Overview
TV mounting in Kentish Town NW5, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Kentish Town, TV mounting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 86% of Kentish Town's 7,587 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Kentish Town
Five steps, the same on every NW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Kentish Town stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Kentish Town customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kentish Town wall.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kentish Town walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Kentish Town, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Kentish Town
Fixed prices for NW5 and the rest of Camden. 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 Kentish Town
The same scope across NW5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On NW5 jobs: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, agreed on the doorstep in Kentish Town before anything is unpacked
- In Kentish Town: fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, timed against the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink)
- Screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, noted on the Kentish Town job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Camden bookings: cardboard and packaging taken away, allowing for the 24% of NW5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW5
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, which we refer on to the right trade in Kentish Town
- Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent, handled by London Borough of Camden or a specialist contractor instead

Working in Kentish Town
Kentish Town NW5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kentish Town — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
The NW5 stock around The O2 Forum Kentish Town is mainly Victorian. ONS records 86% flats, 14% houses and 7,587 households in Kentish Town.
24% of households rent privately and 26% own, which is why TV mounting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Kentish Town is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Kentish Town, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Anyone who knows Kentish Town knows the pattern near The O2 Forum Kentish Town: working high street, Victorian terraces and the Forum's gig traffic. We plan the NW5 visit around it. Kentish Town sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. Nearest station is Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), and one fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell.

Common questions
TV mounting in Kentish Town NW5 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Kentish Town NW5?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Kentish Town on the Kentish Town rounds, with 49% social-rented stock nearby — and 26% 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 the streets near The O2 Forum Kentish Town, with The O2 Forum Kentish Town a few streets away.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Kentish Town NW5?
Yes. In Kentish Town the walls we usually meet are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map on the Kentish Town rounds, with 14% of Kentish Town homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), 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 for Kentish Town (NW5) addresses.
How long does TV mounting take in Kentish Town?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in NW5 takes 45–60 minutes on Camden bookings. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes in this 86% flats neighbourhood — and 14% of Kentish Town homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), 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 Camden?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on NW5 jobs, with The O2 Forum Kentish Town a few streets away. In leasehold flats across Kentish Town we check the lease first; many London Borough of Camden blocks require consent before a wall is cut around Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), with 24% of NW5 homes being privately rented.
Is same-day or evening TV mounting available in Camden?
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours in this 86% flats neighbourhood, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Kentish Town sits close to Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) on this side of Camden, with this being London Borough of Camden territory, so we can usually add a NW5 job to an existing Camden round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Kentish Town?
Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access on Camden bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Camden it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Kentish Town — and 86% of homes here being flats, with 24% of NW5 homes being privately rented.
Are your fitters insured for work in NW5?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on in this 86% flats neighbourhood — and 26% owner-occupation locally, with 36% one-person households here, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Camden letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Kentish Town (NW5) addresses, with 7,587 households on this patch.
