What TV Wall Mounting Work FixWell Carries Out
FixWell fits TV brackets to both solid masonry and plasterboard walls, verifying the wall structure with a stud finder before drilling, and selects fixings rated to the television's weight rather than a generic wall plug. A cable-tidy conduit is fitted where the customer wants cables concealed between the TV and the nearest socket or skirting.
Fixing a TV Bracket to Solid Masonry Walls
Salisbury's Victorian and Edwardian terraces typically have solid brick or stone walls, which need masonry plugs and screws rated to the television's weight rather than the standard plugs sold with most brackets, the same wall-type consideration FixWell applies on its shelf installation jobs. A 55-inch TV on a full-motion bracket puts considerably more load and leverage on its fixings than the same TV on a flush bracket, so the fixing spec changes with the bracket type, not just the wall type.
Fixing a TV Bracket to Plasterboard/Stud Walls
A stud-located fixing is always preferred over a cavity anchor where one is available, since a timber or metal stud takes the television's weight far more securely than plasterboard alone. Where a stud doesn't line up with the bracket's fixing points, a load-rated cavity anchor is used instead, sized to the bracket and TV weight.
Choosing the Right TV Bracket
A fixed bracket holds the TV flush against the wall and suits a room where the viewing angle is already direct. A tilting bracket allows the screen to angle downward, useful when the TV sits above eye level, over a fireplace for example. A full-motion articulating bracket extends and swivels, suited to a room where viewing position changes, such as a kitchen-diner.
Cost and Cable Concealment
A fixed bracket fitting typically costs £60–£100. A tilting or full-motion articulating bracket costs £80–£140, reflecting the extra fixing points and adjustment involved. Cable concealment, using a chase into the wall or a surface cable-tidy conduit, adds £30–£80 depending on the route length and wall type.
Do You Want the Cables Fully Hidden | Does That Need Extra Work?
A cable-tidy conduit running down to an existing socket or skirting is a straightforward addition to a mounting job. Fully hiding the cable inside the wall, or moving the power socket itself to sit directly behind the TV, touches electrical work that falls under Part P of the Building Regulations, and FixWell's electrical repairs service in Salisbury covers that side of the job separately.
Mounting a TV in a Rented Property
A tenant wanting a TV mounted should confirm with their landlord before any drilling takes place, since wall fixings usually fall under what a tenancy agreement restricts without permission. FixWell's landlord property maintenance service in Salisbury works directly with several local landlords, so a tenant can also ask their landlord to book the work through FixWell directly.
Batching TV Mounting with Other Odd Jobs
A minimum call-out charge applies to all bookings, so a TV mount combined with a shelf installation or another small task in the same visit brings the effective cost per job down. This is the same batching approach covered on FixWell's odd jobs page for Salisbury.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to mount a TV on the wall in Salisbury?
£60–£140 depending on the bracket type. A fixed bracket sits at the lower end of that range; a tilting or full-motion bracket, which needs more precise fixing and adjustment, sits toward the higher end.
Can you mount a TV on a brick or stone wall?
Yes. Masonry plugs and screws rated to the television's weight are used, matched to the wall type and drilled with the correct bit for stone or brick to avoid cracking the surrounding surface.
Can you hide the cables so none are visible?
Yes, using a cable-tidy conduit from the TV down to the nearest socket or skirting. Fully chasing a cable into the wall, or relocating the socket itself, is a separate job that touches electrical work.
What size TV can you mount?
Any size, provided the bracket's VESA compatibility and weight rating match the television. FixWell confirms this at the quote stage rather than working to a fixed size limit.
Can you mount a sound bar at the same time?
Yes, as a simple addition to the same visit. A sound bar bracket is fitted using the same wall-type assessment as the TV bracket above it.
