TV Mounting in Jurong Town

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.

Most will, as a small add-on — typically a quarter to half the price of a fresh install. Dismount-and-remount in a new home (or after moving the sofa) is a standard job; mention it when booking so the installer brings patching filler for the old holes.

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.

Under 43 inches is a reasonable DIY job if you can find studs and use a level. From 55 inches up, a second pair of hands is essential and mistakes get expensive — a 65-inch panel weighs 20-25 kg and modern bezel-less screens crack easily if gripped wrong. Professionals also carry stud finders, cable detectors, and masonry drills most households lack.

In hollow drywall or plasterboard walls, yes — installers cut two small openings and drop low-voltage cables (HDMI, antenna) inside the cavity. Power cables usually cannot legally go in-wall as ordinary extension leads; the compliant options are an in-wall rated power relocation kit or a new outlet behind the TV installed by an electrician. On solid brick or concrete walls, cables run in paintable surface trunking instead.

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.

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.

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.
