Stocking hooks installed securely on your mantle, beam, or wall. I handle measuring, spacing, and fitting - you get evenly-placed hooks strong enough to hold fully-loaded Christmas stockings.
### Perfectly Spaced, Properly Secure
**Stocking hooks** seem simple until you're trying to get five of them evenly spaced on a mantle while balancing on a chair with a drill. Easier to get it done properly.
I'll measure up, space the hooks evenly, and fit them securely enough to hold actual full stockings (not just decorative empty ones). Takes half an hour and looks way better than guesswork.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Fit hooks to the underside of the mantle shelf if possible - they're less visible but work just as well, especially for houses with beautiful original features.

Good to Know
> 🎄 **Reusing every year?** If these hooks are going up every Christmas, worth fitting them properly with small screws. Adhesive hooks eventually fail, and you'll be redoing it annually. **Filled stockings are heavy:** A stocking loaded with presents, chocolate, and fruit can weigh several kilos. I make sure hooks are secure enough for reality, not just decoration. **Exeter's older properties?** Victorian and Edwardian mantles are often beautiful original features. I can fit hooks discreetly where they won't damage or show on the decorative woodwork.
Frequently Asked Questions about Stocking hooks install in Tiverton
How do you fix hooks without damaging a nice wooden mantle?
For temporary Christmas hooks, I usually use very small pilot holes that fill easily afterwards, or proper adhesive hooks rated for the weight. For permanent hooks (reused every year), small screws into the underside or back edge where they won't show.
Can you fit hooks to a wall if there's no mantle?
Absolutely - some houses don't have fireplaces or mantles. I can fit decorative hooks to any wall, positioned at the right height for hanging stockings.
How do you get them evenly spaced?
I measure and mark before drilling anything. Nothing looks worse than wonky, randomly-spaced hooks. Takes an extra couple of minutes but looks way better.
What if I want to remove them after Christmas?
If that's the plan, I'll use removable adhesive hooks or fit them in a way that leaves minimal marks. Just mention when booking that they're temporary.
Can the hooks hold stockings that are actually full?
Yes - I use proper hooks rated for weight, not decorative rubbish that'll ping off when a stocking has anything in it. They'll hold presents, chocolate, whatever gets stuffed in there.
