Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around St Paul's, TV mounting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 98% of St Paul's's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC4 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Detector sweep for cables and pipes, then a substrate test so the fixing matches the wall rather than the other way round.
Step 2
We set the centre of the screen to seated eye level and mark it before drilling anything.
Step 3
Anchors chosen for the wall type and torqued, with a load check before the screen goes anywhere near it.
Step 4
Two-person lift on anything over 43 inches, then levelled and the tilt set.
Step 5
Cables trunked, sleeved or chased if quoted, inputs tested and the packaging taken away.
Why choose us
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC4, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around St Paul's Cathedral in EC4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood.
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.
One fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell. Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. St Paul's (Central) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.

Adam the handy man then came to fix my wardrobe sliding door, which were jammed and came off the ledge… Read in full →

Working in St Paul's
Walk St Paul's from St Paul's Cathedral outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 98% of the 4,914 households in EC4 live in flats, 2% in houses.
Private renting sits at 48% and owner-occupation at 37%; the first group books TV mounting at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC4, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around St Paul's Cathedral behind the plaster in EC4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in EC4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in St Paul's: cathedral precinct, One New Change shopping and the streets running down to the Millennium Bridge. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. St Paul's sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation — 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 St Paul's (Central).

Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in St Paul's in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented, with a median age of 37 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 across EC4, with 98% of homes here being flats.
Yes. In St Paul's the walls we usually meet are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC4 on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral, with St Paul's Cathedral a few streets away — and 4,914 households on this patch, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around St Paul's Cathedral, 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 EC4.
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in EC4 takes 45–60 minutes on the St Paul's rounds. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on City of London bookings — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from St Paul's (Central), 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.
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral, with this being a short walk from St Paul's (Central). In leasehold flats across St Paul's we check the lease first; many City of London Corporation blocks require consent before a wall is cut across EC4, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours around St Paul's (Central), with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. St Paul's sits close to St Paul's (Central) on EC4 jobs, with 4,914 households on this patch — and 51% one-person households here, so we can usually add a EC4 job to an existing City of London round at short notice.
Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation for St Paul's (EC4) addresses. 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 streets near St Paul's Cathedral — and 51% one-person households here, with City of London parking rules in play.
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on in St Paul's, with this being a short walk from St Paul's (Central) — and 98% of homes here being flats, 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 City of London bookings, with 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented.
