- Small and mid-size TVs mounted by one person sit at the lower end; large screens needing two people cost £120–£180+.

How Much Does TV Wall Mounting Cost In 2026?
Having a TV wall mounted in the UK costs £60–£120 for a standard job outside London, rising to £90–£200 in London and the South East. A small or mid-size TV fixed to a solid wall by one person sits near the bottom of that range, while a large screen that needs two people to lift and level pushes the price to £120–£180 or more.
Most single mounts fall within a handyman's minimum call-out, because the work itself takes 45 minutes to 2 hours. The finish, not the lifting, is what you are paying for: finding the studs or drilling securely into masonry, getting the bracket dead level, and making sure a heavy screen is safe to sit above a sofa or fireplace for years. Getting that wrong risks a wonky picture at best and a fallen TV at worst.
The two things that move the price most are wall type and cable management. Fixing to a standard brick or block wall is quick; a stud wall needs the bracket bolted into timber, and a plasterboard-only wall may need special fixings or a supporting batten. Hiding the cables inside the wall — rather than running them down the outside in trunking — takes extra time and can add £30–£80. Here is what you can expect to pay to have a TV wall mounted:
| How you book | Rest of UK | London & South East |
|---|---|---|
| Standard mount (small/mid TV, 1 person) | £60 – £120 | £90 – £150 |
| Large TV (2 people needed) | £120 – £180 | £150 – £200+ |
| Add: concealed cables in wall | +£30 – £80 | +£40 – £100 |
| Add: bracket supplied | +£15 – £80 | +£20 – £90 |

TV Wall Mounting Cost By TV Size
Bigger screens weigh more, need a heavier bracket, and usually take two people to lift and hold level — so cost rises with size. These are typical fitting prices by TV size (bracket and cable concealment charged separately where needed):
| TV size | Rest of UK | London |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 43" (usually 1 person) | £60 – £90 | £90 – £130 |
| 44" – 55" | £70 – £110 | £100 – £160 |
| 56" – 65" (often 2 people) | £90 – £140 | £130 – £180 |
| 66"+ (2 people) | £120 – £180 | £160 – £200+ |
The bracket itself is a separate cost. A fixed flat bracket runs about £15–£30, a tilting bracket £25–£50, and a full-motion swing-arm bracket £40–£80+. Match the bracket to your TV's VESA mount (the spacing of the screw holes on the back) and to the screen's weight — a good handyman will check both before drilling.
What Affects The Cost Of TV Wall Mounting?
1. TV Size And Weight
Larger, heavier screens need a stronger bracket and a second person to fit safely. A 65-inch or bigger TV is both harder to handle and less forgiving if the bracket is not perfectly level, which is why it sits at the top of the range.
2. Wall Type
Solid brick or block is the quickest and cheapest to fix to. A stud wall needs the bracket bolted into the timber studs, sometimes with a batten added for a heavy TV. Plasterboard on dabs or a chimney breast with soft or hollow sections can need special fixings and extra care, adding time.
3. Cable Management
Leaving cables visible or in surface trunking is included in most quotes. Hiding cables inside the wall — with a power outlet relocated behind the TV — takes longer and may need a brush plate or conduit, typically adding £30–£80. Any new mains socket behind the screen is electrical work and should be done by a qualified electrician.
4. The Bracket
A basic fixed bracket is cheap; tilting and full-motion swing-arm brackets cost more and take a little longer to set up. If you supply the bracket yourself, make sure it matches the TV's size, weight and VESA pattern.
5. Location And Timing
London and the South East run 15–30% higher than the rest of the UK. Evening, weekend and same-day bookings also carry a premium over a standard weekday slot.
What's Included — And What's Not
Typically included:
- Locating studs or fixing points and drilling into the wall
- Attaching the bracket and hanging the TV level and secure
- Connecting the TV to devices you have ready and a basic tidy of visible cables
- Use of standard tools (drill, stud finder, spirit level)
Usually charged separately:
- The wall bracket, unless you supply your own
- Concealing cables inside the wall
- Any new power socket behind the TV (needs a qualified electrician)
- A soundbar, shelf or additional fittings mounted at the same time
Confirm what the quote covers before work starts, especially the bracket and cable routing.
Can You Do It Yourself?
Mounting a small TV on a solid brick wall is a realistic DIY job if you own a drill, a stud finder and a spirit level, and you are confident finding secure fixings. The savings are just the labour, and the risks are real: a bracket set into plasterboard alone, or into the wrong part of a stud wall, can pull out and bring an expensive screen down with it.
Call a professional for large or heavy TVs, stud and hollow walls, chimney breasts, or any job where cables need hiding. Two people can lift a big screen safely, and a handyman will pick the right fixings for your wall type and get the bracket perfectly level first time. Leave any new socket behind the TV to a qualified electrician.
How To Save Money On TV Wall Mounting
- Bundle it with other jobs — a single mount barely fills the minimum call-out, so add shelving, curtain fitting or repairs to the same visit.
- Buy your own bracket — pick one that matches your TV's size, weight and VESA pattern to avoid a supply markup.
- Skip in-wall cabling if budget is tight — tidy surface trunking costs far less than chasing cables into the wall.
- Have everything ready — clear the wall, move furniture and have the bracket and cables to hand.
- Book a standard weekday slot rather than evenings or weekends.
- Get 2–3 quotes and check whether the bracket and cable work are included.
How To Hire A Good TV Wall Mounter
A TV mount is usually a handyman job, but it pays to choose someone who fits screens regularly. Confirm they hold public liability insurance, ask for reviews, and get a written quote that states whether the bracket and cable concealment are included. Ask how they will fix to your wall type — a good tradesperson will want to know if it is brick, stud or plasterboard before quoting. Any new socket behind the TV should be handled by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does It Cost To Wall Mount A TV In The UK?
In 2026, TV wall mounting costs £60–£120 outside London and £90–£200 in London. Small and mid-size TVs mounted by one person sit at the lower end, while large screens needing two people and concealed cables cost more.
Does The Price Include The Bracket?
Usually not. The bracket is normally a separate cost of £15–£80 depending on type — fixed, tilting or full-motion. Many people supply their own; just make sure it matches the TV's weight and VESA mount pattern.
How Long Does It Take To Wall Mount A TV?
Most mounts take 45 minutes to 2 hours. A small TV on a solid wall is quick; a large screen, a stud or plasterboard wall, or hidden cables all add time.
How Much Does It Cost To Hide TV Cables In The Wall?
Concealing cables inside the wall typically adds £30–£80 on top of the mounting price, because it takes extra time and fixings. Running cables in surface trunking is cheaper. Any new power socket behind the TV needs a qualified electrician.
Can You Wall Mount A TV Yourself?
For a small TV on a solid brick wall, yes — with a drill, stud finder, spirit level and the right fixings. For large TVs, stud or plasterboard walls, chimney breasts, or hidden cabling, a professional is safer and gets a level, secure result first time.
Can A TV Be Mounted On A Plasterboard Or Stud Wall?
Yes, but it needs the right approach. On a stud wall the bracket bolts into the timber studs, sometimes with a batten for heavy screens; a plasterboard-only wall needs heavy-duty fixings. A handyman will locate the studs and choose fixings rated for your TV's weight.
