You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
This page prices TV mounting for Maida Vale W9 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 48% privately rented and 3,623 households in total. Work starts at £75, fixed in writing, with parking and Westminster City Council 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; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Little Venice in W9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W9, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 3,623 households inside the W9 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. Mansion blocks with small lifts and porters, resident bays all week and narrow canal-side roads.
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Maida Vale (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, so a W9 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. |

Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Maida Vale around Maida Vale (Bakerloo) — and this being a short walk from Maida Vale (Bakerloo), 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 on this side of Westminster, with 48% of W9 homes being privately rented.
Yes. In Maida Vale the walls we usually meet are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Little Venice on Westminster bookings — and this being a short walk from Maida Vale (Bakerloo), with 17% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Maida Vale rounds.
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in W9 takes 45–60 minutes on the streets near Little Venice. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes for Maida Vale (W9) addresses, with 5% of Maida Vale 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 in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. In leasehold flats across Maida Vale we check the lease first; many Westminster City Council blocks require consent before a wall is cut on Westminster bookings, with 3,623 households on this patch.
All three. With 48% of Maida Vale privately rented and 34% owner-occupied, roughly half the W9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on W9 jobs — and 95% of homes here being flats, with 48% of W9 homes being privately rented.
Little Venice is the marker we route to on the Maida Vale rounds, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, and mansion blocks with small lifts and porters, resident bays all week and narrow canal-side roads. A W9 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next on W9 jobs, with 3,623 households on this patch.
