TV Wall Mounting Cost in London

TV size drives the load on the wall — and the load drives the procedure. For TVs up to 55", a single secure fixing pattern handles the weight comfortably. From 65" upwards, we calculate the weight distribution across the bracket arms, locate studs or use cavity fixings rated well above the TV's static load, and add a second pair of hands for the lift itself — never a one-person job at that size. Years of installs across every common bracket pattern mean we know which fixings hold what, on which wall, at which size. You can lift with us, or we can bring a second installer — either way, the safety procedure stays the same.

Wall type sets the entire fixing strategy. On brick or concrete, we drill through the plaster, sleeve into solid masonry, and the load goes straight into the structure. On plasterboard, the procedure is different: we use a stud finder to locate timber wherever possible, fix straight into it, and for any fixings landing in the cavity we use heavy-duty cavity anchors rated above the TV's weight. Chimney breasts get checked for hollow-wall sections and brick condition before any drilling. Dot-and-dab needs longer fixings to reach the masonry behind the air gap. Every wall gets a tap-test, a stud check and a load assessment before the first hole — that's the procedure backed by City & Guilds Level 3 training and years of doing this on every wall type London homes throw at us.

The bracket is what actually carries the TV — choosing the right one matters. Flat brackets sit closest to the wall, distribute load evenly across all four fixings, and are the most reliable choice for any TV size. Tilt brackets add a downward angle, useful when mounting above eye level. Full-motion brackets swing and rotate, which puts more leverage on the fixings and demands a stronger wall and a more careful weight calculation — fine on brick, more involved on plasterboard. We carry the right brackets for every TV size up to 85" and bring them on the day; if you have your own, we check it's rated for your TV's VESA pattern and weight before fitting. The advice is grounded in years of installs across thousands of TVs.

Cable management is purely a finish choice — the install behind it is the same. Tucking cables behind the TV is the simplest option. Surface trunking runs cables inside a low-profile conduit along the wall — works on any wall type, paint-able to match. Behind-wall concealment is plasterboard-only: we cut neat access points, route cables through the cavity using fish-tape, and patch the openings cleanly. The procedure varies by cable type — low-voltage HDMI/coax can run in the cavity directly, but mains routing follows BS 7671 wiring regulations. We explain the right option for your wall and your wiring before you commit.

Occasionally a wall behaves differently to what was described — a cavity where solid was expected, a hollow chimney breast section, old fixings left buried, a rotten timber stud, or signs the wall needs reinforcement before it can safely take the load. Spotting these takes experience: a tap-test, a careful first pilot hole, and reading the wall properly before committing. When we find something, we stop, explain what we've found and why it changes the approach, and agree the next step before doing anything else. Nothing gets added to your bill without your approval — and nothing gets drilled until we're confident the wall will safely hold your TV for the long term.

Once the TV is mounted, many customers want to go further — a longer HDMI run, additional trunking, a soundbar fitted underneath, a floating shelf for a Sky box or console, or LED backlighting for a cinema feel. We carry the common kit on the van and can usually fit add-ons in the same visit, following the same fixing and safety procedure as the main install. You're never committed upfront — decide on the day, and we'll quote and confirm before starting.
