TV Mounting in Wong Tai Sin

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.

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.

Most TV mounting jobs are priced as a flat rate per TV, driven by three things: TV size, mount type (fixed, tilting, or full-motion), and wall material. Drywall or plasterboard with timber studs is the cheapest; brick, concrete, or above-fireplace installs cost more. Cable concealment is usually a separate add-on. Ask for the all-in price for your exact TV size and wall type before booking.

Not for the mounting itself. You need one only if you want a new power outlet behind the TV, since fixed wiring is electrician-only work in most countries. Many TV mounting companies partner with an electrician or offer the outlet as an add-on — ask when booking so it happens in one visit.

Most estates' deeds of mutual covenant and management offices restrict noisy works (including hammer drilling) to weekday daytime hours, often roughly 9am-6pm excluding Sundays and public holidays. Book your installer within those windows to avoid the job being stopped mid-way by the management office.

Every install is a concrete drill job — hammer drilling reinforced concrete takes longer and wears tools, and installers often carry rebar detectors to avoid cutting reinforcement. Cable concealment is trunking-only. The flat-rate quote reflects concrete work as the default, not an add-on.
