Key takeaways
- Most tv mounting jobs in Singapore land between SGD 40–SGD 250 — known locally as tv bracket installation.
- No licence is needed for TV bracket installation in Singapore, but HDB renovation guidelines prohibit drilling into structural members (columns, beams, reinforced walls), and any new power point must be installed by an electrical worker licensed by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). Most walls are concrete, so hammer-drilling and surface trunking are the norm.
- Prices below are researched national ranges, updated July 2026 — not quotes.

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 Singapore 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 Singapore
- Tell the installer whether it is an HDB flat, condo, or landed home — HDB concrete walls are the default and every installer prices for them
- Do not allow drilling into structural columns, beams, or the reinforced-concrete lift core wall in HDB flats; a good installer will identify and avoid them
- Check reviews on Carousell, Google, or platforms like Kaodim-successors that mention your TV size
- Confirm whether the quoted price includes the bracket — many SG installers bundle a basic fixed bracket
- For a new power point, use an EMA-licensed electrical worker
- Agree cable finishing up front: in SG concrete walls, concealment means surface trunking, not in-wall runs
Red flags
- Willing to drill into an HDB structural beam or column
- Quote excludes the bracket and doubles on arrival
- No mention of concrete drilling in the price (all HDB walls are concrete or masonry)
- Cash-only with no warranty on the fixing
- Offers to add a power point without an EMA-licensed electrician

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.
Do I need an electrician for TV mounting?
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.
Is it safe to mount a TV above a fireplace?
Yes if done properly, but check two things: heat (run the fireplace for 30 minutes and confirm the wall above stays below about 40C / 100F, or fit a mantel to deflect heat) and viewing angle (a pull-down or tilting mount stops neck strain). Above-fireplace installs cost more because the wall is usually brick or stone and cable routing is harder.
How much does it cost to mount a TV?
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.
Can I mount a TV on any wall in an HDB flat?
Most walls yes, but not structural columns, beams, or reinforced-concrete walls (commonly the wall around the bomb shelter/store room). Drilling into structural members breaches HDB renovation rules. An experienced installer identifies safe walls on sight; partition walls in newer BTO flats may be drywall panels needing special anchors.
Why is in-wall cable concealment rare in Singapore?
Because HDB and most condo walls are solid concrete — there is no cavity to drop cables into. Installers instead use slim paintable PVC trunking, typically included or a small add-on. True concealed wiring requires hacking a channel into concrete, which is a renovation-scale job requiring an HDB permit for certain walls.
