Overview
TV mounting in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained
TV mounting in Shortlands and Hayes BR2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them mainly Edwardian. 3,676 households sit inside this BR2 patch, 52% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hayes Common rather than a London average.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Shortlands and Hayes
Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — measured on the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Wall check
Detector sweep for cables and pipes, then a substrate test so the fixing matches the wall rather than the other way round.
Step 2
Height and eye-line
We set the centre of the screen to seated eye level and mark it before drilling anything.
Step 3
Bracket fixed
Anchors chosen for the wall type and torqued, with a load check before the screen goes anywhere near it.
Step 4
Screen hung and levelled
Two-person lift on anything over 43 inches, then levelled and the tilt set.
Step 5
Cables and clear-up
Cables trunked, sleeved or chased if quoted, inputs tested and the packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Shortlands and Hayes customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Shortlands and Hayes, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 69% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Insured and documented
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.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Shortlands and Hayes
Fixed prices for BR2 and the rest of Bromley. 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.
| 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
What's included in Shortlands and Hayes
The same scope across BR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, with 3,676 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, checked on every BR2 visit
- In Shortlands and Hayes: screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, sized for the driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak
- On BR2 jobs: cardboard and packaging taken away, TV mounting london included
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, which we refer on to the right trade in Shortlands and Hayes
- Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent, outside the fixed price on Shortlands and Hayes bookings

Working in Shortlands and Hayes
Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
In Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) the split is 52% flats to 48% houses over 3,676 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 24% of Shortlands and Hayes is privately rented and 7% socially rented, a lot of BR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Shortlands and Hayes, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in BR2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 69% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Shortlands and Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby — which is why a BR2 quote is not a Bromley average.
On access, driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak — one reason one fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Shortlands (Southeastern).

Common questions
TV mounting in Shortlands and Hayes BR2 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Shortlands and Hayes BR2?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Shortlands and Hayes around Shortlands (Southeastern), with 52% of homes here being flats — and 69% owner-occupation locally, 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 this side of Bromley, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Shortlands and Hayes BR2?
Yes. In Shortlands and Hayes the walls we usually meet are lath and plaster over timber studs in Shortlands and Hayes in this 52% flats neighbourhood, with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 69% owner-occupation locally, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded — and 52% of homes here being flats, 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 this side of Bromley.
How long does TV mounting take in Shortlands and Hayes?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in BR2 takes 45–60 minutes on BR2 jobs. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes around Shortlands (Southeastern), with 33% one-person households here — and 69% owner-occupation locally, 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.
Do you chase cables into the wall in Bromley?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on BR2 jobs, with 33% one-person households here. In leasehold flats across Shortlands and Hayes we check the lease first; many London Borough of Bromley blocks require consent before a wall is cut on the Shortlands and Hayes rounds, with 3,676 households on this patch.
Do you handle difficult access in Shortlands and Hayes?
Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak around Shortlands (Southeastern). 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 in Shortlands and Hayes — and 7% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Shortlands (Southeastern).
Are your fitters insured for work in BR2?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on on BR2 jobs, with 33% one-person households here — and Hayes Common a few streets away, 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 on the Shortlands and Hayes rounds, with 7% social-rented stock nearby.
What is not included in TV mounting in Shortlands and Hayes?
Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer; New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work; Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent on the streets near Hayes Common — and 24% of BR2 homes being privately rented, with 52% of homes here being flats. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Shortlands and Hayes BR2 price you agree is the price you pay across BR2, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory.
