Havering · RM5 · TV mounting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Collier Row fitters · Fixed written pricesCollier Row RM5 is a regular stop on our Havering round. A large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade, so TV mounting here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £75, in writing, with insured fitters, brackets and fixings matched to the wall, and the packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Romford, TV mounting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 12% of Collier Row's 3,167 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM5 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 solid London stock brick in Collier Row, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 3,167 households inside the RM5 neighbourhood in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM5, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Romford (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map.
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. Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 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. |

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
I booked online last minute, as I needed a handyman urgently for the next day. When I called Hello Services, I spoke to Michelle and she was extremely helpful and arranged everything within 15 mins. 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 Collier Row
Census 2021 puts Collier Row at 3,167 households with a median age of 38.9. The post-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 88% houses and 12% flats need different handling in RM5.
Private renting sits at 14% and owner-occupation at 74%; the first group books TV mounting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Collier Row, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 3,167 households inside the RM5 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Collier Row is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in RM5, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Romford (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Collier Row: a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Collier Row 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: wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. Romford (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.

Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Collier Row for Collier Row (RM5) addresses — and 14% of RM5 homes being privately rented, with 88% of Collier Row homes being houses, 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 around Romford (Elizabeth line), with 74% owner-occupation locally.
Yes. In Collier Row the walls we usually meet are solid London stock brick in Collier Row, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 3,167 households inside the RM5 neighbourhood on RM5 jobs — and this being London Borough of Havering territory, with Collier Row Lane parade a few streets away, 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 around Romford (Elizabeth line).
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in RM5 takes 45–60 minutes on Havering bookings. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line) — and 14% of RM5 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.
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen for Collier Row (RM5) addresses, with this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line). In leasehold flats across Collier Row we check the lease first; many London Borough of Havering blocks require consent before a wall is cut in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with 74% owner-occupation locally.
All three. With 14% of Collier Row privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the RM5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Collier Row — and 14% of RM5 homes being privately rented, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood.
Collier Row Lane parade is the marker we route to on the Collier Row rounds, with Collier Row Lane parade a few streets away, and wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. A RM5 slot added to an existing Havering round usually lands the same week rather than the next on RM5 jobs, with 14% of RM5 homes being privately rented.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours on Havering bookings, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Collier Row sits close to Romford (Elizabeth line) on the streets near Collier Row Lane parade, with 74% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a RM5 job to an existing Havering round at short notice.
