Overview
This page prices TV mounting for Petts Wood BR5 specifically: inter-war stock, 8% privately rented and 2,972 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 timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in BR5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
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. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 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.

Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Petts Wood, with The Willett Memorial Wood 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 on BR5 jobs, with 2% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes. In Petts Wood the walls we usually meet are timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on this side of Bromley, with 2,972 households on this patch — and this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), 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 on BR5 jobs.
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in BR5 takes 45–60 minutes around Petts Wood (Southeastern). A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on BR5 jobs — and The Willett Memorial Wood a few streets away, with this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), 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.

Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays in Petts Wood. 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 for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses — and 92% of Petts Wood homes being houses, with 8% of homes here being flats.
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on around Petts Wood (Southeastern), with 2,972 households on this patch — and this being London Borough of Bromley territory, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for.
