DULWICH IN PRACTICE
Hang a group of pictures around furniture that stays
Hang a group of pictures around furniture that stays.
Sort the pictures by dimensions, weight and rear hanging hardware. Identical-looking frames can have different mounting arrangements, so one fixing plan should not be assumed for the group.
A paper layout or annotated photo can communicate spacing before holes are considered. Keep the preferred composition distinct from the eventual assessment of wall and fixing suitability.
If replacing an earlier arrangement, show the old holes as well. Moving a frame may reveal marks, and decoration is not automatically included in hanging the new group.

Details worth resolving early
Which work is suitable?
Suitable picture and mirror hanging depends on the item and surface.
Can requests share a visit?
Several frames can share an enquiry without sharing one fixing assumption.
What about materials?
Keep each frame’s hanging hardware with its own specification.
How long should I allow?
Frame count, weights, layout and access inform the planned work period.
Can furniture be assembled?
Sideboard assembly is available as a separately reviewed task before the picture arrangement is finalised.
What about wall mounting?
A heavy mirror needs its own load assessment within a lighter picture group.
Can landlords arrange repairs?
Agree permission for new holes and identify who may approve the arrangement.

| Task | Pricing basis | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Repair or fitting | List exposed old holes as a separate finish request | Reviewed quote |
| Small furniture assembly | Assemble the sideboard before settling picture heights | From £30 |
| Several small jobs | Several frames can share an enquiry without sharing one fixing assumption. | Agreed combined work |
| Complex mounting | Review the television edge beside the picture group | Mounting assessment |
For the published small-item guide, see Alesta’s furniture assembly page . Other fitting and repair requests are quoted individually.
What affects the final handyman cost?+
Price the identified frames and any mirror individually within the group. Removal, handling and exposed-hole finishing can change the scope beyond the number of hanging items.
BUILD A REALISTIC LIST
Choose priorities for this arrangement
Number the frames and agree the preferred composition before installation is reviewed. Add old-hole repair only where it is actually wanted.
DIY or call a handyman?
| Situation | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| Simple familiar task | Paper templates can communicate spacing without determining fixing suitability. |
| Several jobs or awkward fitting | Seek fitting help for mixed weights or awkward access above furniture. |
| Uncertain wall, load or fixing | Check the wall before assuming existing picture holes support another load. |
| Gas, structure or fixed electrics | Allocate electrical or structural alterations outside the hanging brief. |

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
Questions about this particular job list
Do matching frames need matching fixings?
Not necessarily. Their weights and rear fittings may differ, and the wall still needs consideration even when the frames look identical.
Can I mark the layout with paper templates?
Templates can communicate your preferred spacing. They do not establish suitable fixing locations or confirm that the wall can support the items.
Should the sideboard be in place first?
Its final position helps establish the composition. Explain whether it is already assembled and whether access above it will need clearing.
Will old holes be filled automatically?
No. Identify exposed holes and the finish you expect. Hanging pictures and repairing or redecorating the previous positions are separate requirements.
Can one heavy mirror join the group?
List it as its own item with weight and hanging details. It should not inherit the assumptions made for lighter frames.
What if the arrangement crosses different wall surfaces?
Photograph the transition and describe the finishes. Fixing suitability must be considered for each proposed location rather than the group as a whole.
Must I buy picture hooks beforehand?
Send the supplied hardware information first. Buying additional hooks without considering the wall and load may leave unsuitable components.
Can the frames be moved later without marks?
Do not assume a mark-free change. The mounting method and existing finish affect what remains when a fitting is removed.
How do I request a quote for the group?
Number each picture and include its proposed position. Add removal and surface work explicitly so the enquiry describes more than a frame count.
TURN THE LIST INTO A PLAN
Discuss your Dulwich repair plan
Share the numbered picture group and a view of the furniture beneath it. Include the heavy mirror separately if one forms part of the proposed arrangement.
Task images are illustrative.
