How it works
How TV mounting works in Fitzrovia
Five steps, the same on every W1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) 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 Fitzrovia customers book us
Four things decide whether a W1 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Fitzrovia walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in W1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Fitzrovia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 20% 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. Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Fitzrovia
Fixed prices for W1 and the rest of Westminster. 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 Fitzrovia
The same scope across W1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Westminster bookings: substrate check before anything is drilled — masonry, dot-and-dab, stud or concrete, with 4,257 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 W1 visit
- In Fitzrovia: screen levelled, tilt set and cables tidied into trunking or a sleeve, sized for the weekday cpz, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor
- On W1 jobs: cardboard and packaging taken away, local TV mounting included
Not included
- Aerial and satellite work, which needs an aerial engineer, and we will say so before the W1 visit rather than on the day
- New power sockets behind the screen — that is notifiable electrical work, handled by Westminster City Council or a specialist contractor instead
- Drilling into a wall we assess as unsafe or a leaseholder's structural wall without written consent, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W1

Working in Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia W1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Fitzrovia — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
4,257 households sit inside the W1 neighbourhood covering Fitzrovia. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 98% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (20% owned, 52% privately rented) means a W1 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Fitzrovia substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Fitzrovia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a W1 customer twice.
Fitzrovia 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 — media offices, university buildings and Georgian terraces around Charlotte Street — which is why a W1 quote is not a Westminster average.
Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. Nearest station is Goodge Street (Northern), 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 Fitzrovia W1 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Fitzrovia W1?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Fitzrovia — and this being Westminster City Council territory, with 20% owner-occupation locally, 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 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Fitzrovia W1?
Yes. In Fitzrovia the walls we usually meet are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded around Goodge Street (Northern), with 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses — and 98% 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 W1 jobs.
How long does TV mounting take in Fitzrovia?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in W1 takes 45–60 minutes in Fitzrovia. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on this side of Westminster — and 28% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Goodge Street (Northern), 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 Westminster?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen around Goodge Street (Northern), with 52% of W1 homes being privately rented. In leasehold flats across Fitzrovia we check the lease first; many Westminster City Council blocks require consent before a wall is cut on W1 jobs, with The BT Tower a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Fitzrovia from your Westminster round?
The BT Tower is the marker we route to in Fitzrovia, with 28% social-rented stock nearby, and weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. A W1 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Fitzrovia (W1) addresses, with 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening TV mounting available in Westminster?
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours on Westminster bookings, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Fitzrovia sits close to Goodge Street (Northern), with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a W1 job to an existing Westminster round at short notice in this 98% flats neighbourhood.
Do you handle difficult access in Fitzrovia?
Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor in Fitzrovia. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Westminster City Council it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Fitzrovia (W1) addresses, with 98% of homes here being flats.
