Is there a fixed rate based on inches?
The quote follows the assessed installation rather than the diagonal alone. Wall condition, bracket, access and additional tasks all influence the work.
Whitechapel · Home technology, considered
Plan from the shared door to the viewing seat
For a Whitechapel apartment installation, describe both arrival and the intended screen position. Building access, panel width and furniture clearance belong in the same brief.


Whitechapel / room by room
If your entrance uses a concierge, entry code or booked loading slot, confirm the arrangement with the relevant person. Do not send security codes publicly; agree how the visiting team will gain access.
Inside the room, show doors in their open position where they approach the proposed television. A wall plate may fit neatly while the wider screen would interfere with the door or a fitted cupboard.
Describe your Whitechapel installation ↗The model is the starting evidence
A description such as 65-inch leaves important questions open. Provide the model so mounting-hole position, weight and manufacturer handling requirements can be considered.
Two equal-size screens can differ in rigidity, weight and mounting details. The lifting plan should reflect the actual panel and access route rather than a blanket rule based on inches.
Hardware compatibility includes VESA, rated load, bolts and spacers. The assessed wall fixing strategy remains necessary even when the bracket fits the back of the TV.
| Bracket | Best suited for | Movement | Key consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | A settled position facing the principal seat | Minimal | Its limited adjustment makes early centre and height decisions important. |
| Tilt | A screen needing vertical angle refinement | Vertical adjustment | Check the edge clearance throughout the chosen tilt. |
| Full motion | An additional viewing direction worth accommodating | Extend and swivel | The complete panel must clear the room, not only the bracket arm. |


Choices that affect the job
The quote follows the assessed installation rather than the diagonal alone. Wall condition, bracket, access and additional tasks all influence the work.
No. Screen compatibility and suitable wall support are different checks; both must be satisfied for the intended load and movement.
Only after the mount, screen attachments and wall fixings have been assessed against the replacement specification and current condition.
Only when its movement serves a real viewing need and the support, panel clearance and cables can accommodate it.
Yes, describe the exact finish wanted. Surface management, concealed routes, electrical work and making good need clearly agreed boundaries.
Not automatically. Comfort, heat, flue, support and service risks must still be considered; another location may be preferable.
It can change the viewing relationship. Share the intended final seating position before height and centre are fixed.
Explain the starting location and route so handling can be included in the assessed scope. Do not assume the visit covers an unspecified carry.
Practical visit information
A postcode identifies the address area, not the carrying route. Tell us about shared doors, building instructions and loading restrictions, then explain how the screen and equipment reach the room. Resolve any necessary access arrangements before booking.
For the wider service scope, see TV mounting in London .
Load the map when you need it.
Open map in a new tabSupport before symmetry
A television can look centred on a wall while its proposed fixing points are unsuitable. Room alignment must be reconciled with dependable support and concealed-service considerations.
For brick or block, condition and the exact fixing location matter. Old mortar, previous holes or deteriorated material can change the mounting proposal and require further assessment.
Plasterboard is a finish within a wall assembly, not a universal load rating. Identify suitable backing or structural support for the particular screen and bracket.
With timber construction, check sound support at the required positions. A wall plate that reaches framing still needs an appropriate fixing arrangement and compatibility review.
A specialist surface can make the preferred centre harder to achieve. Supply photographs before work is agreed so drilling requirements and potential finish risks can be considered.
Where construction is uncertain, preserve that uncertainty in the brief. An installer may need to revise the proposed centre or decline the location after assessment.
Pipes and cables may not follow assumptions drawn from the visible room. Detection assists investigation but cannot guarantee that all concealed services have been located.
Before buying the bracket
Use the choices to describe your intended viewing arrangement, not to select a fixing method. If two positions are being considered, include both in the message with the screen model and clear room photographs.
No selection here confirms compatibility, availability or a quoted price.

Send this setup by email ↗Need a new socket? Plan the electrical work separately
Choose a comfortable reference
Use the schematic to identify the relationships to discuss. It does not supply a standard height or replace measurements of your own screen and furniture.
If a new sofa or console is coming, provide its planned dimensions. The current temporary arrangement need not set the permanent mounting centre.
A photograph taken at midday may miss evening reflections. Explain when glare occurs and which seat is affected.
Open doors and drawers near the proposed screen when taking photographs. Their everyday use needs to remain practical after mounting.
Show radiators, sockets and fireplace features rather than cropping them out. They can affect both the position and the service-risk assessment.
Consider the whole fireplace arrangement
Structural support alone does not make an above-fireplace location suitable. The assessment must also address heat, the flue or chimney and concealed wiring or pipework.
Even where technical conditions allow mounting, the height may not serve the usual seat. A different wall can change the connection plan, so assess the complete alternative rather than moving the mark alone.

Connections after the screen is hung
The illustration is a starting point for discussing lead routes. Your wall, socket position and devices determine which treatment is practical and what extra work is needed.
Mention ports you change frequently and equipment kept in cupboards. A planned surface route may be sufficient; concealed routing needs assessment and an explicit agreement about any wall repairs.
New sockets are electrical work, distinct from connecting a television. An ordinary power flex inside a wall is not a substitute for a correctly planned electrical installation.
Discuss a new socketDrawings show concepts only and do not document one installation.
Turn preferences into a scope
Tell us which TV you have, which mount is proposed and what surrounds the wall. The postcode and route into the room are useful alongside your preferred cable treatment.
No price is established by selecting a diagonal or bracket option. The assessment needs to identify the work, team and any separately agreed alterations before a quote can describe the result.

Compatibility is not one measurement
Screen size cannot approve a bracket, and bracket capacity cannot approve a wall. The assessment brings the TV specification, structure, position and connections into one proposal.
| Factor | What is checked | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| TV | Exact model, mounting pattern and stated screen weight | Prevents relying on the diagonal as a load specification. |
| Bracket | Rating, VESA range and complete attachment components | Confirms more than the ability to align some holes. |
| Wall | The construction at the fixing points and service risks | Identifies suitable support and constraints on drilling. |
| Position | Seat relationship, furniture outline and panel travel | Avoids fitting a compatible screen in an unusable position. |
| Cables | Rear connector clearance and the intended cable route | Allows the selected mount to function with devices attached. |
From enquiry to an agreed view
Provide the screen and mount information, room photographs and desired cable result.
Check wall condition, support and hidden-service risk at the proposed location.
Confirm load rating, VESA compatibility and the correct TV-side hardware before assembly.
Use the intended furniture layout to agree the final height and horizontal position.
Use the assessed fixing method and check the plate’s alignment before proceeding.
Follow the handling plan with sufficient support and verify the mount’s locking features.
Use the agreed accessible connections, leaving cables appropriate for the intended travel.
Review basic operation, alignment and adjustment with the fitted screen and devices.

The building is part of the brief
Different rooms in one property can require different fixing approaches. Give information about the chosen wall and preparation area instead of treating the address as a construction specification.
State who admits the team and any restrictions on unloading or lifts. The route onwards to the wall matters as much as entry to the building.
Where an older room has decorative details or a chimney breast, show the complete arrangement and mention known changes beneath the surface.
If a refurbishment introduced linings or new partitions, identify them where known. A freshly painted face can hide the support details needed for assessment.
Include stair width, tight turns and furniture at the destination. The TV’s dimensions and handling guidance inform the required team.
Non-domestic installations need a specifically confirmed brief rather than assumptions drawn from a residential mounting request.
Practical details
Photograph each from the normal watching seat and show the associated windows, furniture and sockets. Explain which items can move so the alternatives can be assessed as complete room arrangements.
No. Visual symmetry is only one preference, and that location still needs assessment of heat, flue, support and concealed services. A different wall or offset position may provide a more comfortable view.
Share the console’s finished height, depth and intended position. Its dimensions can inform the screen outline, but the final mounting location should be agreed with the planned seating and connection route as well.
The usable movement depends on the actual panel dimensions and nearby walls or furniture, not just the bracket’s advertised range. The proposed travel also needs appropriate wall support and cable allowance.
Tilting changes the angle but does not automatically make a high position comfortable. Discuss the reason for the height and compare alternatives from the usual seat before accepting the mounting centre.
Show the door open in the enquiry photographs and provide its relationship to the proposed screen. Check the complete panel and any bracket movement so storage remains usable after installation.
A reference can explain the look you like, but it cannot specify your height or fixings. Your seating, furniture, screen model and actual wall construction require their own assessment.
It is one constraint rather than a complete positioning rule. Show the preferred viewing location and existing power so any change in cable route or electrical provision can be assessed explicitly.
Identify both the normal seat and the additional view. A moving bracket may be useful if support and clearance allow, but the plan should define the movement you need rather than assume maximum extension.
Confirm the intended centre and height, panel edges, furniture clearance and connection arrangement, alongside suitable support and service-risk assessment. Changes are easier to discuss while the location is still a proposal.
The room comes first
Plan your Whitechapel television installation around both apartment access and the final view. Include how the team reaches the room, what the wall is known to contain and where the devices will sit. Include the exact TV and bracket models, wall photographs and postcode. Identify any additional work you want separately assessed.
