TV Mount Mate’s fixed-price TV wall mounting starts from £79, with the final figure set by your TV size, wall type, bracket choice and any cable work involved. These are TV Mount Mate’s own starting prices for its service area, not a UK average, so when working out the cost to mount a TV in the UK, it is worth comparing what each installer’s quote actually includes rather than the headline price alone.
What TV Wall Mounting Starts From
| TV Size | Starting Price |
|---|---|
| Up to 32-inch | From £79 |
| 43-inch | From £90 |
| 50 to 75-inch | From £120 |
| 77 to 100-inch | Contact for a fixed quote |
These figures cover the standard installation. Add-ons are priced separately: TV brackets start from £40, soundbar fitting from £50, cable trunking from £30 and full cable concealment from £90. Fireplace mounting and specialist walls are priced individually, since the work involved varies too much for a fixed starting rate. For the complete list of rates and what each one includes, see TV Mount Mate’s current TV wall mounting prices.
Why TV Wall Mounting Prices Vary
A TV installation cost is rarely just about the bracket going on the wall. Several things change how long the job takes and what it needs.
TV size. Larger screens weigh more and often need two people to fit safely, along with stronger brackets and fixings rated for the extra load. That is a big part of why prices increase across the size bands above.
Wall type. Brick, hollow plasterboard, dot-and-dab and stud walls all require different fixing methods. A solid masonry wall normally takes masonry fixings. Hollow plasterboard may require suitable cavity fixings. With dot-and-dab, the fixing method must account for the gap behind the board and the solid wall beyond it. Stud walls require the frame position and available fixing points to be checked.
Bracket type. A flat bracket keeps the television close to the wall and creates less leverage at the fixing points than an extended full-motion bracket. A tilting bracket angles the screen downward, which can be useful when the TV sits above eye level. A full-motion bracket extends and turns, so the wall, screen weight and fixing positions need closer assessment, particularly on plasterboard.
Cable concealment and soundbar installation. Running cables inside the wall cavity takes more time than surface trunking and is only possible on certain wall types, which is why cable concealment is priced as an add-on rather than included as standard. Fitting a soundbar adds its own wiring and mounting work on top of the TV installation itself.
What to Check When Comparing Quotes
Understanding what changes the cost of wall mounting a TV makes it easier to compare quotes fairly rather than by headline price alone. Before booking, it is worth checking:
- Whether the bracket is included, or whether you need to supply your own
- Whether the price is fixed before work starts, or an estimate that could change on the day
- Whether cable trunking or full cable concealment is included, and which one is being quoted
- What level of insurance the installer carries
- What happens to the price if your wall turns out to be more complex than first thought
Is Professional TV Mounting Worth Paying For?
Whether it is worth paying for professional TV mounting depends on your wall, your DIY experience and the tools you already have. A professional installer will typically assess the wall, check likely cable and pipe routes, choose a suitable fixing method and mount the television level, which can be useful if you do not want to buy specialist fixings for a one-off job or are dealing with a heavier or larger screen.
TV Mount Mate has completed more than 6,000 installations over more than 10 years, is enhanced DBS-checked and insured up to £2 million, and backs every job with a one-year workmanship guarantee. Every quote is fixed before booking, with no deposit and payment on completion, and jobs are carried out directly by TV Mount Mate rather than a subcontractor or rotating team.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single reliable UK average because installers include different services within their quotes. TV size, wall type, bracket supply and cable work can all affect the price. TV Mount Mate's own fixed quotes start from £79 for appointments within its service area.
A 55-inch TV falls into TV Mount Mate's 50 to 75-inch band, which starts from £120. The final price still depends on wall type, bracket choice and whether cables are run in trunking or fully concealed.
For a straightforward wall and a bracket you already have, DIY may be enough if you are comfortable with it. For plasterboard, dot-and-dab or stud walls, heavier screens, or full cable concealment, a professional installer brings the fixings and experience to do the job in one visit.
Most TV installations take between 45 and 90 minutes. Larger screens, complex wall types and full cable concealment may take longer.
