Overview
TV mounting in Farringdon EC1, explained
TV mounting in Farringdon EC1 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 4,914 households sit inside this EC1 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near Smithfield Market rather than a London average.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Farringdon
Five steps, the same on every EC1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Farringdon stock goes, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Farringdon 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 Farringdon customers book us
What follows is specific to Farringdon: its walls, its access and the paperwork City of London agents ask for.
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.
Farringdon walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 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 short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 51% one-person households in Farringdon, 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 Farringdon
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 Farringdon
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 Farringdon before anything is unpacked
- In Farringdon: 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 Farringdon job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on City of London bookings: cardboard and packaging taken away, allowing for the 48% 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 Farringdon 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 Farringdon

Farringdon EC1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Farringdon — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
Census 2021 puts Farringdon at 4,914 households with a median age of 36.9. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 2% houses and 98% flats need different handling in EC1.
48% of households rent privately and 37% own, which is why TV mounting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Farringdon substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. 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 — and with 51% one-person households in Farringdon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a EC1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Farringdon knows the pattern near Smithfield Market: smithfield's market sheds, media offices and loft conversions on the City–Clerkenwell border. We plan the EC1 visit around it. Farringdon sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Market traffic overnight, narrow Cowcross Street loading and weekday CPZ control. Nearest station is Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, 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 Farringdon EC1 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Farringdon EC1?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Farringdon in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and Smithfield Market a few streets away, with 4,914 households on this patch, 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 Farringdon, with City of London parking rules in play.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Farringdon EC1?
Yes. In Farringdon the walls we usually meet are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on City of London bookings, with 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 across EC1.
How long does TV mounting take in Farringdon?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in EC1 takes 45–60 minutes on City of London bookings. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with Smithfield Market a few streets away — and 48% of EC1 homes being privately rented, 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 around Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with 37% owner-occupation locally. In leasehold flats across Farringdon we check the lease first; many City of London Corporation blocks require consent before a wall is cut in Farringdon, with 15% social-rented stock nearby.
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 this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 51% one-person households here — and 2% of Farringdon 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 this side of City of London, with 4,914 households on this patch.
What is not included in TV mounting in Farringdon?
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 in Farringdon, with this being City of London Corporation territory. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Farringdon EC1 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of City of London, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Who books TV mounting in Farringdon EC1 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 48% of Farringdon privately rented and 37% owner-occupied, roughly half the EC1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of City of London — and this being a short walk from Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with this being City of London Corporation territory.
