Studs, masonry, brick veneer and a sheeted-over cavity all need different anchors, and the difference between them is the difference between a shelf that holds and a shelf that comes off the wall with the contents on it. ## Recent work - [ After ](#ph-p006) Hardwood corner shelving built into a pantry, five levels carried on cleats and a central upright. The finished pantry shelving from the doorway, timber shelves stepping around the corner. Three dark timber shelves fixed across a painted brick alcove beside the back door. The same brick alcove before the shelves went in, bare and unlined. White-painted built-in shelving fitted into a recess, four fixed shelves. The linen cupboard before the work: mouldy lining, swollen shelf edges and broken plaster on the floor. After. The new shelves in the linen cupboard, seen from the doorway. After. An outdoor storage cupboard with louvre doors, shelved out and in use. ## Questions we get asked ### Will the shelves hold what I want to put on them? That depends on the wall and anchor used to attach the shelf. Keep in mind, the span matters as much as the fixing — a long shelf with no centre support will bow under weight no matter how well the ends are held. ### My cupboard shelves are mouldy and sagging. Is that a shelving job? Partly. The shelves are the easy half. The reason they have sagged is probably due to moisture, and if that is not dealt with the new ones will do the same. If the wall lining behind the shelves has failed, that has to be sorted before new shelves go in — and plaster work will most likely also be needed. ### Can you build shelving to fit an odd space? Yes, this is a very common job. Alcoves, corners, under-stair spaces and pantries are rarely square, and off-the-shelf units are made for rooms that are. ### What finish do the shelves come in? Raw, or primed ready for a painter. The pantry shelving shown on this page was left in raw hardwood because that suited the room. ### How is the shelf fixed to the wall? Into whatever is actually behind the plasterboard — studs where there are studs, into brick if there is brick. ## Related home repairs & maintenance - [Tile repairs & regrouting](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/tiling-and-regrouting/) - [TV, picture & mirror mounting](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/tv-picture-and-mirror-mounting/) - [Roller & garage door repairs](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/roller-and-garage-door-repairs/) - [Carpentry — general](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/carpentry-general/) - [Door adjustment & re-hang](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/door-adjustment-and-re-hang/) - [Window winders, stays & locks](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/window-winders-stays-and-locks/) - [Shower resealing, silicone & caulking](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/shower-resealing-and-silicone/) - [Fence repairs & paling replacement](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/fence-repairs-and-paling-replacement/) ## Other regular jobs we do - Sliding door rollers & tracks - Door locks, handles and hardware - Flyscreen repair & rescreening - Gate re-hang & sagging gate - Gate hardware & latches - Floorboard repairs - Door frame & jamb repair - Cabinet doors, drawers & runners - Handrail & step repairs - Weatherboard & cladding patch repairs - Door closers - Security screen repair - Letterboxes, clotheslines, house numbers - Pet doors - Skirting & architrave repair - Flat pack and furniture assembly - Grab rails & access ramps [All home repairs & maintenance →](https://handyg.com.au/services/residential/) ## Where we do this From Tallai, across 89 suburbs of the Gold Coast and hinterland.
