TV Wall Mounting in Reading: what actually matters here
Berkshire's largest town and its transport hub, where dense Victorian terraces off the Oxford Road and in Katesgrove meet a station quarter of new apartment blocks and the interwar suburbs of Tilehurst and Southcote.
The housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraces across RG1 and RG30, interwar and post-war semis at Tilehurst, Southcote and Whitley, and 2010s apartment blocks around the station and the Kennet, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a tv wall mounting job.
Central Reading is a controlled parking zone with timed loading bays, Broad Street is pedestrianised to general traffic, and the terraced streets off the Oxford Road rarely have a dropped kerb, so we identify a legal stopping point and price the carry from there. Reading Borough residents book a slot at the re3 recycling centre at Smallmead, Island Road RG2 0RP — but the borough boundary is not the postal one: Purley on Thames and the western part of Tilehurst are West Berkshire, and Earley and Lower Earley in RG6 are Wokingham Borough, so tip and permit rules there are those councils', not Reading's.
Katesgrove, Newtown, Coley and Whitley all sit inside the Reading round. Whichever of RG1, RG2 and RG30 your address falls in, the tv wall mounting quote is built the same way.
As one of the larger settlements in the county built around Reading Abbey ruins and Forbury Gardens, Reading has a mix of approach roads and loading points, so we confirm parking and carry distance when you book rather than assuming.
What a tv wall mounting job includes
TV wall mounting is a flat £85: the bracket fitted and the cables tidied. The job is mostly judgement before it is drilling — establishing what the wall is actually made of, whether it will carry the screen, where the cables and pipes run, and what viewing height stops you watching a television angled at the ceiling. Fixed, tilting and full-motion brackets all load the wall differently, and the fixing is chosen for the wall rather than for the box the bracket came in.
Before drilling
- Wall construction identified — solid brick, block, stud, dot-and-dab or lath and plaster
- Cable, pipe and stud detection across the whole mounting area
- Viewing height set from your seating position, not from a default measurement
- Bracket VESA pattern and weight rating checked against the actual screen
The install
- Fixings matched to the wall type — through-bolts into masonry, correct spanning of studs on plasterboard
- Bracket set level and load-tested before the screen goes on
- Screen mounted and the tilt or swing arm set and checked through its full travel
- Power and HDMI runs connected and the picture tested before we leave
Cables and tidy-up
- Cables routed into trunking, or concealed in the wall cavity where the construction allows it
- Soundbar, console and streaming boxes positioned and connected
- Holes made good and dust vacuumed as we go
- Old bracket removed and holes filled if a previous mount is coming down
What changes the price on a tv wall mounting job
- Dot-and-dab is the wall that catches people out: it looks solid, but the plasterboard is on dabs with a void behind, so the fixing has to reach the masonry rather than grip the board.
- Above a fireplace looks tidy and usually sits too high to watch comfortably, and heat is a real consideration on a working fire. We will fit it there if you want it there, but we will tell you what we think first.
- Concealing cables inside the wall depends on the construction and on whether a mains socket needs moving — a socket relocation is electrical work, quoted separately and not bundled in as though it were part of a bracket fit.
- Very large or very heavy screens on stud walls may need noggins fitted between the studs before mounting; that is joinery time on top of the flat mounting price and is quoted before we start.
- We will not mount a screen onto a wall we judge unsafe for its weight. Saying no is cheaper for you than a television on the floor.

Reading questions, answered.
How quickly can you book tv wall mounting in Reading?
Same-week slots are standard in Reading, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Berkshire, so book those a week or two ahead.
Can you hide the cables in the wall?
On a stud or dot-and-dab wall, usually yes. On solid masonry it means chasing and making good, which is a bigger job — so most solid walls get neat trunking instead, and we show you both options before drilling.
What height should the TV be?
Centre of the screen roughly at eye level from where you actually sit. We set it from your sofa rather than from a rule of thumb, because the same height in two rooms gives two very different experiences.
Do you supply the bracket?
You can supply your own and we will check it is rated for the screen, or tell us the model and we will advise what type suits the wall. Fixings and consumables come with the tradesperson as standard.
