Can you hang a heavy mirror on plasterboard?

Yes — with the right anchors. We carry toggle bolts rated to 30kg+ each and find studs where possible.

How do you avoid drilling into wires?

We use a stud-and-services finder before drilling and follow standard wiring layout assumptions.

Bondi Junction context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Bondi Junction

BJ tower apartment walls are a mix of concrete (party walls, exterior shear), steel-stud plasterboard (internal partitions), and occasionally masonry infill. Heavy mirrors and large frames need to land on concrete or properly toggled steel stud — drilling into post-tensioned slabs requires scanning to avoid tendons. We bring a wall-scanner on every BJ tower job. Strata noise rules confine drilling to 9am–5pm Mon–Sat; we work within those windows.
