Overview
TV mounting in Clerkenwell EC1, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Farringdon, TV mounting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 94% of Clerkenwell's 5,170 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Clerkenwell
Five steps, the same on every EC1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Clerkenwell stock goes, which is what a 94% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Clerkenwell actually produces 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 Clerkenwell customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Clerkenwell wall.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a EC1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Clerkenwell walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in EC1, 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 — the pattern behind 5,170 households inside the EC1 neighbourhood.
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 Clerkenwell
Fixed prices for EC1 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 Clerkenwell
The same scope across EC1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On EC1 jobs: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, agreed on the doorstep in Clerkenwell before anything is unpacked
- In Clerkenwell: fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, timed against the walk in from Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink)
- Screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, noted on the Clerkenwell job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on City of London bookings: cardboard and packaging taken away, allowing for the 36% of EC1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, outside the fixed price on Clerkenwell bookings
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC1
- Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent, which we refer on to the right trade in Clerkenwell

Clerkenwell EC1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Clerkenwell — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
The EC1 stock around The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 94% flats, 6% houses and 5,170 households in Clerkenwell.
Private renting sits at 36% and owner-occupation at 25%; the first group books TV mounting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Clerkenwell 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 — the pattern behind 5,170 households inside the EC1 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Clerkenwell knows the pattern near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market: design studios, Italian delis and Georgian squares on the City's north-west edge. We plan the EC1 visit around it. Clerkenwell 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: narrow one-way streets, seven-day controlled bays and warehouse lofts up several flights of stairs. Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink) 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 Clerkenwell EC1 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Clerkenwell EC1?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Clerkenwell on the streets near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market — and 41% one-person households here, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood, 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 Clerkenwell rounds, with 41% one-person households here.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Clerkenwell EC1?
Yes. In Clerkenwell the walls we usually meet are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here across EC1, with The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market a few streets away — and this being a short walk from Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, 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 on the Clerkenwell rounds.
How long does TV mounting take in Clerkenwell?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in EC1 takes 45–60 minutes in Clerkenwell. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes around Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with 36% of EC1 homes being privately rented — and 5,170 households on this patch, 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 the streets near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market, with City of London parking rules in play. In leasehold flats across Clerkenwell we check the lease first; many City of London Corporation blocks require consent before a wall is cut on City of London bookings, with 94% of homes here being flats.
Is same-day or evening TV mounting available in City of London?
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours on the streets near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Clerkenwell sits close to Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink) for Clerkenwell (EC1) addresses, with 36% of EC1 homes being privately rented — and 25% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a EC1 job to an existing City of London round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Clerkenwell?
In Clerkenwell, narrow one-way streets, seven-day controlled bays and warehouse lofts up several flights of stairs in this 94% flats neighbourhood. 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 City of London bookings — and The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market a few streets away, with 39% social-rented stock nearby. Ask for it in writing before the EC1 visit and it is on the job sheet.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC1?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on in Clerkenwell, with this being City of London Corporation territory, 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 around Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with 94% of homes here being flats.
