Overview
TV mounting in Custom House E16, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Custom House, TV mounting here covers supply-free fitting from £75. With 50% of Custom House's 3,330 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E16 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How TV mounting works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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 Custom House customers book us
Four things decide whether a E16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Newham bookings: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, allowing for the 24% of E16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Fixings rated for the screen weight and, on cantilever arms, the pull-out load, noted on the Custom House job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Custom House: screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, timed against the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- On E16 jobs: cardboard and packaging taken away, agreed on the doorstep in Custom House before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, and we will say so before the E16 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 Custom House

Working in Custom House
Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
Custom House E16 is post-war and social-housing-led: 50% of homes here are flats and 50% are houses, across 3,330 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 24% private renting against 26% owner-occupied, most E16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in E16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line — which is why a E16 quote is not a Newham average.
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), 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 Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Custom House E16?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Custom House across E16, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses — and a median age of 33 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 on E16 jobs, with 50% of homes here being flats.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Custom House E16?
Yes. In Custom House the walls we usually meet are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) — and 50% of homes here being flats, 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 E16 jobs.
How long does TV mounting take in Custom House?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in E16 takes 45–60 minutes across E16. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on this side of Newham, with 50% of homes here being flats — and 26% owner-occupation locally, 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 Newham?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. In leasehold flats across Custom House we check the lease first; many London Borough of Newham blocks require consent before a wall is cut for Custom House (E16) addresses, with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
Do you handle difficult access in Custom House?
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts across E16. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Newham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Newham — and 49% social-rented stock nearby, with 50% of homes here being flats.
Are your fitters insured for work in E16?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on across E16, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented — and Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Newham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away.
What is not included in TV mounting in Custom House?
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 Newham bookings — and 50% of homes here being flats, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Custom House E16 price you agree is the price you pay on the Custom House rounds, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away.
