Your TV wall mounting questions answered
What trade puts a TV on the wall?
Many tradespeople have the skills to mount a TV on a wall safely. Some companies specialise in TV wall mounting, but an electrician may also be able to carry out this task.
In most circumstances, a general handyperson can safely mount a TV on the wall.
Can you mount a TV on your own?
Depending on the size of your television set, you could mount it yourself.
However, this job becomes more complicated the larger the TV. Problems can also arise when trying to drill into the wall and accurately position the bracket.
Attempting a DIY installation comes with the following risks:
- Wall damage
- TV damage
- A lopsided installation
- Injury (lifting heavy TV sets can be dangerous)
We recommend hiring a professional to make sure your TV is safely mounted. If you really want to do this job yourself, take a look at our guide on how to mount a TV to the wall.
How long does it take to mount a TV on the wall?
Most television sets can be professionally mounted on the wall in less than 2 hours. Installation times can vary depending on the complexity of the job.
For example, drilling times can vary for different wall materials. Mounting times can also be longer if you want all cables hidden.
DIY installation often takes longer, especially if this is your first time mounting a TV on a wall.
How do you hide the wires on a wall mounted TV?
Visible wires can ruin the sleek appearance of a wall mounted TV.
Hire a professional electrician to add sockets at the same height as your mounted TV. Having plug sockets at eye level will prevent wires from dangling down.
You can also choose to have a plasterboard channel created to feed wires down to sockets at floor level discretely. If you mount a TV above a fireplace, the wires can pass down through the wall.
How do you know if your wall can hold a TV?
To avoid unnecessary damage, check the weight of your TV. Your wall bracket must be designed to support the weight of your TV. If your television set is too heavy, it can strain the mount and the wall itself.
Any wall can hold a TV. The only exception is walls with pipes or cables fitted in the place where you’re planning to install the wall mount.
The type of bracket you are using is more important than the wall itself. If the mount is strong enough and properly installed, your wall will be able to hold the weight of your TV safely.
How much does it cost to mount a TV on a wall?
The following factors influence the price of professional TV wall mounting:
- Your location – Tradespeople charge different hourly rates across the UK
- Job complexity – Do you want the TV mounted into a recess? Do you want cables and wires hidden? Are new plug sockets needed? The scope of work needed will influence your final wall mounting price
Professional TV wall mounting services charge between £80 – £150.
