Drilling and fixing
Of all the repair jobs I do the most often by far is re-attaching things that have come off.
You name it…collapsed shelves, hinges off doors, towels rail, loo roll holders…. and so many more. The reason is usually they haven’t been put on right in the first place. To make a proper job you need to be clear on:

·
WHAT ARE YOU FIXING ONTO eg BRICK, PLASTERBOARD, WOOD ?
· HOW HEAVY IS THE THING YOU WANT TO ATTACH ?


It’s only then you can choose the most appropriate method. The trick is to match the the wall fixing, screw size and drill bit
