How to hire a tv mounting pro in United Kingdom
- Confirm wall type first — UK homes mix plasterboard on stud, dot-and-dab plasterboard over masonry, and solid brick, and each needs different fixings
- Check reviews on Checkatrade, MyBuilder, or TrustATrader that mention your wall type and TV size
- Ask for proof of public liability insurance (£1m-£2m is standard for handyman trades)
- If you want a new socket behind the TV, use an electrician registered with a Part P scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA)
- Agree the all-in price including the bracket (if supplied) and cable management before the visit
- For rented homes, get the landlord's written consent — drilling is an alteration under most tenancy agreements
TV mounting is unregulated handyman work in the UK, but installing a new socket or fused spur behind the TV is notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales — it must be done by a registered electrician or certified via building control. Low-voltage cable concealment is unrestricted.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy the TV mount myself?
Either works. Buying your own mount is usually cheaper — check it matches your TV's VESA pattern (the four bolt holes on the back, e.g. 400x400) and its rated weight. Many installers also sell mounts on the day at a markup of roughly 20-50% over retail. If you buy your own, tell the installer the model so they bring the right fixings.
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.
How do I find a good TV mounting service in Bedford?
Search for handymen or dedicated TV installers in Bedford with recent reviews that mention your wall type (drywall, brick, or concrete). Ask three things up front: the flat price for your TV size and wall type, whether they carry liability insurance, and whether cable concealment is included or an add-on. A good installer asks about your wall and TV model before quoting.
Can a soundbar or games console be installed at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper to bundle than to book twice. Soundbar brackets attach either to the wall below the TV or to the TV mount itself. Consoles and set-top boxes go on a small floating shelf or behind-TV bracket. Expect a modest add-on charge per extra device, plus cable management for each.
Can a TV be mounted on a dot-and-dab plasterboard wall?
Yes — dot-and-dab (plasterboard glued over brick or block, common in post-1980s UK homes) needs special fixings such as corefix bolts that pass through the board into the masonry behind. Standard plasterboard anchors alone are not safe for TVs over about 40 inches on these walls, so tell the installer if your wall sounds hollow but feels solid behind.
Do I need a Part P electrician just to hide the TV cables?
No. Hiding aerial and HDMI cables in the wall or in trunking is not notifiable work. Part P applies only if you add a new socket, fused spur, or extend a circuit behind the TV — that part must be done by a registered electrician (NICEIC/NAPIT) or notified to building control.
