Overview
This page prices TV mounting for Penge SE20 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 24% privately rented and 8,101 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Detector sweep for cables and pipes, then a substrate test so the fixing matches the wall rather than the other way round.
Step 2
We set the centre of the screen to seated eye level and mark it before drilling anything.
Step 3
Anchors chosen for the wall type and torqued, with a load check before the screen goes anywhere near it.
Step 4
Two-person lift on anything over 43 inches, then levelled and the tilt set.
Step 5
Cables trunked, sleeved or chased if quoted, inputs tested and the packaging taken away.
Why choose us
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE20, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 8,101 households inside the SE20 neighbourhood.
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for.
One fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell. Steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Penge East (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 42" on a solid wall | £75 | 45–60 min | Brick or block takes a straightforward fixing; the time is levelling and cable dressing. |
| 43"–65" on a solid wall | £95 | 1–1.5 hrs | Two-person lift and a heavier bracket with resin or sleeve anchors rated for the screen. |
| 66"+ or a full-motion arm | £140 | 1.5–2 hrs | Cantilever arms multiply the pull-out load, so the fixing pattern and substrate check take longer. |
| Dot-and-dab or stud wall | £120 | 1.5–2 hrs | The plasterboard carries nothing: we locate studs or fit through-fixings to the masonry behind the void. |
| Cables chased into the wall | £90 | +1–2 hrs | Chasing, back boxes and making good is a separate trade task from hanging the screen. |
| Soundbar, shelf or console added | £35 | +20–30 min | A second fixing line that has to sit level with the screen and hide its own cabling. |

Scope
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.

Adam the handy man then came to fix my wardrobe sliding door, which were jammed and came off the ledge… Read in full →

Working in Penge
Census 2021 puts Penge at 8,101 households with a median age of 37.3. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 40% houses and 60% flats need different handling in SE20.
Private renting sits at 24% and owner-occupation at 43%; the first group books TV mounting at short notice, the second plans it.
Penge substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE20, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 8,101 households inside the SE20 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SE20 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Penge: victorian terraces and almshouses below Crystal Palace, with a reviving high street. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Penge is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays. Nearest station is Penge East (Southeastern), and one fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell.

Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Penge in this 60% flats neighbourhood — and 35% one-person households here, with The Watermen's Almshouses a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Screen size and wall type set the price. Dot-and-dab, stud and thin modern partitions cost more than brick because the fixing has to reach something structural across SE20, with 33% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes. In Penge the walls we usually meet are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does on the streets near The Watermen's Almshouses — and 40% of Penge homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory, so we locate the studs or use through-fixings into the masonry behind the board. The plasterboard itself never carries the screen, whatever the bracket packaging claims across SE20.
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in SE20 takes 45–60 minutes for Penge (SE20) addresses. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on the Penge rounds — and this being London Borough of Bromley territory, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, and a full-motion arm or a dot-and-dab wall pushes it to two hours because the fixing pattern has to reach something structural.
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen across SE20, with this being a short walk from Penge East (Southeastern). In leasehold flats across Penge we check the lease first; many London Borough of Bromley blocks require consent before a wall is cut on this side of Bromley, with 43% owner-occupation locally.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours on SE20 jobs, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Penge sits close to Penge East (Southeastern), with 35% one-person households here, so we can usually add a SE20 job to an existing Bromley round at short notice on this side of Bromley.
Steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays across SE20. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bromley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the Penge rounds — and 35% one-person households here, with 60% of homes here being flats.
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on for Penge (SE20) addresses, with 43% owner-occupation locally — and Bromley parking rules in play, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Bromley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Penge, with this being a short walk from Penge East (Southeastern).
