Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We hang pictures at height in La Bordeta. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Improperly installed articulated mounts are the leading cause of falling TVs in homes. An articulated arm multiplies the lever effect when the TV tilts or turns. If the wall anchor is marginal, the real weight exerted on the fixing can triple at full extension. That's why we always look for metal studding behind plasterboard or concrete pillars. We never anchor an articulated mount solely to plasterboard or cavity brick.

When to call for hanging pictures at height in La Bordeta

The optimal screen centre height is 1.10-1.20 metres from the floor when viewed from a seated position on the sofa. For thoroughfares or kitchens, 1.40-1.60 m. We measure this before marking. On the Costa Blanca, the dust is not the same as inland. Sahara dust gets in through every crack and leaves a fine film on furniture and floors within days. Beach sand gets tracked into the house with shoes and accumulates in corners. Salty air leaves marks on glass and shower screens. And many homes remain closed for weeks or months. When owners return, they find dust, damp, and sometimes mould requiring a deep clean, not a quick tidy. This is the most requested service by permanent residents and those who spend long periods here. You can book ad-hoc hours or opt for fixed days weekly or fortnightly. The team handles dusting, floors, bathrooms, kitchen, changing bed linen and towels. All the usual tasks for home maintenance. For foreign owners who travel often, having a trusted person visit weekly prevents the house from accumulating dust and damp.

Materials and brands

Plasterboard (laminated gypsum board) is the modern material for ceilings and partitions in recent construction. It's very fragile without the correct anchor. For light loads up to 5 kilos, a toggle bolt is sufficient. For medium loads, there are metal plasterboard anchors (like Molly bolts) that expand behind the board. For heavy loads such as large TVs, you need to locate the supporting metal studding behind the plasterboard with a detector and screw into the stud. For small pictures up to 2 kilos, a hook or nail is sufficient on most walls except tiles and plasterboard. For medium pictures from 2 to 8 kilos, use a specific anchor for the material with a 4-5 mm screw. For large pictures and mirrors up to 15 kilos, use a reinforced anchor and a 6 mm screw. For LCD TV mounts up to 50 inches and a real weight of 25 kilos including the mount's weight, use two anchor points into studding or a pillar with an 8 mm screw. The first mistake is using a standard wall drill bit on tiles. The tip slips and cracks the tile. You need to use a ceramic drill bit with a diamond tip. The second mistake is using a hammer drill on tiles. The vibrations crack the tile from within, leading to fine cracks appearing weeks later. You must drill without percussion. The third mistake is not marking the centre precisely. A pencil mark on masking tape around the point prevents the drill bit from slipping.
