-
I am renting - Can I hang Pictures & Mirrors?Currently, in accordance with section 66(1) of the NSW Residential Tenancies Act, tenants are allowed to install fixtures or make alterations, renovations or additions to a rental premises if they have written consent from the landlord or the residential tenancy agreement permits. A new section 66(2A) from March 2020 was inserted into the Residential Tenancies Act, setting out that certain alterations, additions, renovations and fixtures may be prescribed as of a “minor nature” and that the landlord is not able to unreasonably withhold consent. Further, with respect to certain prescribed minor changes, the landlord may give consent on the condition that an appropriately qualified person makes the change. If you’re allowed to drill into the walls, we can definitely do your install. NSW Tenancy Law allows for minor modifications to be done as part of your rental agreement. As long as once you end your lease you return the walls to their original condition. We offer repair services for end of Lease Tenancy. First of all you all need to find out from your building manager or agent what the wall colour code is. We can offer a full patch and paint service. If you have been specifically told in your Tenancy agreement that you cannot drill holes or are refused permission then there are a few "damage-free" solutions available from 3M such as adhesive picture hooks however, we do not install these products for you, as they can fail easily plus they can also peel paint off the walls which creates more damage than just drilling holes. We do not recommend using Sticky hooks for any hanging of Artworks of Mirrors.
-
Do you offer advice of Art Placement?Yes we certainly do. We have been doing Professional Art and Picture Hanging for 30 years. We work with interior designers, staging and styling companies and galleries across Sydney, we offer expert advice on where and how to hang your pieces. We also offer advice on pieces you may be looking at purchasing or can point you in the right direction for new or existing art pieces that would suit your premises. You art install appointment will include placement advice for the space. How should you match different shapes, sizes, and shades within a room, taking into account your furniture and lighting?
-
Fixtures and Fittings - What do I need?Our Professional Picture and Mirror hanging service includes supply of all hanging wire, D-rings, French Cleats for the Heavy items plus even Secure Brackets for Artworks that are in public places so they cannot be removed. If at the time of your appointment we deem that the fixture is not sufficient this would incur additional charges for hanging products such as a French Cleat. We supply basic fixtures for your hanging at no extra cost.
-
Can you hang heavy Artwork and Mirrors on Gyprock Walls?Of course we can. Hanging Pictures and Mirrors is an art-form itself. Most of the time it does not allow us to hang items into Stud work on your Gyprock walls. We have fixtures that we use for any weighted Art and Mirror pieces. There has not been any Artwork or Mirror that we have not been able to hang on a Gyprock wall.
-
Do you hang using Picture Rails?A question we get asked quite a fair bit is "Do we hang using Picture Rails?" Most houses more than 40 years old have Victorian Picture Moulding Rails, some newer premises have Gallery Rails installed. We hang using both types of rails. We supply and use professional hanging fixtures supplied by FX Hanging Systems in Balmain. These are not only the best to use as the Nylon wire is clear but the zipper adjustable hooks can take a fair bit of weight on them. If you are wanting to hang using either of these systems then you would need mainly 2 wire kits per picture if its over 50cm wide. Also to hang flush against the wall we add mini D drings to hang from otherwise the frames stick out on an angle.
-
Do you scan walls for Electrical Cables and Water Pipes?Hanging pictures can be tricky business but we cant avoid things like crumbling walls but we can avoid things like electrical cabling and water pipes by scanning walls prior with state of the art tools that we carry with us and use prior to drilling any holes. In the event of any property damage we are fully insured.

Do you supply Artworks & Mirrors?We do supply Artworks & Mirrors for Strata Plan complexes. We work with leading Interior designers in planning Foyer and Floor Level artworks for new or renovated Apartment complexes or office spaces. We can offer a complete package which includes attending Executive Committee meetings to discuss the Strata Plan needs and present concept ideas to work out the overall theme needed with residents.
