Key takeaways
- Most tv mounting jobs in Cyprus land between €30–€230 — known locally as tv wall mounting.
- TV mounting is unregulated in Cyprus; electrical installation work is overseen by the Electromechanical Services Department and should be done by licensed electricians. Homes are almost universally brick or reinforced concrete, so cable concealment usually means surface trunking rather than in-wall runs.

What affects the price
- Job size and scope — bigger or more complex jobs move you up the ranges above.
- Access and condition — hard-to-reach areas, older properties or neglected maintenance add labour time.
- Materials and quality level — where materials are involved, the grade you choose often matters more than labour.
- Urgency — same-day or out-of-hours work usually carries a premium.
- Where you live — large metros in Cyprus typically run above the national range; smaller towns below it.
How to save
- Get at least three quotes and compare like-for-like scopes, not just totals.
- Be flexible on timing — off-peak slots are often cheaper.
- Bundle related tasks into one visit to spread call-out costs.
- Agree the scope in writing up front to avoid change-order surprises.
How to hire a tv mounting pro in Cyprus
- Expect brick or concrete walls — Cypriot homes are overwhelmingly masonry, so masonry drilling is the default
- Ask whether the handyman carries liability insurance (less standardised in Cyprus — worth asking explicitly)
- Confirm the price includes the bracket or specify your own with the VESA size
- For a new socket, use an electrician licensed by the Electromechanical Services Department (EMS)
- Agree cable finish up front — trunking is the norm on masonry walls
- Get the quote in writing, including any call-out fee for villages outside the main towns
Red flags
- No written quote or receipt
- Plastic wall plugs proposed for a large TV on hollow brick
- Undisclosed travel surcharge for out-of-town jobs
- Offers socket wiring without an EMS-licensed electrician
- No guarantee on the fixing

Frequently asked questions
What happens if the installer damages my wall or the TV falls?
A professional installer should carry public liability insurance that covers wall damage and a dropped or fallen TV. Ask for proof before booking, and ask whether they guarantee their fixings (many offer 12 months or lifetime on workmanship). Keep the receipt — home insurance claims for fallen TVs often hinge on showing it was professionally installed.
How long does TV mounting take?
A standard install on a stud or masonry wall takes 30-90 minutes. Add 1-2 hours if cables are being concealed inside the wall, and more again for above-fireplace installs or walls that need reinforcement. Book a 2-hour window to be safe.
Can a TV be mounted on a brick or concrete wall?
Yes — brick and concrete are actually stronger than drywall for mounting. The installer uses a hammer drill and masonry anchors (sleeve or wedge anchors). It costs more than a stud wall because drilling is slower and cable concealment usually has to run in surface trunking rather than inside the wall.
Can I mount a TV in a rental apartment?
Usually only with the landlord's written permission, since mounting leaves 4-6 anchor holes. Many tenancy agreements class it as an alteration. Alternatives that need no drilling: a TV floor stand, or a heavy-duty easel-style mount. If you do get permission, keep the mount and ask the installer to patch holes when you move out — it is a quick filler-and-paint job.
Are TV mounting prices in Cyprus closer to UK or local wage levels?
Local wage levels — expect roughly half to two-thirds of UK rates for the same job. English-speaking expat-focused handymen in Paphos and Limassol sometimes charge a premium over Greek-Cypriot local rates, so compare at least two quotes.
Can cables be hidden inside walls in Cypriot homes?
Rarely — walls are solid brick or concrete with no cavity. Installers run cables in slim paintable trunking, or chase a channel into the wall during renovation-level works. If a socket move is involved, use an EMS-licensed electrician.
