3M Removable Utility Hooks with Command鈩?Adhesive are what you seem to be seeking, the hercules hooks still make a hole, best way will always be nails or screws and anchors. I've rented and if the walls are flat white you can easily fill/hide the holes from nails and picture hangers with lightweight plaster and your finger. Shelves almost have to be installed with screws and/or anchors as they need the strength and dependability. Any adhesives are going to ruin paint and finishes when removed, but do offer a fastener free application.Are there any products i can use to put shelves and pictures up without screws or nails (UK)?
If you imagine how much weight a shelf has to carry, I don't think you're likely to find anything that doesn't leave a hole. It's just a case of how big the hole will be and whether you can hide it.


When people rent you a flat, they can't expect you not to leave some sort of holes in the wall. As long as you fill them when you move, they can't complain.
Hi.


Pictures YES.


Shelves. NO





There are various picture hooks now that do not show when they are removed. Some are a combination of very small pins, which you can tap in with a light weight hammer and which are quite strong, through to something as simple as blu-tack.


Shelves is a bit more difficult. Simplest is to buy a free standing 'bookcase' type unit. You can take it with you easily to the next flat. Buy a reasonable one pine bookcase, not the cheapest, and you'll have it for life. Believe me, they are never out of use. If you can't use it in your house when you are older, you'll use it in a garage.





Take care.
Just a comment about 'No More Nails' which is being widely recommended to you. This IS a very good product - BUT - it is only as good as what you are sticking it to! We stuck Dado rails onto an emulsioned wall at work as a guide for a blind chap. What we did not know was that the Vinyl emulsion on the walls had been painted over Gloss paint. the Dado's came down quite quickly, complete with a strip of the emulsion coat they were stuck to!





As it is a fiver or so a tube any way, I would be more inclined to buy a cheap flat pack free standing shelving unit.
Use - NO MORE NAILS. When this is applied correctly and with a bit of forethought, it virtually sticks anything to anything.





You could sand it off after you no longer need it, then emulsion over the dry marks.
That was for hanging pictures, not putting up shelves!





Edit:


Yes, I can read, which is why I said the product that you recall is for hanging pictures, not putting up shelves! *sigh*
Most DIY shops sell stick-on picture hooks. They stick to painted walls or vinyl wallcovering. Don't use them on papered walls or your pictures will fall off and tear the paper.
Floor standing shelves. Those products advertised are brilliant as long as you don't put anything on those shelves.
My friend had hooks with double sided tape that had this cool tab you pulled when you want to remove them and it takes away any trace of it. No idea what they're called.
Jedi Knight's got it right- the product you'd have saw advertised on TV is called 'No More Nails'. It's one of those 'that does exactly as it says on the tin'!
Glue or adhesive like ';No More Nails';





If using it don't put anything heavy on the shelves.
Yes, I use hercuhooks and they are great. They look like a long curved hook and hold quite well. And, they only leave a pin size hole in your wall.
no nails it comes in a tube and you can buy it in most hardware shops and DIY outlets. lol
blu tack ha ha
