What Affects the Cost of TV Mounting?

1. The Type of Wall

Not all walls are the same — and the type of wall your TV needs to go on is one of the biggest factors in pricing. Solid brick and block walls are the most straightforward to drill into and can hold virtually any size TV. Plasterboard and stud walls, which are common in new builds and modern properties across Birmingham, require specialist fixings (such as plasterboard anchors or noggin boards) to ensure a safe, secure mount — which takes additional skill and know-how. Chimney breast walls can be trickier due to uneven brick and potential voids, but they produce some of the most impressive results when done right.

2. TV Size and Weight

Larger, heavier TVs require heavier-duty brackets and more care during installation. Most TVs up to around 65" are straightforward to mount single-handedly or with a basic bracket. TVs 75" and above — particularly heavy OLED or high-end QLED panels — need heavier mounts and more care, which may add a small amount to the overall cost.

3. Cable Management

A bare mount with wires hanging down is far less satisfying than a clean, wire-free finish. There are two main ways to deal with cables:

• Surface trunking — cables are routed into a neat plastic channel along the wall. It's tidy, affordable, and reversible.
• In-wall cable concealment — cables are fed through the wall itself, completely hidden. This produces the cleanest result but requires more work and slightly more cost.

4. Bracket Supply

Our strong recommendation is to let us supply your bracket — and here's why it works in your favour. We source heavy-duty, commercial-grade brackets through our trade accounts, which means we get them at significantly better prices than you'd find on the high street or Amazon. We pass that discount directly on to you, so you're getting a superior bracket at a comparable or lower price than a standard retail option.

More importantly, the brackets we supply are built to last. Many cheaper retail brackets are rated for the weight of a TV but offer very little tolerance beyond that — meaning over time, with heat cycles and the occasional knock, they can flex or loosen. Our trade brackets are overspecified by design, giving you far greater peace of mind that your TV is going nowhere.

That said, if you've already purchased a bracket you're happy with, we're absolutely happy to fit it. We'll always let you know if we have any concerns about its suitability for your wall type or TV weight before we start.

5. Location Within the West Midlands

Being based in Birmingham, we cover all of the West Midlands — including Solihull, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Walsall, Dudley and beyond — with no travel surcharge for most locations. We'll always let you know upfront if your area falls outside our standard coverage zone.

Is It Worth Paying for Professional TV Mounting?

In short — yes, absolutely. Here's why:

• Safety: A poorly mounted TV on the wrong fixings is a real hazard. A 65" TV can weigh 25–35kg. Getting it wrong isn't just an aesthetic problem — it's a serious safety risk.
• A proper finish: A professional will get your TV perfectly level and centred, every time. Using a laser level (as we do on every job) means the result looks genuinely premium.
• No damage to your wall: Using the wrong drill bit or fixings on plasterboard or a chimney breast can cause significant damage. A professional brings the right tools for every wall type.
• Cable management: Hiding cables yourself is fiddly, time-consuming and easy to get wrong. A professional will do it cleanly and quickly.
• Warranty on the work: Reputable TV mounting professionals stand behind their work. If something isn't right, we'll come back and fix it.

Why Fixed-Price Is Better Than Hourly Rate

Some handymen and general tradespeople charge by the hour for TV mounting. This sounds reasonable but can work against you: if they're not familiar with your particular wall type or TV model, the job takes longer — and you pay more. With a fixed price per job, you know exactly what you're paying before work starts. The cost doesn't change whether the job takes 45 minutes or two hours. This is the approach we always take at TV Wall Mounting Birmingham.
