Waverley context
What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Waverley
Federation and Edwardian Waverley homes have picture rails and lath-and-plaster — same hanging method as Bronte and Queens Park. Inter-war double-brick (1920s onwards) takes 6–8mm masonry anchors fine for moderate-weight pictures; heavier mirrors get chemical anchors. Post-2000 renovations typically have steel-stud framing with consistent 600mm spacing — we toggle-bolt across two studs for heavy items. We adapt to whichever wall the room calls for.

Heavy mirrors get toggle bolts or chemical anchors, not picture hooks.

Laser-levelled across the wall — perfectly straight.

TV Wall Mounting
Mounting a 65" TV on a Bondi apartment wall isn't just drilling four holes — wrong fixings into plasterboard pull out, brick needs masonry anchors, tiled walls need diamond bits. We mount, conceal cables, and pair with soundbars.
Shelving & Storage Solutions
Bondi apartments are short on storage and long on awkward alcoves. We build floating shelves, library walls, alcove cupboards, and laundry shelving that actually fits, anchored properly into studs or masonry.
Curtains & Blinds Installation
Curtain rods that don't sag in the middle, blinds that actually sit level, plantation shutters fitted into out-of-square Bondi window frames. We install supplied curtains and blinds without trashing your wall trim.
Grab Rail Installation
Grab rails fitted to bathroom tiles, walls, and shower frames — strong enough for full body weight, drilled cleanly through tile without cracks. NDIS clients, strata bathrooms, ageing-in-place renovations.
