Lewisham · SE6 · TV mounting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Catford fitters · Fixed written pricesCatford SE6 is a regular stop on our Lewisham round. The fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops, 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
This page prices TV mounting for Catford SE6 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 6,981 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE6, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE6, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood.
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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 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. |

Scope
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 Catford
Walk Catford from The Catford Cat outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 62% of the 6,981 households in SE6 live in flats, 38% in houses.
33% of households rent privately and 42% own, which is why TV mounting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE6, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE6, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Catford: the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Nearest station is Catford (Southeastern), 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 Catford on SE6 jobs — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with a median age of 35 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 across SE6, with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented.
Yes. In Catford the walls we usually meet are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE6 on the streets near The Catford Cat, with 25% social-rented stock nearby, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does — and this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), 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 Lewisham bookings.
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in SE6 takes 45–60 minutes on the Catford rounds. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes across SE6 — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 38% of Catford homes being houses, 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 on this side of Lewisham, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. In leasehold flats across Catford we check the lease first; many London Borough of Lewisham blocks require consent before a wall is cut in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with 6,981 households on this patch.
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on for Catford (SE6) addresses, with The Catford Cat a few streets away — and 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Catford rounds, with 38% of Catford homes being houses.
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 Lewisham bookings — and 38% of Catford homes being houses, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Catford SE6 price you agree is the price you pay on the Catford rounds, with 6,981 households on this patch.
All three. With 33% of Catford privately rented and 42% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Catford rounds — and 38% of Catford homes being houses, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
