### That Clock Leaning Against the Skirting Board
Been there 3 months? **Join the club.**
Hanging a clock should be simple, but there's the whole "is this straight" dance with the spirit level, wondering if your wall plug will hold, and that nagging worry you're about to drill into a pipe.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Kitchen clocks are rarely as light as they look. Use proper fixings, not just a picture hook, or you'll be picking up broken glass.

Good to Know
> 🕐 **Got several clocks to hang?** Bundle them together. You're already paying the £60 minimum, so adding 2-3 more clocks barely adds any time. Much more economical than separate callouts. **Stairwell clocks** look great but are awkward to hang without proper access equipment. I've got the ladders and the nerve. **Cuckoo clocks** need hanging absolutely level or the pendulum won't swing properly. Also need enough clearance for the chains/weights to drop. I can advise on positioning.
Frequently Asked Questions about Clock hanging in Crediton
What types of clocks can you hang?
All of them - lightweight kitchen clocks, heavy wooden wall clocks, decorative clocks, station clocks, cuckoo clocks. Each needs different fixings depending on weight. I bring a range and use whatever's right for your clock and wall type.
Will you damage my wall hanging a clock?
Minimal holes - usually just one or two small drill holes that disappear behind the clock. Much neater than multiple failed DIY attempts. If you ever take the clock down, a dab of filler sorts it.
Can you hang a clock really high up?
Yes - I bring a ladder for high positions like stairwells or above fireplaces. Safer than you balancing on a chair. I'll get it level and secure.
Do I need to buy the fixings?
No - I bring appropriate hooks, screws, and wall plugs. I'll assess your wall type (solid, plasterboard, lath & plaster) and clock weight, then use the right fixing. All included.
What if my walls are wonky old lath and plaster?
Common in Crediton's period houses. Lath and plaster needs gentle drilling and specific fixings - it's more fragile than modern walls. I've hung hundreds of things in old Devon properties, so your walls are safe.
