London pricing

London TV mounting prices.

Fixed per-television prices with the bracket fitted, the set levelled and the picture checked. London rates carry ULEZ, the Congestion Charge in the central boroughs and the parking cost of a job that has to stop directly outside.
  • Up to 42 inches, fixed bracket

    £85 · 45–60 min

    Includes the wall survey — we check the substrate before drilling rather than after.

  • 43–65 inches, tilt or full-motion

    £110 · 60–90 min

    Full-motion arms multiply the load at the fixing, so masonry or stud anchoring is required, not plasterboard plugs.

  • 66–85 inches

    £145 · 90–120 min

    Two-person lift as standard — the London default is a first-floor flat reached by a half-turn staircase.

  • Cable concealment in trunking

    £35 · +30 min

    The lease-safe option in a flat where chasing the wall would need freeholder consent.

  • Cables chased into the wall

    £95 · +90 min

    Plaster made good and left ready to paint. Not offered on party walls where the lease forbids it.

Domestic prices are the total you pay. Commercial and landlord invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. ULEZ, the Congestion Charge where it applies, permits and bay suspensions are itemised in the written quote, never added afterwards.

Working in London

What the wall behind your TV is really made of.

London housing stock spans 150 years, and the fixing changes with it. Getting this wrong is how televisions end up on the floor.

Lath and plaster in the conversions

A Victorian or Edwardian conversion in Islington, Hackney, Camden, Lambeth or Wandsworth typically has lath-and-plaster internal walls: thin timber laths with lime plaster pushed through them. There is nothing there to hold a 30kg cantilever.

The bracket goes into the timber studs, located with a joist detector and confirmed with a fine pilot, or resin-anchored into the brick behind where the wall is a solid party wall. We say which before we drill.

Dot-and-dab in the newer blocks

Flats built from the 1980s onward across Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Newham and the Nine Elms corridor are usually plasterboard on adhesive dabs, leaving a 20–30mm cavity. A standard plug spins in the void and the bracket sags within weeks.

These need a fixing designed to bridge the cavity into the blockwork behind, torqued rather than over-tightened, which is what stops the plasterboard crushing.

Leases, party walls and chimney breasts

Many London leases restrict drilling into a party wall or chasing cables through it. Where that applies we mount on trunking rather than chasing, which is reversible and keeps you inside the lease.

Chimney breasts are common in period flats and are frequently the only wall a room's layout allows. Old breasts can be soft brick behind the plaster, so we test-drill and switch to a resin anchor if the grip is not right.

Parking, access and tidy-up

A TV mount is a short visit, so we buy a visitor permit where the street is a CPZ rather than asking you to arrange anything. On a red route we work to the loading window. Both are quoted before the day.

We dust-sheet, use extraction while drilling, remove any old bracket, fill and make good the redundant holes, and take the packaging away if the set is new.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

  • How much does TV wall mounting cost in London?

    £85 for a set up to 42 inches, £110 for 43 to 65 inches on a tilt or full-motion arm, and £145 for 66 to 85 inches with a two-person lift. Cable trunking is £35 and chasing cables into the wall is £95. ULEZ, the Congestion Charge where it applies and a visitor parking permit are all inside the price.

  • Can you mount a TV on a lath-and-plaster wall?

    Yes. The bracket is fixed into the timber studs or resin-anchored into the brick behind — never into the plaster itself. We locate the studs with a detector and a fine pilot hole before the bracket goes anywhere near the wall.

  • What about a dot-and-dab wall in a new-build flat?

    We use fixings designed to bridge the 20–30mm void into the blockwork behind and torque them correctly so the plasterboard is not crushed. A standard plasterboard plug is not safe for a television and we will not use one.

  • Can you hide the cables?

    Two ways. Trunking, painted to match, at £35 — reversible and safe for a lease that restricts work to a party wall. Or chased into the wall at £95, with the plaster made good and left ready for paint.

  • Do you bring the bracket?

    We can supply one matched to your screen's VESA pattern and weight, or fit the bracket you already have. Tell us the make, model and screen size at booking and we confirm what is needed.

  • Will you take the old bracket off and make the wall good?

    Yes. The old bracket comes off, the redundant holes are filled and sanded flush ready for paint, and the packaging leaves with us if the television is new.
