8 common handyman jobs in the office

Office fixes and installation

A neat and organised office can help increase productivity and improve the working environment. Here's a guide to the typical office jobs we at Pandy help our business customers with, all to create a better and more pleasant working environment.

1. Hanging pictures

Just like in a home, pictures express your office's personality. What feelings do you want your colleagues and guests to have when they step into your premises? This can affect mood as well as concentration. Once you've chosen your style, we make sure everything hangs straight and securely using tools such as a hammer drill, a laser and spirit levels.

2. Carrying help

We like to say "move with Pandy, not with your back", and carrying help comes in all shapes and weights – not least at workplaces. It can be anything from a heavy delivery that needs to come up from the street to desks or other furniture that needs moving around, and we're ready with professional help so work-related injuries are avoided.

3. Mounting a company sign

Make it official – are you really a proper company without your own logo mounted on the office wall? Jokes aside, it gives your office a professional first impression when you have visitors, which in turn also boosts morale in the office. There are many types of company signs, for example neon signs, polystyrene signs, facade signs and brass.

4. TV mounting

TVs are often used in offices to show presentations, videos or news. It's important that the TV is properly mounted on a wall that can carry it, so it doesn't fall down. It's also important to choose the right height and placement for the TV so it's easy to see and not distracting.

5. Hanging mirrors

We thought we'd actually skip pictures and go straight to mirrors, which in office environments give the illusion of a larger space while making the office look more stylish. When it comes to mirrors, it's important to choose the right fixing to make sure the mirror doesn't fall and cause damage. Nobody wants seven years of bad luck! The placement of the mirror should also be well thought out to be as effective as possible, and of course we mount the mirrors straight.

6. Mounting shelves

Shelves are useful for organising things in the office and creating more space. Shelves are also a stylish interior detail that you can dress up with plants, vases, frames and other bits and pieces. Here too, it's important to choose the right fixing depending on the shelf's weight and size. The placement and mounting of the shelf should also be strategically planned for the best use. Straight, symmetrical and neat, of course.

7. Mounting whiteboards

Whiteboards are something we put up almost every day at various workplaces. They're a common tool in almost every office, and it's important that they're mounted correctly. Incorrect mounting can cause whiteboards to fall and injure people or damage property. It's also important to choose the right type of fixing depending on the type of whiteboard and how heavy it is.

8. Furniture assembly

Furniture is an important part of the office environment, and it's important that it's assembled correctly to ensure both safety and functionality. Incorrect assembly can lead to damage or even accidents in the office. That's why it's important to hire professional handymen with experience of assembling furniture. Some people think assembling furniture is fun, but let your employees focus on their work instead.

Conclusion

A well-organised working environment can help improve productivity and increase well-being in the office. It's important to consider safety, functionality and design when deciding on fixes for the office. Always hire professional handymen to get correct and safe installation.
