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
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.
Can the cables be hidden inside the wall?
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.
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.
What size TV actually needs professional mounting?
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.
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.
