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.

Picture & mirror hanging in Clovelly

Clovelly 2031 beachside cottages and walk-up flats typically need standard picture-hanging work, with salt-resistant backing wire for ocean-facing rooms. The complication is access — narrow stairs and tight cottage hallways.

Clovelly context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Clovelly

Cottages on Clovelly's back streets have lath-and-plaster on timber stud, standard fixing strategy. Walk-up flats above the bay have solid-brick external walls and thinner internal partitions; we adapt fixing to the wall. Heavy mirrors over 40kg need careful access planning — narrow stair landings can make positioning a 1.5m mirror challenging. Backing wire on frames in ocean-side rooms gets stainless replacement as default.
