TV Mounting across the West Midlands
A wall-mounted television puts a large static load a long way from the wall, and every failure we are called out to repair comes down to the same thing: a fixing chosen for the wrong substrate. In the West Midlands that is unusually easy to get wrong, because the construction changes street by street.
We identify the wall before we drill — solid Victorian brick, Staffordshire blue engineering brick, lath and plaster, no-fines concrete, dot-and-dab plasterboard or a stud partition — and use the anchor that construction demands. Every mount is load-tested before the TV goes on it.
Cables are concealed as part of the job: through the wall into a lower brush plate where the construction allows, or in a paintable trunking run where it does not. Soundbars, shelves and media units can be fitted in the same visit.
Where the TV goes is usually settled by where the socket and the aerial point are, and in most of the region's housing those are in the wrong place — a Victorian front room has its aerial point beside the chimney breast at skirting level, and a 1960s Coventry semi frequently has neither on the wall the sofa faces.
We plan the whole installation, not just the bracket: bracket position from the seating line, a route for power and HDMI that does not cross a hidden cable run, and a decision on whether the wall can take an in-wall route or needs surface trunking painted to match. That planning is what makes the finished job look built-in rather than bolted on.
What's included
Wall identified before drilling
Stud, pipe and cable detection plus a test drill, so the fixing suits the substrate rather than the instructions.
Bracket supplied or fitted
We fit yours or supply a fixed, tilting or full-motion bracket rated well above your TV's weight.
Cables concealed
In-wall routing to a brush plate where possible, or neat paintable trunking where the construction does not allow it.
Height set from the seat
Mount height calculated from your actual seating position and eye line, not a default measurement.
Set up and tested
TV mounted, levelled, sources connected and picture confirmed working before we leave.
Soundbar and shelf fitting
Soundbar brackets, floating shelves and media units fitted level in the same visit.
Socket relocation planned in
New socket and aerial positions specified and coordinated with a qualified electrician where the run needs one.
Full-motion and corner mounts
Articulated arms fitted where the viewing angle needs it, with the extra leverage accounted for in the fixing choice.

Local knowledge that changes the job
Chimney breasts, and why they need care
The most requested mounting position in the region's Victorian and Edwardian housing — Moseley, Kings Heath, Harborne, Leamington, Bearwood — is the chimney breast, and it is the trickiest. The masonry there is often soft-fired common brick with lime mortar, sometimes with a flue liner or a capped gas point immediately behind the ideal fixing point.
We locate the flue, avoid it, and where the brick is too soft for a mechanical anchor we use a resin fixing that spreads the load. On a soot-affected breast we also seal the drilled holes, so nothing stains through the decoration later.
Dot-and-dab and no-fines walls
New-build estates around Dickens Heath, Monkspath, Longbridge and the Coventry fringe are almost universally dot-and-dab: plasterboard on adhesive dabs with a void behind. A bracket screwed to the board alone will pull out, so the fixing must span the void into the blockwork or use a purpose-made cavity anchor.
Coventry and parts of the Black Country also have post-war no-fines concrete, which drills unpredictably and crumbles around a standard plug. Those walls take a resin anchor, and the twenty minutes of cure time is why we always ask about construction when you book.
Staffordshire blue brick and what it does to drill bits
Black Country housing — Tipton, Cradley Heath, Bilston, Darlaston — is full of Staffordshire blue engineering brick, which is denser than almost anything else in domestic construction. A standard masonry bit will glaze and stop cutting in it, and a hammer drill on the wrong setting will polish the hole rather than deepen it.
Those walls need SDS with a good tungsten tip and patience. The upside is that once a fixing is in blue brick it will hold more than the TV will ever ask of it — the failures we see on those streets are almost always someone who gave up and moved to the plaster instead.
Rented homes, HMOs and making good
A very large share of our mounting work around Selly Oak, Stoke in Coventry and Whitmore Reans is in rented property, and the tenancy question comes up every time. We fit with the smallest viable hole count, photograph the fixing positions, and can return to remove the bracket and make good at the end of the tenancy.
Where drilling is not permitted at all, a no-fix floor stand behind the sofa line is the practical alternative, and we will set one up rather than talk you into a bracket that costs you a deposit.
Above the fire, and the heat nobody checks
Mounting above a wood burner or a gas fire is a common request in the region's period homes, and the manufacturers are clearer than most people realise: many panels specify a maximum ambient of around 35°C, which the space directly above an active burner regularly exceeds.
We measure the temperature at the intended mount height with the fire running before committing to that position. Where it runs hot, a mantel shelf deflector or moving up and out on a pull-down mount solves it — the alternative is a panel with a shortened life and a voided warranty.

When the job is a move, not a fixing
Plenty of tv mounting enquiries start as something else — a house move, a store collection or an office change. These pages price that side of the work properly rather than squeezing it into an hourly handyman slot.
removals that unmount and remount your screens
Screen taken off the old wall, transported in a TV carton and mounted at the new one.
From £320 per movevan collection for a new television
Big-box collection from a retail park, carried in and mounted the same visit.
From £45 per hourmovers in your town for the lifting side
Local crews priced by postcode when the job is more carry than fixing.
From £45 per hour
Every removal service we run in the region is listed on West Midlands moving services, and the fixing side sits on West Midlands handyman services.
Other West Midlands services
Most jobs in the region touch more than one trade — a tenancy clean before a move, an assembly visit after a delivery, or an office contract that needs both. These hubs price each side properly.

Verified customer feedback
What West Midlands customers say about our TV Mounting
Feedback collected after completion and lightly edited for length. Our overall score across all services is 4.5 from 3082 reviews on Trustpilot.
- ★★★★★
Blue brick beaten — cleanly
“Two previous attempts by other people had failed on this wall. He turned up with SDS and proper tungsten, found the pipe run first with a detector, and the 65-inch is rock solid. Cables chased and made good.”
- ★★★★★
Dot-and-dab done the right way
“New-build wall, so the void behind the board is the whole problem. He used void-spanning anchors rather than plasterboard plugs and explained exactly why. Soundbar mounted underneath and levelled to the screen.”
- ★★★★★
Talked me out of the chimney breast
“I wanted it above an open fire and he explained the heat issue honestly rather than just taking the money. Ended up on the adjacent wall with better viewing angles anyway.”
TV Mounting in the West Midlands — FAQs
Q1.How much does TV mounting cost in the West Midlands?
Up to 50" on a standard wall starts at £60, 55–75" at £85, and a chimney breast or difficult wall at £110. In-wall cable concealment adds from £45.
Q2.Can you mount a TV on a chimney breast?
Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs in the region's period housing. We locate the flue first, avoid it, and use a resin anchor where the old brick is too soft for a mechanical fixing.
Q3.Can you hide the cables inside the wall?
Where the construction allows, yes — a brush plate behind the TV and another at socket level, with the cables run inside the wall. On solid masonry or where a chase is not practical we fit neat paintable trunking instead.
Q4.Will the bracket hold on a plasterboard wall?
Only with the correct anchor. On dot-and-dab we fix through the void into the blockwork behind; on a stud partition we fix into the studs. Screwing a bracket into plasterboard alone is the single most common cause of a TV coming off a wall.
Q5.Do you supply the bracket?
We can, rated well above your TV's weight, or fit one you already have as long as it matches your VESA pattern and screen size.
Q6.Can you mount a TV on Staffordshire blue brick?
Yes — it needs SDS and a proper tungsten tip because blue engineering brick glazes standard bits. It is the strongest substrate in Black Country housing once the fixing is in, and we drill it as a matter of routine.
Q7.Is it safe to mount a TV above a log burner?
Only after measuring. Many panels specify around 35°C maximum ambient, which the space above an active burner exceeds. We take a reading at the intended height with the fire lit, then recommend a deflector shelf or a pull-down mount if it runs hot.
Q8.I rent — can you fit and then remove it later?
Yes. We fit with the minimum number of holes, photograph the positions, and can return at the end of the tenancy to remove the bracket and make good. Where drilling is not allowed at all we will set up a no-fix floor stand instead.
Q9.Can you move the socket behind the TV?
We plan the position and coordinate with a qualified electrician for the new socket or spur — the fused connection work is notifiable and belongs with an electrician, so we specify it and schedule it rather than improvise.
