Melody was absolutely fantastic! Apart from being incredible efficient, a great communicator and executing the job exactly as I imaged (creating a wardrobe), she also came with great ideas herself and finished the job in a very timely manner. She absolutely went above and beyond. We thought that she was so great that we got her to do some extra work for us when she was here, and all those tasks were done to perfection. She is clean, friendly, very trust worthy and has a great eye for small details, that many people do not have. HIGHLY recommend!

Suggested reads about Shelf Hanging

What does a shelf installation include?

Common shelf installation services include building wardrobe and pantry shelves and hanging wall shelving. Your professional will ensure your shelf has the right fittings, angles, and is structurally sound. Popular shelf installation tasks include:


Install a floating shelf

A floating shelf is attached to a wall with no visible means of support, and are popular for their modern, minimalistic look. To begin installing your floating shelf, your handyman will assess the space and use a stud finder to mark the most secure spot for the brackets. They’ll use an electric drill to make a hole and secure the brackets, using a level to ensure everything lines up perfectly. Once the brackets are installed, they’ll measure the space between them and drill into the shelving to fit these exact measurements. Then they’ll slide the shelving into the brackets.


Install a hanging shelf

Your hanging shelf installer will make sure the best type of nail is used for your wall material and the best position to install your shelf. They will use a level if you’re installing more than one hanging shelf to ensure they’re mounted evenly. Your installer will advise how much weight the shelf will be able to bear and answer any questions you may have.


Install a wardrobe or pantry shelf

Your shelving installer will advise on the best kind of shelving to suit your space - fixed, adjustable, corner, floating, or pull out. They will then measure the space. If you’re hiring them to make the shelving too, they’ll let you know how long it will take them to build your custom shelving. Once the shelves are ready, they’ll use their tools to expertly screw your new shelves into place. If you opted for sliding or rotating shelves, they’ll ensure the shelves pull out smoothly.


Install a garage shelf

Getting your garage or workshop organised with shelving can help with storage and productivity. Your handyman will advise what type of shelving will best suit your space and align this with your weight-bearing requirements. With overhead shelving, your installer will attach the brackets to the ceiling where the joists are located -  this is the strongest point in your ceiling. 



Your handyman will properly measure the space for your overhead shelving and make sure it will not interfere with your garage door, lighting, and work area. They will then install your shelving, with the longest part going across the joists so that your new shelves will have the most support possible and not overburden the joists.

Emmanuel was really positive throughout even when we were working with old and not particularly easily assembled shelves.

I would recommend :)

Mirror hanging + wall shelf installation + wooden chairs repair

£80

West Hampstead, Greater London, NW6

5th Sep 2025

Hello there, 1. Mirror Hanging and Wall shelf installation. There is a mirror and a 6-layer wall shelf need to be installed on the wall. The installation position is close to the socket, so we would prefer someone experienced and who could carry a cable/pipe detector to help avoid damage to the cable. 2. Two broken wooden dining chairs The front legs of our dining chairs have broken off, so I am also looking for someone with experience in wood repair to reattach the legs and ensure they are stable for daily use. (It seems they were glued together but I’m not sure, so please see photos for reference). Tools and supplies: It will be great if you could bring tools and supplies as the mirror does not come with screws and dowels, and we are not very sure what would be needed for the chair repair. Thank you very much.
