What's included
- The wall checked before anything is drilledStud detector and a probe where needed. Plasterboard, dot and dab, solid brick and stud walls all need different fixings, and guessing is how televisions end up on the floor.
- Fixings rated for your TVCoach screws into timber, resin or heavy-duty anchors into masonry. I work to the bracket's stated load, not an estimate.
- Levelled and set at the right heightMeasured against your seating, not just centred on the wall.
- Cables sortedTucked behind the unit, run through trunking, or chased where the wall allows. Tell me what finish you want and I will tell you what is possible.
- Soundbars, shelves and bracketsFitted at the same time if you have them.
Common questions
Can you mount a TV on a plasterboard wall?
Usually yes, but it depends what is behind it. If there are studs in the right place the bracket goes into timber and it is solid. If not, heavy-duty plasterboard anchors can work for lighter sets. For a large TV on bare plasterboard with nothing behind it, I will tell you honestly if I do not think it is safe.
What about older Brighton and Hove properties?
Many older properties around Brighton are built with bungaroosh, a soft rubble and lime wall that does not hold fixings reliably. I will always use the best fixing for what is actually there, but if the wall is not sound enough to take the weight I will say so on the day rather than hang something that might come down.
Do you hide the cables?
Where the wall allows, yes. Trunking is the quick and reliable option and can be painted to match. Chasing cables into the wall is possible in some builds but is a bigger job.
