A recent SW11 installation showed why the wall and cable route need to be checked before drilling. The television was to be mounted on a plasterboard wall with metal studs, and one stud sat directly in the proposed cable path.
During the initial assessment, the wall position and proposed cable route are reviewed so likely obstacles can be identified before the appointment. The fixing area is then checked before drilling. The same installer who assesses and quotes the job completes the work, with no subcontractors. A fixed quote is agreed before booking, with no deposit and payment on completion.

The job involved a 55-inch Samsung QLED on a plasterboard wall in SW11, fitted using a supplied tilting bracket. The customer wanted the cables hidden inside the wall rather than in trunking.
Before drilling, the wall was scanned to identify the metal-stud positions and check for indications of electrical cables. A stud was identified directly in the intended cable path. The route was adjusted, the bracket was secured using fixings suited to the wall, and the required connections were routed behind the plasterboard to a lower exit point. No cables were visible beneath the screen. More completed jobs are on the Recent Work page.
Metal studs can affect both the bracket fixing points and the route available for concealed cables. The correct fixing method depends on the television, bracket, wall build-up and available supporting structure. A stud can also block a straight vertical cable drop.
Scanning helps identify likely stud positions and possible cable routes, but the proposed fixing area is still checked before drilling. If a stud blocks the planned drop, the route or exit point can be changed before work continues. More information about hiding TV connections is available on the cable concealment page.
Bracket choice affects the viewing angle, how far the television projects from the wall and the clearance available for connections. A tilting bracket can help where a slight downward angle is useful, but the final screen position should be agreed before drilling.
The wall plate also needs enough clearance for power and device connections. Include the nearest socket in the wall photograph because its position may affect the bracket location or cable route.
Standard TV wall mounting is the core service, from bedroom screens to large OLED and QLED models. Samsung Frame, LG G-Series flush-mount designs and Sky Glass can be fitted where the wall and bracket suit them. Soundbar fitting, cable concealment where the wall allows it, and mounting above suitable fireplaces are available, along with commercial TV installation. Full details are on the main TV wall mounting service page.
The fixed quote covers the work agreed before booking. If additional work is requested or the supplied job details change, any price difference will be explained before work continues.
There is no deposit, payment is on completion, and the work carries a 1-year workmanship guarantee. Same-day and next-day appointments may be available depending on postcode and schedule.

Often, yes. Scanning helps identify stud positions, and if a stud blocks the planned route, the drop is adjusted before drilling. Where concealment is not practical, the alternative is discussed first.
