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.

Overview
TV mounting in Chelsea SW3, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Sloane Square, TV mounting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 78% of Chelsea's 8,944 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Chelsea
Five steps, the same on every SW3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW3, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — measured on the walk in from Sloane Square (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map 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 Chelsea customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW3 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. Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Sloane Square (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a SW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Chelsea walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Chelsea, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the reality on the streets around The Royal Hospital Chelsea in SW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 35% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Chelsea
Fixed prices for SW3 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 Chelsea
The same scope across SW3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Chelsea: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, timed against the walk in from Sloane Square (Circle, District)
- On SW3 jobs: fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, agreed on the doorstep in Chelsea before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, allowing for the 35% of SW3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Cardboard and packaging taken away, noted on the Chelsea job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, and we will say so before the SW3 visit rather than on the day
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead
- 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 Chelsea

Working in Chelsea
Chelsea SW3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Chelsea — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
Chelsea SW3 is Georgian and early Victorian and mixed-tenure: 78% of homes here are flats and 22% are houses, across 8,944 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 35% of Chelsea is privately rented and 27% socially rented, a lot of SW3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Chelsea, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the reality on the streets around The Royal Hospital Chelsea, so the fixing that matters in Chelsea is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 35% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
King's Road shops, Cadogan estate squares and the river at Chelsea Embankment. That character decides the practical detail of TV mounting here far more than the borough boundary does. Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Sloane Square (Circle, District) 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 Chelsea SW3 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Chelsea SW3?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Chelsea, with 27% social-rented stock nearby — and 78% of homes here being flats, 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 78% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Chelsea SW3?
Yes. In Chelsea the walls we usually meet are lath and plaster over timber studs in Chelsea — and 45% one-person households here, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the reality on the streets around The Royal Hospital Chelsea around Sloane Square (Circle, District), with The Royal Hospital Chelsea 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 on the streets near The Royal Hospital Chelsea.
How long does TV mounting take in Chelsea?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in SW3 takes 45–60 minutes on this side of Kensington and Chelsea. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory — and 35% of SW3 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.
Do you chase cables into the wall in Kensington and Chelsea?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on SW3 jobs, with The Royal Hospital Chelsea a few streets away. In leasehold flats across Chelsea we check the lease first; many Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea blocks require consent before a wall is cut on the Chelsea rounds, with 22% of Chelsea homes being houses.
How quickly can you reach Chelsea from your Kensington and Chelsea round?
The Royal Hospital Chelsea is the marker we route to on the streets near The Royal Hospital Chelsea, with 78% of homes here being flats, and cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. A SW3 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next across SW3, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
Is same-day or evening TV mounting available in Kensington and Chelsea?
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours in Chelsea, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Chelsea sits close to Sloane Square (Circle, District) on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 35% of SW3 homes being privately rented — and 8,944 households on this patch, so we can usually add a SW3 job to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Chelsea?
Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits for Chelsea (SW3) addresses. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near The Royal Hospital Chelsea — and 27% social-rented stock nearby, with 22% of Chelsea homes being houses.
