TV mounting across all ten boroughs
TV mounting in Greater Manchester is carried out by insured, DBS-checked tradespeople who arrive with the tools, fixings and ladder already on the van. Fixed, tilt and full-motion brackets set dead level on the right anchor for the wall, with power and HDMI run out of sight and the screen tested before we leave.
Manchester's housing runs from Ancoats mill conversions with solid brick and cast iron to Wigan and Bolton terraces, inter-war semis in Sale and Prestwich and dot-and-dab new builds around the Quays — and tV mounting is a different job in each of them. Every area page below sets out the local wall build-up, the access and the realistic timings, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Booking is by the visit and priced on screen size, bracket type and whether cables are being concealed, agreed in writing before anyone travels. A standard mount is under an hour; a chimney breast with concealed cabling is closer to three.
What tv wall mounting is like across Greater Manchester
Pricing is set by screen size, bracket type and whether cables are being concealed, not by an hourly meter, so the number you agree is the number you pay. A standard mount is under an hour; a chimney breast with concealed cabling is closer to three.
Three things move a tV mounting visit — what the wall is made of, how level the floor is and where the van can legally stand. City-centre blocks need a booked lift and resin-free board fixings; older terraces need a permit and a carry from the bay. a 55-inch screen on the wrong fixing is the single most expensive handyman mistake there is — and dot-and-dab plasterboard hides it until the day it lets go
How tv mounting works
- Step 1
Wall check first
We scan for cables, pipes and studs, test the substrate with a discreet pilot and confirm the wall will carry the screen before anything is committed.
- Step 2
Bracket set level
The bracket is marked from a long level, anchored to suit the wall behind — resin into old brick, spring toggles or block-depth screws into dot-and-dab — and pull-tested.
- Step 3
Screen up, cables gone
The screen is lifted on (two people over 65in), tilted to your seating height, cables routed out of sight and the sources tested before we tidy up.
Before the visit
- Tell us the screen size and whether you already have a bracket
- Decide the height — screen centre roughly at seated eye level
- Say if you want cables concealed or surface trunking is fine
- Flag a chimney breast, boxed pipework or an external wall
Worth knowing
- Concealing power needs an existing socket behind or near the screen
- Full-motion brackets need deeper anchors and more wall than fixed ones
- Plasterboard alone will not carry a large screen — we find the structure behind
- We can move an existing mounted TV to another wall and make good
What is included in every Greater Manchester visit
- Cable and pipe scan before a single hole is drilled
- Correct anchor for the substrate — resin, toggle or masonry, never the box plug
- Bracket levelled with a long spirit level, not a phone app
- Cables tidied and the screen tested with your source
- Dust sheeted and vacuumed before we leave
- Screens from 32in to 98in on fixed, tilting and full-motion brackets
- Brick, block, concrete, stud and dot-and-dab plasterboard, each with its own anchor
- Chimney-breast mounting with a cable route that avoids the flue liner
- Cables concealed in trunking, chased into plasterboard or run behind the wall with brush plates
- Soundbar brackets, shelves and media units fitted at the same time
- Screen levelled, tilted to the seating position, sources connected and tested
Why Greater Manchester books us for tv wall mounting
The same vetted trade team, the same written price and the same guarantee in every borough — from Wigan and Bolton through to Stockport and Tameside. a 55-inch screen on the wrong fixing is the single most expensive handyman mistake there is — and dot-and-dab plasterboard hides it until the day it lets go
Right anchor, every time
Resin studs for old brick, block-depth fixings through a dabbed void, structural noggins on stud — the fixing is chosen for the wall, not for convenience.
Nothing drilled blind
Cable and pipe detection is standard, so nothing behind the plaster gets a surprise.
Cables actually hidden
Brush plates and in-wall routing where it is safe and legal; neat trunking colour-matched where it is not.
TV mounting prices in Greater Manchester
Fixed bands, quoted before we start. What moves the price is access, stair turns, parking distance and the size of the job — not the postcode you live in.
| Package | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 43in, cables surface-run | Bracket fitted, screen mounted, levelled and tested. | from £69 |
| 44–65in, tilt or full-motion | Heavier bracket, correct anchors and tilt set to your seating. | from £99 |

| Mount plus concealed cabling | Power and HDMI hidden behind the wall with brush plates. | from £169 |
Includes the fixings, levelling, cable tidy and testing. Brackets can be supplied on request and quoted separately. New socket installation behind the screen is referred to a registered electrician — we fit the brush plate and route the existing lead.

About Greater Manchester
Ten boroughs, about 2.9 million residents and no single way of building a wall. For tV mounting that means a Rochdale terrace, a Sale semi and a Deansgate apartment each get a different anchor, a different tool and a different time allowance.
Which of those you live in changes the tV mounting method entirely: the anchor, the drill setting, the dust control and the realistic visit length. Every area page below sets out the wall types, access and parking rules for that specific place.

TV mounting in Greater Manchester — your questions
Can you mount a TV on a plasterboard wall?
Yes, but rarely on the board itself. We locate the studs or, on dot-and-dab, use fixings long enough to pull on the blockwork behind the void so the load is carried by masonry.
Can you hide the cables in the wall?
Power and HDMI can be routed behind plasterboard using brush plates. Mains cable cannot simply be buried on a masonry wall without a registered electrician, so we route the existing lead safely and neatly instead.
Do you supply the bracket?
We can. Tell us the screen model and we will bring a bracket rated well above its weight, quoted up front. If you already have one, we will check it is suitable before fitting.
How much is tV mounting in Greater Manchester?
Up to 43in, cables surface-run starts at from £69 and mount plus concealed cabling is from £169. Prices are the same in all ten boroughs — screen size, bracket type and whether cables are being concealed is what changes the figure, not the postcode.
Which parts of Greater Manchester do you cover?
All ten boroughs and 115 named areas, from Manchester city centre and Salford Quays out to Bolton, Wigan, Rochdale, Stockport and the Tameside edge. Each area has its own page with local wall types, access notes and timings.
How quickly can you come out?
Most bookings are offered a same or next-day slot, with a written fixed price back within a few hours of your enquiry. Weekend and evening visits carry no surcharge.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes. It is agreed in writing before anyone travels. If the job on site turns out to be different from the one described, we tell you before starting and agree any change — we never present a surprise at the end.
