Wall Assessed
The wall type and proposed fixing position are considered before work starts.
Secure fitting and a tidy finish
Professional TV Wall Mounting
Aerial & Satellite Express provides professional TV wall mounting for living rooms, bedrooms, offices and other suitable spaces. A local installer can assess the wall, check bracket compatibility, agree the screen position, mount and level the television, and discuss practical cable-management options.
The correct fitting method depends on the television, bracket, wall construction, viewing position and nearby connections. These details are checked before drilling or mounting begins.
Same-day appointments are available where possible. Final cost depends on the screen, wall, bracket, access and cable work.
Bracket Checked
The bracket must suit the television size, weight and mounting pattern.
Carefully Levelled
The agreed screen position is measured, mounted and checked for a tidy finish.
Connections Planned
Power, aerial, satellite, HDMI and other cable routes can be discussed in advance.
TV Wall Mounting Planned Around Your Room
A secure installation starts with the wall and the television, not the drill. The installer considers the screen dimensions and weight, the bracket specification, the wall structure and the availability of suitable fixing points.
Viewing comfort is equally important. The best height depends on the normal seating position, viewing distance, screen size, room layout and possible reflections. The proposed position can be checked with you before holes are drilled.
This page covers wall mounting for standard televisions. Sky Glass has different weight and fitting considerations, so use our dedicated Sky Glass wall mounting page for that service. For an integrated audio and video system, see home cinema installation.

Choosing the Right TV Wall Bracket
Fixed Bracket
Keeps the television close to the wall in a set position. It suits rooms where the viewing angle and connection access do not need regular adjustment.
Tilt Bracket
Allows limited vertical angle adjustment, which can help when the screen must sit above the normal eye line or when reflections need managing.
Full-Motion Bracket
Can extend and turn the screen for different viewing positions. The wall, bracket, television weight and movement clearance need particular attention.
The bracket must be rated for the television and match its fixing pattern. Screen size alone is not enough to confirm compatibility.
Wall Types and Suitable Fixing Points
Brick or Block Walls
A sound solid wall may provide suitable support when the correct position and fixings are used. Surface condition and nearby services still need consideration.
Stud and Plasterboard Walls
The structure, stud positions and available support must be identified. Plasterboard alone should not be assumed to support a television and bracket safely.
Chimney Breasts and Fireplaces
Heat, wall construction, viewing height, hidden flues and cable routes can make these positions more complex. The location should be assessed before installation is agreed.
TV Cable Management Options
Surface trunking can provide a neat, accessible route for power and signal cables. More concealed routes depend on wall construction, cable lengths, ventilation and the work agreed. New mains sockets or electrical alterations may require a suitably qualified electrician.
Tell the installer about aerial, satellite, HDMI, network, games-console and soundbar connections before the bracket position is finalised.
How TV Wall Mounting Works
Discuss the Installation
Share the TV model, wall type, bracket and preferred position.
Assess and Measure
The installer checks the wall, mounting points, viewing height and cables.
Mount and Connect
The bracket and television are fitted, levelled and connected as agreed.
Final Check
The installation, viewing position, inputs and cable finish are reviewed.
Prepare for the Appointment
- Have the television, stand parts and remote ready
- Keep the bracket, fixings and instructions together
- Clear furniture and fragile items from the wall
- Identify every device that will be connected
- Make sure power and signal sockets are accessible
- Mention hidden services or previous wall repairs
Moving or Replacing a TV?
The team can also discuss removal of an existing wall-mounted television and fitting of a replacement. The old bracket may only be reused if it remains suitable for the new screen and the wall fixings can be assessed safely.
Tell the team in advance if the old television needs to be moved to another room.

TV Wall Mounting FAQs
Can any television be wall mounted?
Many modern televisions can be wall mounted, but the screen must have suitable mounting points and the bracket must match its fixing pattern, size and weight. The wall must also provide suitable support.
Which TV wall bracket do I need?
The bracket must match the television mounting pattern and weight rating. Choose fixed, tilt or full-motion movement based on the room, viewing angle and connection access.
Can a TV be mounted on plasterboard?
It may be possible if the structure, studs and suitable fixing points are identified. Plasterboard alone should not be assumed to provide adequate support.
Can you mount a TV above a fireplace?
Sometimes, but heat, wall construction, hidden flues, viewing height and cable routes need assessment. Another position may be recommended if the proposed location is unsuitable.
Can the TV cables be hidden?
Cable options depend on the wall and the equipment. Surface trunking is often practical; concealed routes may require additional work, and electrical alterations may need a qualified electrician.
How high should a TV be mounted?
The right height depends on screen size, seating position, viewing distance and room layout. The proposed position should be checked from the normal viewing seats before drilling.
Can you reuse my existing TV bracket?
Only if it is compatible with the new television, in suitable condition and still securely supported by the wall. The installer should assess it before reuse.
How much does TV wall mounting cost?
Cost depends on the television, wall, bracket, access, cable route and additional connections. Provide those details for an estimate; final requirements can be confirmed after assessment.
