Tidy, secure TV installation on any wall type, with brackets supplied and cables hidden. Guide prices from £59.
Mounting a TV sounds simple until you are holding a 55 inch screen against a plasterboard wall wondering whether the fixings will hold. Get it wrong and the result is a cracked wall, a damaged TV, or both. We mount TVs across Watford every week: fixed, tilting and full motion brackets, on every wall type found in local homes, from the Victorian terraces around the town centre to the new build apartments at Riverwell.
You can supply your own bracket or ask us to bring one matched to your TV size and wall type. Every installation includes a spirit level check, a cable tidy and a full function test before we leave, and we clean up the drilling dust afterwards.
Guide prices below. Your exact quote depends on the wall type and cable options, and we confirm it before any work starts. Labour-only prices assume you already have the bracket.

Common in newer builds around Leavesden and Croxley View, and most upstairs rooms. We locate the timber studs where possible and use heavy duty hollow wall anchors rated well above the TV weight where not. A standard rawl plug in bare plasterboard is how TVs end up on the floor, so we never use them.
Typical in Watford’s Victorian and 1930s houses, including the terraces around Whippendell Road and the semis in North Watford. Brick gives the strongest fixing and suits large screens and full motion arms. We drill with dust extraction and use sleeve anchors sized for the bracket.
A popular spot in older Watford homes, with two honest caveats we always talk through first: the TV sits higher than ideal viewing height unless you use a pull-down or tilt bracket, and a working fire underneath can push heat above the manufacturer’s limit. We check both before drilling.
| Option | What it looks like | Guide cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clip-on trunking | Slim white channel below the TV, paintable to match your wall | from £15 | Rented homes, quick tidy results |
| In-wall chasing | Cables buried inside the wall, completely invisible | from £60 | Owned homes wanting a clean finish |
| Behind the wall | Cables dropped inside the cavity between plasterboard sheets | from £40 | Stud walls where chasing is not needed |
| Cable sleeve | Fabric sleeve grouping cables into one neat run | from £10 | Media units directly below the TV |

We check the wall construction, scan for hidden pipes and cables, and confirm the fixings.
We hold the TV or a template at your preferred height so you can see it before any holes are drilled. As a rule, screen centre at seated eye level, roughly 100 to 110 cm from the floor.
Drilled, levelled and torque checked, with dust sheets down and extraction on the drill.
Locking screws fitted so the TV cannot be lifted off accidentally.
Whichever option you chose from the comparison table above.
We connect your devices, check every input works, and leave the room as we found it.

Yes. We either fix into the timber studs behind the board or use heavy duty hollow wall anchors rated for several times the TV weight. What matters is matching the fixing to the wall and the screen size, which we assess on arrival before drilling anything.
No. Tell us your TV size and model when you book and we will bring a suitable bracket, from £25 depending on type. If you already have one, we are happy to fit it, and we will tell you honestly if it is not suitable for your wall.
Yes, in most rooms. On stud walls we can usually drop cables inside the wall cavity. On solid walls we chase a channel, bury the cables and refill it. Where neither suits, slim paintable trunking is a tidy low cost alternative.
A straightforward mount on a solid wall takes about 45 minutes. Larger screens, chimney breasts and in-wall cable work push that to 60 to 90 minutes. We confirm the expected time with your quote.
Yes, and it is one of our most requested jobs in Watford’s older houses. We first check the heat above the fire when it is running and the viewing height from your sofa. If either is a problem we will say so and suggest a pull-down bracket or an alternative wall.
We can route your existing extension neatly inside trunking as part of the cable tidy. Installing a brand new socket is electrical work that needs a qualified electrician, and we will tell you that upfront rather than botch it. We can recommend trusted local electricians we work alongside.
Yes. Moving house, redecorating or upgrading the screen are all common reasons. Removal and remounting in a new position is priced the same as a fresh installation, and we can fill and make good the old holes for a small extra charge.
Yes, we carry public liability insurance covering work in your home. Details are available on request with your quote.
