Overview
TV mounting in Aldgate EC3, explained
TV mounting in Aldgate EC3 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them post-war. 4,914 households sit inside this EC3 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe rather than a London average.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Aldgate
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Aldgate stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe 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 Aldgate customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Aldgate wall.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Aldgate walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Aldgate
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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 Aldgate
The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On EC3 jobs: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, with 98% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Aldgate: fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, the way it is done on Aldgate jobs
- Screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve — including local TV mounting
- Standard on City of London bookings: cardboard and packaging taken away, arranged with City of London Corporation where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, and we will say so before the EC3 visit rather than on the day
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, outside the fixed price on Aldgate bookings
- Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC3

The EC3 stock around The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe is post-war. ONS records 98% flats, 2% houses and 4,914 households in Aldgate.
48% of households rent privately and 37% own, which is why TV mounting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Aldgate substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 48% 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 short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a EC3 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Aldgate knows the pattern near The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe: eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street. We plan the EC3 visit around it. Aldgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, 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 Aldgate EC3 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Aldgate EC3?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Aldgate, with this being City of London Corporation territory — and 51% one-person households here, 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 4,914 households on this patch.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Aldgate EC3?
Yes. In Aldgate the walls we usually meet are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate for Aldgate (EC3) addresses — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe a few streets away, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood.
How long does TV mounting take in Aldgate?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in EC3 takes 45–60 minutes for Aldgate (EC3) addresses. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes in Aldgate — and this being a short walk from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), with 15% social-rented stock nearby, 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 City of London?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on City of London bookings, with this being City of London Corporation territory. In leasehold flats across Aldgate we check the lease first; many City of London Corporation blocks require consent before a wall is cut on the Aldgate rounds, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Is same-day or evening TV mounting available in City of London?
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours on the Aldgate rounds, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Aldgate sits close to Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), with 15% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a EC3 job to an existing City of London round at short notice on City of London bookings.
Do you handle difficult access in Aldgate?
Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking on City of London bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in City of London Corporation it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the Aldgate rounds, with 51% one-person households here.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC3?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on on EC3 jobs, with this being a short walk from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) — and 2% of Aldgate homes being houses, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Aldgate rounds, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented.
