Multiple loose screws sorted around the house in one visit - door handles, cabinet catches, hinges, fixtures. I'll tighten them properly and replace any that are stripped.
### Stop Wobbling Things Around Your House
You know that **wonky door handle** you jiggle every time? The kitchen cupboard that's **hanging at a funny angle**? The bathroom mirror that's **slowly working its way down the wall**?
They're all loose screws. And they're all fixable in one visit.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Loose screws often mean the holes have worn bigger. Just tightening them won't fix it long-term - you need slightly bigger or longer screws.

### Why This Keeps Happening
Screws work loose over time for predictable reasons:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ What Usually Happens | |--------------|-------------------------| | Screw tightened into proper pilot hole | Original screw too small for the job | | Rawlplug used in plaster or masonry | Screwed straight into crumbly plaster | | Right length screw with good grip | Screw barely reaches past the surface | | Checked and tightened annually | Ignored until something falls off |

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Got a list?** Perfect. Write down everything that's loose or wobbly - I'll work through it systematically. Much more efficient than wandering around trying to remember. **Multiple rooms?** One visit covers the whole house. Much better value than calling someone out repeatedly. **Old house with worn fixings?** That's most of Exeter! Original screw holes are often oversized or the plaster's crumbly. I'll fix them properly so they last another hundred years.
Frequently Asked Questions about Multiple loose screws in Tiverton
How many screws can you tighten in an hour?
Depends where they are - if I'm going around tightening door handles, hinges, and cupboard catches I can usually get a fair few done. I'll give everything a proper tighten and replace any that are stripped or missing.
What if screws keep coming loose in the same spot?
That usually means the hole's worn out or the screw's too small. I'll use a longer screw, fill the hole and re-drill, or add a rawlplug if it's into plaster. Fixes it properly rather than just tightening temporarily.
Can you just do a tour of the house tightening things?
Absolutely - that's the point of this service. You walk me round showing what's loose, I go through with the right tools and tighten everything properly. Very satisfying tick-off-the-list job.
Do I need to buy replacement screws?
I carry a decent selection of screws for common jobs. If something needs an unusual size or type, I can pick it up from the merchant - I'll just charge you what they cost.
Will you strip the heads trying to tighten old screws?
Not if I can help it. I use proper-fitting drivers and know when to stop. If a screw's already damaged or the slot's worn, I'll replace it rather than make it worse.
