Overview
TV mounting in Purley CR8, explained

How it works
How TV mounting works in Purley
Five steps, the same on every CR8 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In CR8, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets 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 Purley customers book us
Four things decide whether a CR8 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell. Steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Purley (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Purley walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Purley, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Purley (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in CR8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Purley stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Purley
Fixed prices for CR8 and the rest of Croydon. 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 Purley
The same scope across CR8, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Purley: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, timed against the walk in from Purley (Southern)
- On CR8 jobs: fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, agreed on the doorstep in Purley before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Croydon bookings: screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, allowing for the 26% of CR8 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Cardboard and packaging taken away, noted on the Purley job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, which we refer on to the right trade in Purley
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR8
- Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent, outside the fixed price on Purley bookings

Working in Purley
Purley CR8 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Purley — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
Purley CR8 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 44% of homes here are flats and 56% are houses, across 7,502 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 26% of Purley is privately rented and 10% socially rented, a lot of CR8 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Purley, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Purley (Southern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Purley is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Purley stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
A downland town at the foot of the Brighton Road hills, with big detached houses above. That character decides the practical detail of TV mounting here far more than the borough boundary does. Purley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets — 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 Purley (Southern).

Common questions
TV mounting in Purley CR8 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Purley CR8?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Purley on this side of Croydon — and Croydon parking rules in play, with 10% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Purley Rotary Field, with this being a short walk from Purley (Southern).
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Purley CR8?
Yes. In Purley the walls we usually meet are solid London stock brick in Purley, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Purley (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in this 44% flats neighbourhood — and 64% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Purley (Southern), 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 CR8 jobs.
How long does TV mounting take in Purley?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in CR8 takes 45–60 minutes in Purley. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes for Purley (CR8) addresses, with 7,502 households on this patch — and Croydon parking rules in play, 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 Croydon?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on CR8 jobs, with 10% social-rented stock nearby. In leasehold flats across Purley we check the lease first; many London Borough of Croydon blocks require consent before a wall is cut on this side of Croydon, with 64% owner-occupation locally.
Do you handle difficult access in Purley?
Steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets for Purley (CR8) addresses. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Croydon it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Purley Rotary Field — and 7,502 households on this patch, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory.
Are your fitters insured for work in CR8?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on on Croydon bookings, with 7,502 households on this patch — and 29% one-person households here, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Croydon letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Purley Rotary Field, with 64% owner-occupation locally.
What is not included in TV mounting in Purley?
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 on the Purley rounds — and Croydon parking rules in play, with Purley Rotary Field a few streets away. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Purley CR8 price you agree is the price you pay on CR8 jobs, with 26% of CR8 homes being privately rented.
