Overview
TV mounting in Plumstead SE18, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Plumstead, TV mounting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 33% of Plumstead's 9,964 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE18 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Plumstead
Five steps, the same on every SE18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE18, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Plumstead customers book us
What follows is specific to Plumstead: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
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. Very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Plumstead (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Plumstead walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE18, 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 Plumstead stock goes, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Plumstead
Fixed prices for SE18 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Plumstead
The same scope across SE18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Plumstead: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, timed against the walk in from Plumstead (Elizabeth line)
- On SE18 jobs: fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, agreed on the doorstep in Plumstead before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, allowing for the 32% of SE18 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Cardboard and packaging taken away, noted on the Plumstead 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 Plumstead
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE18
- Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent, outside the fixed price on Plumstead bookings

Plumstead SE18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Plumstead — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
In Plumstead (SE18) the split is 33% flats to 67% houses over 9,964 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 32% private renting against 41% owner-occupied, most SE18 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Plumstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Plumstead stock goes, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Terraced streets climbing steeply from the high street to the common. That character decides the practical detail of TV mounting here far more than the borough boundary does. Plumstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station. Plumstead (Elizabeth line) 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 Plumstead SE18 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Plumstead SE18?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Plumstead on the Plumstead rounds, with 27% 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 on the streets near Plumstead Common, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Plumstead SE18?
Yes. In Plumstead the walls we usually meet are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and 67% of Plumstead homes being houses, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on the Plumstead rounds, 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 SE18.
How long does TV mounting take in Plumstead?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in SE18 takes 45–60 minutes across SE18. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on this side of Greenwich — and 9,964 households on this patch, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, 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 Greenwich?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on SE18 jobs, with 27% one-person households here. In leasehold flats across Plumstead we check the lease first; many Royal Borough of Greenwich blocks require consent before a wall is cut on the Plumstead rounds, with 9,964 households on this patch.
Do you handle difficult access in Plumstead?
Very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station on this side of Greenwich. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on SE18 jobs — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE18?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on on the Plumstead rounds — and 27% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Plumstead (Elizabeth line), which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Greenwich bookings, with 32% of SE18 homes being privately rented.
What is not included in TV mounting in Plumstead?
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 for Plumstead (SE18) addresses — and 32% of SE18 homes being privately rented, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Plumstead SE18 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Plumstead Common, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
