How to hire a tv mounting pro in South Africa

  1. Expect brick walls — South African homes are overwhelmingly brick and plaster, so masonry drilling is standard
  2. Use installers with verifiable reviews (Google, Kandua) and ask for proof of insurance
  3. Confirm the callout fee and whether it is deducted from the job price
  4. Any new plug point must be installed by a registered electrician who can issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC)
  5. Agree the all-in price including bracket and trunking before the visit
  6. For complexes and estates, check whether security requires contractor pre-registration

TV mounting is unregulated in South Africa, but electrical work is not: any new socket must be done by an electrician registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, and the installation must be covered by a valid Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Brick walls make masonry fixing the default and in-wall concealment rare.

TV Mounting cost guide for South Africa

Frequently asked questions

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.

How long does TV mounting take?

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.

What is the difference between fixed, tilting, and full-motion mounts?

Fixed mounts sit flattest against the wall and are cheapest. Tilting mounts angle down 5-15 degrees — useful when the TV sits above eye level. Full-motion (articulating) mounts extend and swivel, which suits corner installs or rooms with multiple viewing positions; they cost the most and need the most secure fixing because the load hangs away from the wall.

Will the installer dismount my old TV or move an existing mount?

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.

What is a callout fee for TV mounting in South Africa?

Many SA handymen charge a callout of roughly R300-R500 to cover travel, usually credited against the job if you proceed. Always ask whether the quoted mounting price includes the callout — it is the most common source of price disputes.

Does load shedding affect TV installation appointments?

It can — installers using corded hammer drills may schedule around your area's load-shedding block, though most now carry cordless kit. Check your schedule and mention it when booking; a two-hour window either side avoids a wasted trip.
