Overview
TV mounting in Old Street EC1V, explained
This page prices TV mounting for Old Street EC1V specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 4,949 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Islington permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Old Street
Five steps, the same on every EC1V job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 4,949 households inside the EC1V neighbourhood 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 Old Street customers book us
What follows is specific to Old Street: its walls, its access and the paperwork Islington agents ask for.
Old Street walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in EC1V, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map in EC1V, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.
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.
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. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Old Street
Fixed prices for EC1V and the rest of Islington. 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 Old Street
The same scope across EC1V, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Islington bookings: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, with 4,949 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, checked on every EC1V visit
- In Old Street: screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, sized for the red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards
- On EC1V jobs: cardboard and packaging taken away, local TV mounting included
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, outside the fixed price on Old Street bookings
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, and we will say so before the EC1V visit rather than on the day
- 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 Old Street

Working in Old Street
Old Street EC1V at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Old Street — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
Old Street EC1V is post-war and social-housing-led: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,949 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 28% of Old Street is privately rented and 52% socially rented, a lot of EC1V work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in EC1V, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in EC1V. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground is the fault we are called back to undo.
Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe — which is why a EC1V quote is not a Islington average.
On access, red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards — 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 Old Street (Northern, Great Northern).

Common questions
TV mounting in Old Street EC1V — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Old Street EC1V?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Old Street across EC1V, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away — and a median age of 32 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern).
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Old Street EC1V?
Yes. In Old Street the walls we usually meet are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in EC1V, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map on Islington bookings, with 2% of Old Street homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), 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 the streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.
How long does TV mounting take in Old Street?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in EC1V takes 45–60 minutes on the Old Street rounds. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on EC1V jobs, with 52% social-rented stock nearby — and 39% one-person households here, 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 Islington?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on the streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground, with 52% social-rented stock nearby. In leasehold flats across Old Street we check the lease first; many London Borough of Islington blocks require consent before a wall is cut on EC1V jobs, with 19% owner-occupation locally.
Do you handle difficult access in Old Street?
Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards in Old Street. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Islington it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Islington — and 52% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern).
Are your fitters insured for work in EC1V?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on on the Old Street rounds, with 39% one-person households here — and this being London Borough of Islington territory, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Islington letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Islington bookings, with 4,949 households on this patch.
What is not included in TV mounting in Old Street?
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 Old Street (EC1V) addresses — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Old Street EC1V price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented.
