What to know about Picture & art hanging
Hanging pictures is the smallest job on any handyman's list and the one most likely to leave a mark you cannot undo. Part of that is the weight - a large framed mirror or a canvas in a heavy moulding is a serious load on a wall that may be plasterboard, lime plaster on laths, or a partition built of anything a 1970s builder had handy. Part of it is placement, which is a matter of a centimetre and an eye rather than a tape measure. And part of it is that British houses are full of walls you are not free to drill.

How to choose handymen in Belfast
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
Picture hanging permits in Northern Ireland
Some picture hanging work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Northern Ireland
Consumer protection
Ask for the Certificate of Completion at the end of the job. Building Control issues it once it is satisfied that all necessary Building Regulations have been adhered to, and it is the document that shows the work was signed off.

Common picture hanging questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
