TV Wall Mounting in London
TV wall mounting in London with Jack All Trades (JACK) means a vetted local pro checks your wall, fits the bracket on fixings that suit it, hangs the TV level and tidies the cables, with a fixed price shown before you book (or hourly hire if you prefer). Plasterboard, dot-and-dab, brick, concrete or a chimney breast, a bedroom screen or a 75-inch living-room TV: send a photo of the TV and the wall, pick a time, and follow the job through photos, updates and a chat with your pro in the app. If the wall or the spot you have in mind cannot safely take the TV, the pro tells you before drilling.
A wall-mounted TV looks effortless exactly when the mounting was not — the right fixings for the wall, a bracket that suits the room, and cables that disappear. Send a photo in the app, agree a fixed price up front, and book a slot that suits.

How pricing works
You get a fixed price for your TV mounting in the JACK app before you book, worked out by a vetted local pro, and you pick the time.
Tell JACK the TV size and model, which bracket you have, and share a photo of the wall. The price reflects the size and weight of the TV, the wall type (plasterboard, dot-and-dab, brick, concrete or a chimney breast) and how you want the cables handled. A pro checks your photo and confirms a fixed price in the app.
You supply the bracket and the pro fits it. Pros do not supply brackets, so buy one rated for your TV's weight and made for its VESA pattern, and the fixed price covers the fitting.
Prefer to pay by the hour? You can also hire a pro at their hourly rate.
Putting up more than the TV, such as a soundbar, shelves, a mirror or a wall-hung media unit? Add it all to the same booking. For a long list, a full-day handyman booking often suits: a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
How it works
Step 1
Tell JACK about the TV and the wall
TV size and model, the bracket you have bought, and a photo of the wall where it is going: that is what a pro needs to price the job.
Step 2
Get a fixed price and pick a slot
See your fixed price before you book and choose a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends when pros have them.
Step 3
Wall checked, TV mounted, cables tidied
Your pro checks the wall, fits fixings that suit it, hangs and levels the TV, reconnects your devices and tidies the cables. Photos and updates come through the JACK app, where you can chat with your pro.
What's included in your TV mounting
The fixed price covers the whole job, from checking the wall to a working, tidy setup:
- The wall checked before any drilling, then fixings that suit it: plasterboard, dot-and-dab, brick, block, concrete or chimney breast
- Bracket fitted, TV hung, levelled and pull-tested
- Cables tidied: clipped, trunked or dressed behind the TV
- Soundbar, console and set-top box reconnected and working before the pro leaves
- A soundbar bracket or wall-hung media unit fitted on the same visit, if you add it when booking
- Replacing a TV? The old one taken off the wall and left with you, with its bracket taken down too if you ask
- Drilling dust cleaned up and any packaging flattened and stacked for recycling
London walls and how each one is fixed
London homes mix old and new building methods, sometimes in the same flat. Before drilling, the pro checks what the wall is made of and uses fixings that suit it, or tells you if the wall or the spot you picked cannot safely take the TV:
- Stud walls: plasterboard over a timber or metal frame. The bracket goes into the studs where they line up with the spot, or onto heavy-duty plasterboard fixings rated for the load when the TV is light enough
- Dot-and-dab walls: plasterboard stuck to brick or block with blobs of adhesive, leaving a gap behind. The fixings have to reach through the board and the gap into the masonry, and are set so the board is not pulled in as they tighten
- Concrete walls, common in new-build and high-rise flats: slow to drill but solid once the right anchors are in. Some buildings have rules about drilling, so check your lease or ask the building manager first
- Brick and block: masonry fixings chosen for the wall, with extra care on older, softer brick and crumbly mortar
- Chimney breasts: the classic spot above a fireplace, with heat and viewing height considered before drilling
- Media walls and panelling: the pro checks what the panel is fixed to and whether there is solid backing behind it before settling on a position
- Not sure what your wall is? Knock on it and say in the app whether it sounds hollow or solid, add a photo, and your pro comes prepared
Mounting a large TV: 65 to 85 inch
A big screen is heavy and awkward to handle, and all of that weight hangs on a few fixings, so large TVs get more checking:
- A bracket rated for at least the TV's weight and made for its VESA pattern, the spacing of the screw holes on the back (such as 400 x 400 or 600 x 400). Both figures are usually in the TV's manual or on the label on the back
- Fixings matched to the wall and the load, set into brick, block, concrete or studs
- Extra care on plasterboard: the bracket goes into studs or through to the masonry behind, and if neither lines up with where you want the screen, the pro says so and suggests another spot or bracket
- A full-motion arm holds a big TV well away from the wall and puts far more leverage on the fixings than a flat bracket, so the wall check matters even more
- Give the exact model in the app when you book, so the pro knows the size and weight before arriving and the lift can be planned. If the job needs a second pair of hands, your pro can ask another pro on JACK to help through the Pro2Pro feature
- Not sure about height? Mark the outline of the screen on the wall with masking tape and sit where you will watch from before the visit. A large TV hung too high is a common regret
Brackets and cable options
Flat, tilting, or full-motion — the bracket decides how the TV lives on the wall, and the cable plan decides how clean it looks:
- Flat (low-profile) brackets sit the TV closest to the wall — made for straight-on viewing
- Tilting brackets angle the screen down — right for chimney breasts and higher mounting
- Full-motion arms pull out and swivel — corners, kitchens, and rooms with more than one viewing spot
- Cable tidy options range from clip-and-dress to slimline trunking that can be painted to match the wall
- Want cables fully hidden inside the wall or a new socket behind the TV? Say so in the app — that routes an electrician alongside the mounting
Soundbars, media units and other wall fixing on the same booking
While a pro has the drill out, other wall fixing can go on the same booking, priced together before you book, with the wall checked for each one first:
- A soundbar bracket above or below the TV, lined up with the screen
- A wall-hung media unit or floating TV cabinet, built first if it arrives flat-pack, then fixed to the wall with fixings that suit it
- Shelves for consoles, routers and set-top boxes
- Mirrors, pictures, curtain poles and other wall fixing jobs elsewhere in the home
- Mains electrical work is not part of it: new sockets, cables chased into the wall and built-in lighting wired to the mains need an electrician
Renting, moving out, or re-mounting a TV
Plenty of London TVs hang on rented walls, and plenty move with their owners. How that works:
- Renting? Check your tenancy agreement or ask your landlord before booking, as many agreements say whether you can drill into the walls
- At move-out, the pro can take the TV and the bracket off the wall and leave both with you
- Filling the holes and touching up the wall is a separate job: add it to the same booking, or fold it into an end-of-tenancy repairs visit before check-out
- Re-mounting a TV from another room or your old address: you move the TV and bracket to where they are going, then the pro checks the new wall and, if it can safely take them, puts them up
- JACK does not take away or transport TVs, brackets or packaging. Your council may collect old electricals, and some shops take an old TV back when they deliver a new one
Frequently asked questions
What size TVs can you mount?
Most sizes, from a small bedroom screen to a 75-inch or 85-inch living-room TV, as long as the wall can take the weight and the bracket is rated for the TV. Give the size and model in the app, with a photo of the wall, so the pro can plan the job.
Will you connect my soundbar and consoles?
Yes — devices reconnected and everything working is part of the job, not an extra.
Where do you cover?
Across London, with evening and weekend slots when pros have them.
How much does TV wall mounting cost in London?
It is a fixed price for your job, worked out by a vetted pro from the TV size, the wall type and how you want the cables handled, and shown in the app before you book. A large TV on a full-motion arm, a concrete or dot-and-dab wall, or a soundbar added to the booking all affect the price. You can also hire a pro by the hour, and for a long list of jobs a full-day handyman booking, a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site, often suits.
How long does TV mounting take?
It depends on the wall, the bracket, the size of the TV and the cable tidy. A flat bracket on a brick wall is one of the shorter jobs, while a large screen on a full-motion arm, a dot-and-dab or concrete wall, or trunking run across to a socket takes longer. On a fixed price, that time is allowed for before you book; on hourly hire, share the photo and the TV model in the app and ask your pro how long to plan for.
Can you mount a 75-inch or 85-inch TV?
Often, yes, as long as the wall can take the weight and the bracket is rated for the TV's weight and VESA pattern. Large screens are heavy and awkward, so give the exact model in the app when you book. The pro checks the wall first and fixes into masonry or studs; if the spot you want is plasterboard with nothing solid behind it, or the wall cannot safely take the TV, you are told before anything is drilled.
Can you mount a TV on a plasterboard wall?
Often, yes, once the pro has checked what is behind the plasterboard. On a stud wall the bracket goes into the timber or metal studs where they line up, or onto heavy-duty plasterboard fixings rated for the load if the TV is light enough. On a dot-and-dab wall, where the board is stuck to brick or block with a gap behind, the fixings go through to the masonry. If the board alone would be carrying a heavy TV, the pro tells you and suggests another spot.
Can you mount a TV above a fireplace?
Usually, yes. Chimney breasts are a popular spot for a TV in London homes. Your pro checks the surface, the heat coming off the fire, and the viewing height, and will tell you honestly if a tilting bracket or a different wall would serve you better.
Can you hide the cables completely?
Not as part of the mounting itself, which covers cables clipped, trunked or dressed behind the TV so everything looks tidy on the surface. Fully chasing cables into the wall or adding a recessed socket behind the TV is electrician territory — mention it in the app and the job is routed with that covered.
Do I need to buy the TV bracket myself?
Yes. You supply the bracket and the pro fits it; pros do not supply brackets. It can be one that came with the TV, one bought online, or one from your old wall, as long as it is rated for your TV's weight and made for its VESA pattern, and the pro checks both before it goes up. Choose flat, tilting or full-motion depending on how you want the screen to sit.
Can I have a TV wall-mounted in a rented flat?
Yes, if your tenancy allows drilling. Check the agreement or ask your landlord first. When you move out, a pro can take the TV and the bracket off the wall and leave them with you. Filling the holes and touching up the wall is a separate job you can add to the same booking or to an end-of-tenancy repairs visit.
Can you re-mount a TV from another room or my old flat?
Yes. You move the TV and its bracket to where they are going, as JACK does not move or transport them, and the pro checks the new wall and, if it can safely take the TV, mounts it there. If it is still up at the old place, a pro can take it down there first and leave it with you. Your old bracket can go back up if it suits the new wall and is rated for the TV; if it does not, the pro tells you before drilling.
