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.

Wall Repairs, Shelf Installation & Painting in Office

£500

St Luke's, Greater London

10th Mar 2025

We’re looking for an experienced builder/decorator to complete some work in our office. Scope of Work: ✅ Wall Repairs – Fill and tidy up drill holes in a partition wall where a wooden plank was previously mounted for a TV. ✅ Socket Removal – Remove a dual power socket, dual ethernet, and HDMI slot from the middle of a wall (please advise if terminating power cables is a complex job). ✅ Shelf Installation – Install two shelves on a very hard wall (previous attempts with a standard drill failed, so an SDS drill or similar is likely needed). ✅ Painting a Small Room – Prepare and paint an 11m² room (walls may need some prep). Timing & Access: 🕘 Work will need to take place over multiple days to allow for wall filling and drying before painting. 📍 Office near Old St, London 🚪 Access available 9 AM – 5 PM (limited availability outside these hours). Requirements: • Must have own tools, including a powerful drill (SDS or equivalent for shelf installation). • Experience with wall repair, decorating, and electrical work (if required for socket removal). • Able to complete work neatly and professionally in an office environment. Budget is a guide—please quote based on expected time and materials.

Working with Jason was great; he was very responsive, consulted well and did a great job on the decorating work we needed done. Would use again!

Shelf hanging on concrete walls

£150

Stoke Newington, Greater London, N16

2nd Feb 2025

I’ve got loads of shelves I need to be hung up. The walls are all brick / concrete. So you’ll need to have a proper drill with the correct drill bit. I have some extra screws and wall plugs, but if you have good quality ones, specific to concrete walls / shelf hanging, please bring those. I also have a few mirrors and wall hangings that need to be put up. Also will need help hanging rods / rails for hanging clothes. Please bring a ladder as well. This will probably take a good 3 hours min I’m thinking.

Mount shelves and a drawer for a bookcase

£70

Brixton, Greater London, SW9

10th Nov 2024

We have a made-to-measure bookcase that we are looking to fit into the alcove in our flat. The drawers have been assembled already, so it’s a couple of final steps there + the floating shelves and the top drawer that need mounting. The bottom drawer needs to just slide into the alcove, which requires temporarily removing a part of the doorframe next to it, and re-attaching it after.

Deon did a fantastic job for me. Not only was his work of excellent quality, he also suggested ways to improve the installation which I appreciated very much. He was very professional, being quick to respond to messages, arriving promptly, clearly explained what the job would entail and was neat and tidy. Deon was very friendly and I felt comfortable having him working in my house. He exceeded my expectations and I will hire Deon again in future

Need two 120cm shelves brackets installed on a wall that seems to be part cavity wall part masonry wall - the wall itself isn’t perfectly level and won’t sit flush with the shelves due to their length. Each shelf has two metal brackets either side.

Quick, professional and a good job!
