|---|---|
| Right fixings for wall and weight | Command strips on heavy mirror |
| Level and aligned properly | Wonky, noticeable from across room |

Good to Know
> ⚠️ **Heavy mirror safety:** If a mirror weighs more than about 5kg, it needs proper wall fixings into solid wall or studs. Plasterboard alone won't hold it long-term. I'll always check and use appropriate fixings. **Bathroom mirrors:** Often heavy and in humid environments. Need proper rust-resistant fixings and secure mounting - not a place to take shortcuts. **Old mirror fixings:** If your mirror has old-style clips or wire, I can upgrade to modern mirror plates if it makes mounting easier or more secure. **Wall damage:** I'll patch and fill the holes, but if you want perfect decoration-ready finish, you might want to touch up paint after. Or book me to do that too. **Multiple mirrors:** Doing several at once is more efficient - I'm already there with all the fixings and tools. Much cheaper per mirror than individual visits.
Frequently Asked Questions about Mirror refit new home in Dawlish
Why not just use command strips or hooks?
Command strips work for small light mirrors. Anything bigger or heavier needs proper wall plugs and screws or it'll fall off - possibly on someone. I use the right fixings for your wall type (plaster, plasterboard, brick) and the weight of your mirror.
Can you hang heavy bathroom mirrors?
Yes - heavy mirrors need proper fixings into studs or solid wall, not just plasterboard. I'll check what your walls are, use appropriate fixings, and make sure it's secure before I leave. Safety first with heavy mirrors.
I want to use the same mirrors from my old house - can you refit them?
Absolutely. If you've taken mirrors down carefully (or I can remove them from your old place), I'll refit them in the new house. Often easier than buying new ones, especially if they're good quality.
How long does each mirror take?
Simple wall-mounted mirror on solid wall is 20-30 minutes. Heavy bathroom mirror with brackets might be 45 mins. Multiple mirrors in one visit is most efficient - I'm already there with the tools.
What if the mirror has no fixings?
Some mirrors just have clips or D-rings. I bring various mirror plates and fixings, so I can fit whatever mounting hardware is needed. I'll work with what you've got or upgrade the fixings if needed.
