Yes for heavy mounts or large arrangements to confirm feasibility and provide a fixed quote. First, the old sealant must be completely removed. New sealant cannot be applied over old sealant; it won't adhere and will peel off within weeks. Removal is done with a special cutter, scraper, and, in difficult cases, a specific softening chemical product that dissolves the old sealant without damaging the tile.

Improperly installed articulated mounts are the leading cause of falling TVs in homes. The articulating arm multiplies the leverage effect when the TV is tilted or turned. If the wall anchor is marginal, the actual weight exerted on the fixing can triple at maximum extension. That's why we always look for metal studs behind plasterboard or a concrete pillar. We never anchor an articulating arm solely to plasterboard or cavity brick. We assess the condition of the joints and check for underlying dampness that might require other intervention first. Silicone sealant joints in wet areas like showers, bathtubs, and kitchen countertops have a realistic lifespan of 4 to 7 years in the best-case scenario. After that, the first signs appear: discolouration to yellow or grey, small cracks in the sealant bead, separation between the sealant and the wall orfixture. Black mould stains that cannot be removed by normal cleaning also appear, or water that filters through when someone showers.

Perforated brick is the most common material in interior partitions and non-load-bearing walls. It's reasonably easy to drill, but the problem is that the wall plug can fall into the internal cavity of the brick if it enters between two walls. To prevent this, we use special plugs that expand inside the cavity. It works well for medium loads. For heavy loads, it's better to find the nearest pillar. There are four common types of wall in the area's homes, and each requires different techniques and materials. If the fixing is incorrect, the short-term result may appear acceptable. In the medium term, the weight of the picture or TV overcomes the material, and everything ends up on the floor. Specific plugs and screws according to material, suitable drill bit, and dust extraction.

The price for hanging pictures and shelves in Porta typically ranges between €27 and €158. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and the time required. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If the fixing fails, we return at no cost to reinforce it. Plugs are calculated with a safety margin. Approximately 60-90 minutes including arrangement, marking, drilling, fixing, and cleaning. We provide a fixed price for the job.
