That needs different fixings than a light frame on solid brick. ### Step 2: Positioning and Fixing You point, I measure and level. Each item gets the right fixing for the wall and the weight. No guesswork. ### Step 3: Final Adjustments Walk through with you, make sure everything's straight and where you want it. Job done.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Older Exeter properties:** Solid walls are great for hanging heavy stuff, but they need drilling. Plasterboard is quicker for light items. I'll tell you what you've got and use the right approach. **Multiple rooms to do?** It's quicker to do them all in one visit while I've got the tools out. Book the time and we'll work through the whole house. **Renting?** I'll use the smallest fixings that'll do the job safely. Most landlords are fine with picture hooks - it's what happens when you try to remove badly-installed ones that causes damage.
Frequently Asked Questions about Picture Hanging New Home in Exmouth
How many pictures can you hang in an hour?
Depends on the walls and what you're hanging. Solid walls need drilling, so maybe 5-8 pictures per hour. Plasterboard is quicker with the right fixings - could be 10-15 smaller frames. I'll keep going until they're all up.
What about really heavy mirrors?
Heavy mirrors need proper wall fixings - rawl plugs in solid walls, or heavy-duty plasterboard anchors. I'll use the right fixing for your wall type. A big mirror falling off the wall is both dangerous and expensive, so it gets done properly.
Can you arrange them in a gallery wall pattern?
Yes - if you've got a layout in mind, I can mark it out and hang them accordingly. Or if you want them evenly spaced, I'll measure and get them level. Just show me what you're after and I'll make it happen.
Do I need to buy the hooks and fixings?
I bring a selection of hooks, rawl plugs, and plasterboard fixings. If you've got something particularly heavy or unusual, I might need to grab specific fixings, but I'll sort that out.
What about old plaster that crumbles?
Exmouth's older houses often have dodgy plaster. I'll find the solid spots, use the right fixings, and make sure everything's secure. Sometimes that means going into the brick behind rather than trusting crumbly plaster.
