New clock needs hanging? I'll get it level and secure with proper fixings for your wall type. No wonky clocks or unnecessary holes in your plaster.
### Level Matters When It's On Your Wall All Day
You bought a lovely new clock. It's been sat on the side for weeks because you're not quite sure **where to hang it** or **how to get it level**.
A wonky clock catches your eye **every single time** you walk past. And drilling multiple holes trying to get it right just damages your wall.
**Get it right first time.** Level, secure, looking exactly how it should.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The perfect height for a wall clock is usually around eye level - roughly 150-170cm from the floor depending on your ceiling height and the clock size.

Good to Know
**Not sure about position?** I'm happy to hold it up in a few different spots so you can see what works best before I drill. **Gallery wall of clocks?** Perfect. I'll get them all level relative to each other and evenly spaced. Multiple clocks done together is much more efficient. **Old house with wonky walls?** I work in Exeter's period properties all the time. I'll hang it level (not following your wonky skirting), which actually makes the room look better. **Want to move an existing clock?** I'll patch the old holes with filler while I'm there, then hang it in the new spot.
Frequently Asked Questions about Clock hanging in Crediton
How do you hang a clock level?
Spirit level and proper marking. I measure, mark exactly where the fixing needs to go, then drill and mount it. Sounds simple but it's easy to get wrong - one mm off and your clock sits wonky.
What if my wall is plaster or plasterboard?
That's where proper fixings matter. Heavy clock on plasterboard needs a proper plasterboard fixing or finding a stud. Solid walls just need the right plug and screw. I'll use whatever your wall needs.
Can you hang a really heavy clock?
Yes - as long as we can fix into something solid. Really heavy clocks might need fixing into a stud or multiple fixings. I'll assess when I see it and make sure it's not coming down.
What if I'm not sure exactly where I want it?
I can hold it up at a few different positions so you can see how it looks. Once you're happy with the spot, I'll get it fixed properly. Better to decide before I drill than have extra holes.
How long does it take?
Standard wall clock - about 10 minutes. Heavier or more complex fixing might be 15 minutes. Quick job either way.
