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 Pimlico SW1, explained
This page prices TV mounting for Pimlico SW1 specifically: post-war stock, 39% privately rented and 7,917 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
How TV mounting works in Pimlico
Five steps, the same on every SW1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW1, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from Pimlico (Victoria) 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 Pimlico customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW1 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. Resident-permit streets all week, basement flats down steep steps and no lifts in most conversions.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are available within 48 hours, with evening appointments after 6pm on weekdays. Pimlico (Victoria) is the nearest station, so a SW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Pimlico walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Pimlico stock goes, the reality on the streets around Tate Britain.
Fixed prices
TV mounting prices in Pimlico
Fixed prices for SW1 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. |

Working in Pimlico
Pimlico SW1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Pimlico — the numbers that actually change a TV mounting quote.
7,917 households sit inside the SW1 neighbourhood covering Pimlico. The build is post-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 93% of those homes are flats.
With 39% private renting against 27% owner-occupied, most SW1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Pimlico substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense 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 drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Pimlico stock goes, the reality on the streets around Tate Britain is the mistake that costs a SW1 customer twice.
Cubitt's white stucco grid between Victoria and the river, quieter than its neighbours. That character decides the practical detail of TV mounting here far more than the borough boundary does. Pimlico sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Resident-permit streets all week, basement flats down steep steps and no lifts in most conversions. Nearest station is Pimlico (Victoria), 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 Pimlico SW1 — your questions.
How much does TV mounting cost in Pimlico SW1?
Up to 42" on a solid wall starts at £75 in Pimlico across SW1 — and Westminster parking rules in play, with this being a short walk from Pimlico (Victoria), 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 for Pimlico (SW1) addresses, with Tate Britain a few streets away.
Can you mount a TV on plasterboard in Pimlico SW1?
Yes. In Pimlico the walls we usually meet are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 7% of Pimlico homes being houses — and 93% of homes here being flats, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on this side of Westminster, 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 in Pimlico.
How long does TV mounting take in Pimlico?
A screen up to 42 inches on a solid wall in SW1 takes 45–60 minutes on Westminster bookings. A 43–65 inch screen takes an hour to 90 minutes on the Pimlico rounds, with 27% owner-occupation locally — and 39% of SW1 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 Westminster?
We do, quoted separately from £90 — chasing, back boxes and making good is a different task from hanging the screen across SW1, with 93% of homes here being flats. In leasehold flats across Pimlico we check the lease first; many Westminster City Council blocks require consent before a wall is cut on the streets near Tate Britain, with Tate Britain a few streets away.
Do you handle difficult access in Pimlico?
Resident-permit streets all week, basement flats down steep steps and no lifts in most conversions on Westminster bookings. 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 on the Pimlico rounds, with 7% of Pimlico homes being houses.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW1?
Work is covered by £5m public liability insurance and we photograph the fixing before the screen goes on in this 93% flats neighbourhood — and this being Westminster City Council territory, with 93% of homes here being flats, which is what most London leases and letting agents ask for. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Pimlico (SW1) addresses, with Westminster parking rules in play.
What is not included in TV mounting in Pimlico?
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 across SW1 — and 46% one-person households here, with 7% of Pimlico homes being houses. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Pimlico SW1 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Westminster, with Westminster parking rules in play.
