How do you avoid drilling into wires?

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

Vaucluse context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Vaucluse

Vaucluse estate walls vary widely: solid sandstone, sandstock brick behind render, lath-and-plaster on hardwood stud. We pilot-drill before committing the anchor location on every job — sandstone is unforgiving of mis-set anchors, and heritage plaster-skim doesn't tolerate redo holes. House staff or estate managers usually direct us; sometimes the homeowner's curator or art-handling specialist coordinates positioning. We work alongside them rather than alone.

Recent: Wentworth Road estate, formal living room. Three large oil paintings in heritage frames repositioned during a redecoration. Sandstone walls behind a 30mm hand-finished plaster skim, pilot-drilled to confirm before chemical anchors went in for the heaviest piece. Half-day visit, art-handling specialist on site.

Our process — same standard, every booking

1
Plan layout
Painter's tape mock-up first for gallery walls; we don't drill until you approve.
2
Anchor for the load
Heavy mirrors get toggle bolts or chemical anchors, not picture hooks.
3
Level and align
Laser-levelled across the wall — perfectly straight.
