Materials?

Duration?
Large-item handling and the finish requirements affect the planned work time.

Decide what should remain visible around the new fitting
Wall fittings with the finish considered.
For a St John’s Wood interior, tell us whether existing wall marks can remain or need making good. The fitting itself and the surrounding decorative finish are related, but they should be agreed as separate parts of the work.
Replacing a large wall accessory with a smaller one can expose marks that were previously hidden. Photograph the old position and state whether the surrounding finish needs attention.
The installation brief should identify the new item’s weight and rear hardware separately from the desired decorative result. An attractive position is not evidence of adequate support behind it.

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
St John’s Wood: planning the handyman appointment
Will a smaller mirror hide the previous marks?
Not necessarily. Compare both outlines and specify exposed areas that need making good.
Can the wall simply be touched up?
Describe the finish required; colour matching and wider decoration are not automatic parts of hanging.
Is the accessory’s width enough information?
Include weight, height and rear fixing details, since similar-sized items can require different support.
Should the old fitting be removed before assessment?
Photograph it first and avoid unsafe handling. Discuss removal rather than dismantling something heavy yourself.
Can a preferred position be guaranteed from a photo?
No. The surface, support and item requirements may mean the location needs revising.
Are supplied hanging screws sufficient?
Their suitability depends on the actual installation and wall, not their inclusion in the packaging.
Can the furniture below stay in place?
Show the working access and discuss any handling needed before the appointment.
Who decides whether old marks can remain?
State your expected finished appearance in the enquiry and confirm any relevant owner permission.
Does the assembly guide price cover accessories?
No; wall accessories and surface work require an assessed quotation of their own.
