TV mounting service across South London
A TV mounting service is one of the jobs people put off because the TV ends up on a stand instead, cables trailing across the floor. It is also the job that goes wrong most often when it is rushed: a bracket fixed into plasterboard with the wrong plug, or a cheap anchor that lets go six months later. I run this off the back of a building firm, so the wall gets read properly before a hole goes in, and the fixing matches the wall and the weight of the screen. Most of the work is in South London terraces and flats, where the wall behind the plaster is rarely what people assume.
Mounting on plasterboard and stud walls
TV wall mounting onto a stud wall means hitting the timber, because plasterboard on its own will not carry a television for long. I locate the studs, fix the bracket through the board into the timber, and where the studs do not line up with where you want the TV, I fit a plywood backing board across two studs and mount onto that. It spreads the load and frees up where the screen can sit. Stud walls do have one advantage: the cables drop straight down inside the empty void behind the board, so hiding them is clean and quick with no channel to cut.
Mounting on solid brick and block
Mounting a TV on solid brick or block, the chimney breast in most South London period homes, gives the strongest fixing there is. I drill into the brick rather than the soft mortar joints and use anchors rated above the combined weight of the TV and bracket. Dot-and-dab walls catch people out: the plaster is held off the brick on dabs of adhesive, leaving a hollow gap, so the fixing has to be long enough to reach and bite into the brick behind rather than crumbling the plasterboard skin. I check what the wall is made of before drilling, because the same anchor behaves very differently in dense brick and lightweight block.
Brackets and getting the height right
The TV mounting bracket is matched to the room, not just the screen. A flat bracket suits a TV at seated eye level. A tilting bracket angles a high-mounted screen down so you are not looking at reflected ceiling lights. A full-motion arm swivels the TV across an open-plan space and pulls it out to reach the sockets, at the cost of far more load on the wall fixings. Height is the detail people get wrong on their own: a TV hung too high to look impressive is tiring to watch all evening. I set the centre of the screen near eye level from where you actually sit, then check it is dead level before tightening down.
Hiding the cables and mounting a soundbar
Hiding TV cables is what separates a tidy job from a screen with leads dangling down the wall. Surface trunking is the no-mess option, a slim channel painted to match the wall. Chasing the cables into the wall gives a flush finish with nothing visible, and needs a fused outlet moved behind the screen by an electrician, since a normal plug lead cannot legally run inside a wall. A soundbar gets mounted level on its own bracket below the TV, with its cable run the same way as the screen's. If you want the fully built-in look with a recess and no trunking anywhere, that steps up into our media wall work.
How we mount your TV and stand behind it
Every TV mounting job starts with reading the wall, because the fixing is only as good as what it grips. I check the wall type, find the studs or the solid brick, detect any cables or pipes buried in the plaster, then fix with anchors rated for the weight. It is the same careful approach I bring to the bigger building work, applied to a job that takes hours rather than weeks.
From a stand-mounted TV to a clean fitted finish
A wall-mounted TV starts as a quick visit: I confirm the wall, the bracket and where you want the screen, fix the mount, hang and level the TV, then deal with the cables the way you have chosen. Where the job grows, a fused outlet moved behind the screen, cables chased into solid plaster, a soundbar and source kit added, it stays one visit with one fixed price agreed first. If what you really want is a recessed screen with integrated joinery and an electric fireplace, that is a media wall, and the same firm designs and builds those too.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can a TV be mounted on a plasterboard or stud wall?
- Yes, but the bracket has to land on the timber studs behind the board, not the plasterboard itself. Plasterboard on its own will not hold a TV, and the screen pulls straight off the wall sooner or later if it is only fixed into the board. I use a detector to find the studs, mark the centres, and bolt the bracket through the board into the timber. Studs usually sit 400mm or 600mm apart, so the bracket may not line up exactly where you want the TV, and on a full-motion arm the load on those fixings is high. Where the studs do not fall in the right place, I fit a backing batten or a plywood pattress across two studs first, then mount onto that. It spreads the load and lets the TV sit where you want it rather than where the timber happens to be.
- How do you mount a TV on a solid brick or block wall?
- Solid brick or block is the strongest wall to mount onto, and most chimney breasts and external walls in South London terraces are exactly that. I drill into the masonry, not the mortar joints, and fix with anchors rated above the weight of the TV and bracket together. The trick is depth and the right plug for the material: aerated block takes a different anchor from dense engineering brick, and dot-and-dab walls have a hollow gap behind the plaster that needs a longer fixing reaching the brick behind. I check what the wall is before drilling, because a fixing that grips in solid brick will spin uselessly in soft block. Done right, a masonry fix holds a heavy screen and a full-motion arm with no movement at all.
- Flat, tilting or full-motion bracket, which one do I need?
- It comes down to where you sit and how the light falls. A flat bracket holds the TV close to the wall and suits a screen at eye level when seated, the cleanest look. A tilting bracket angles the screen downward, which matters when the TV sits high, above a fireplace for example, so you are not looking up at a reflected ceiling light. A full-motion arm pulls the TV out and swivels it, useful in an open-plan room or a kitchen where you watch from more than one spot, or where you need to reach the sockets behind. Full-motion arms put far more load on the fixings, so the wall and anchors matter most with those. I will tell you which suits your room and wall when I see it, not sell you the most expensive arm by default.
- Can you hide the cables so nothing shows?
- Yes, two ways. The quick way is surface trunking, a slim plastic channel run down the wall and painted to match, which hides the cables and can be done on any wall with no mess. The clean way is chasing the cables into the wall, cutting a channel into the plaster, dropping the power and HDMI behind, and making good so nothing shows at all. Chasing in needs a fused power outlet moved behind the TV by an electrician, because running a standard plug lead inside the wall is not allowed. On a plasterboard wall the cables drop down inside the void easily. On solid masonry the channel has to be cut and re-plastered, which is more work. If you want the fully flush look around the TV with no trunking and no trace, that is where this crosses into a media wall build.
- Is it a good idea to mount a TV above a fireplace?
- It can look great, but two things need handling. Height first: a TV above a mantel sits higher than the ideal eye level, so a tilting or full-motion bracket angles the screen down and stops you craning your neck. Heat second: a working open fire or a gas fire throws real heat up the wall, and that heat shortens the life of the electronics and can void the warranty. An electric fire or a flueless fire that runs cooler is usually fine. With a solid-fuel or gas fire I check the temperature the wall reaches and the clearance to the mantel before fitting, and sometimes the honest answer is to mount it on the wall beside the chimney instead. The chimney breast itself is normally solid brick, which is the strongest possible fixing, so the wall is rarely the problem, the heat is.
