Masonry
Masonry fixing depends on reaching suitable material with an appropriate assessed system. Surface plaster and the presence of an old television do not establish that system.

TV Mounting for Greenwich Rooms
Use the panel’s full outline
In Greenwich, compare the television’s width and height with the actual opening on the wall. The diagonal printed on the box does not explain how close the edges will sit to furniture.
- Include the panel width as well as its diagonal
- Show the furniture below and beside the screen
- Explain the desired viewing angle
- Provide wall and bracket details for compatibility checks

The wall behind your chosen view
Keep structural questions in the room plan
Position, bracket type and fixing strategy influence one another. A full-motion proposal increases leverage, so apparent wall thickness alone cannot settle whether it is suitable.
Plasterboard
A boarded surface may conceal several different assemblies. Suitable support has to be established before approving the screen, especially where an arm will bring it forward.
Timber framing
Timber support has to coincide with a suitable fixing arrangement. The bracket’s slots and the position of sound framing need assessment together before the television centre is finalised.
Tiled / specialist
Tell us if the drilling area includes tile, stone or another fragile finish. The finish, backing and access can affect whether the position is practical.
Unsure
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.
No scanner can promise a complete picture inside the wall. The installation assessment must account for hidden-service risk alongside the strength and condition of support.
Equipment needs an accessible route
Keep useful connections behind a tidy screen
The illustration compares appearances, not two levels of an automatically included service. Agree what happens to each lead before work begins.
Visible connections / before planning
Identify what needs to remain reachable
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.
Do not treat a socket relocation as cable tidying. It must be separately agreed electrical work; burying ordinary mains flex does not provide an appropriate replacement.
Discuss a new socketIllustrated concepts are not a claim of a completed before-and-after project.
Greenwich / room by room
Look at the whole arrangement before marking
If a new console or sofa has been ordered, send its dimensions and intended position. A temporary piece of furniture should not quietly become the reference for a permanent screen location.
Show any shelves or wall features bordering the opening. The installation needs workable edge clearance, ventilation as specified by the manufacturer and access for the intended connections.
Describe your Greenwich installation ↗Turn preferences into a scope
Ask for an assessed installation quotation
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.
Request my mounting quote ↗| Installation | Pricing | Main variables |
|---|---|---|
| Standard fixed-bracket mounting | Quote after assessment | TV-to-mount fit, assessed fixings and the chosen screen location. |
| Large TV / full-motion bracket | Quote after assessment | Full-motion leverage, panel size and safe preparation and lifting. |
| Mounting + additional cable / electrical work | Detailed quote | Agreed cable method, electrical tasks and repair expectations. |
What to explain before the appointment
- Panel weight and manufacturer’s handling requirements
- Known wall build-up and any damaged areas
- Whether the arm stays flat or regularly extends
- Furniture near the proposed mounting height
- Building entry and the carrying path to the wall
- Support needed along the route and at the mount
- Where connected boxes sit and how leads reach them
- Power changes quoted as electrical work
- Removal and wall repairs specifically requested
- Specialist wall coverings declared in advance
Practical details
Questions about your Greenwich installation
What information matters when replacing an existing TV?
Send the replacement model and accessible details of the current bracket. Compare weight, VESA, panel dimensions and ports; a similar diagonal does not show which parts of the old arrangement can be retained.
Can one person install a lightweight but wide panel?
Handling requirements depend on the television’s construction and manufacturer guidance as well as weight. Width and awkward access can affect the support required, so the team should be confirmed after assessment.
Is surface containment necessarily part of basic mounting?
Specify it when requesting the quote, including the preferred path. Accessible connection and a neatly managed surface route have different work requirements from opening the wall for concealment.
What if structural timber does not align with the desired centre?
The bracket geometry and fixing arrangement must be assessed with the support position. A different location or mount may be needed; the visible centre should not be finalised by ignoring the structural constraint.
Will an extending arm pull on the wires?
The lead route must accommodate the movement agreed during assessment. Connections should be checked across that travel, with suitable allowance rather than tightly gathered cables that become taut as the screen turns.
Do I need to decide every cable detail now?
Describe the result you want and the devices involved, including anything uncertain. The assessment can then separate accessible connections from surface treatment, concealed routing, electrical alterations and associated repairs.
Can I choose the position from a photograph of another home?
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.
Will a bigger television fit between existing shelves?
Check actual width, height and required clearances rather than the diagonal. Include the shelf depths and any intended tilt or rotation, because the moving outline differs from the flat screen.
Can an upstairs installation be priced from the TV model?
The model helps, but stairs, landing turns, room access and the wall also affect the work. Include these details with any additional cable or removal requirements for an assessed quote.
Can cable planning approve the chosen wall?
No. A practical route does not establish structural support or remove hidden-service risks. The wall and fixing arrangement need assessment independently of the desired cable appearance.
Plan the finished arrangement
Record the choices that affect installation
Think about the room after furniture returns: where the TV rests, whether it turns and where equipment stays. These options prepare the conversation, while support, access and hardware are checked separately.
Your answers establish preferences rather than technical approval.

Do not buy the mount from inches alone
Send the TV’s full reference and any bracket already supplied. Model-specific information helps distinguish a genuine fit from an advertised range that appears suitable.
Smaller screens

Very large
A large screen can make a narrow landing, lift doorway or fixed console significant to the work. Show those restrictions rather than assuming the final wall photograph explains the handling needs.
A mount must match the TV’s VESA and load requirements, while its wall fixings suit the assessed support. These are linked checks rather than a single size-range tick box.
Compare the adjustments you will actually use
| 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 position where vertical adjustment serves the seated view | Vertical adjustment | Tilt cannot compensate for an unsuitable overall mounting height. |
| Full motion | A layout requiring a planned change of direction | Extend and swivel | Assess leverage at extension and clearance for panel corners. |
Make the position deliberate
Agree the centre before the first fixing
The plan view is illustrative and cannot set measurements for your installation. Use it to explain your watching position, furniture and the direction any screen movement should serve.
WINDOW / GLARE
SCREEN
VIEWING DISTANCE
SEATING
POWER + CONNECTIONSThe everyday viewpoint
Sit where you normally watch and describe the comfortable centre. Keep the media unit’s finished height in that discussion before marks are made.
Reflections worth showing
Include windows beside and opposite the proposed location. Describe any glare concern before selecting a mount to correct it.
Movement beside storage
Open doors and drawers near the proposed screen when taking photographs. Their everyday use needs to remain practical after mounting.
A route to each device
Describe where equipment will live after installation. A neat screen location needs usable power and signal connections, with extra work separately scoped.
A preferred feature may need reconsideration
Assess the fireplace and the view together
A chimney breast cannot be treated as ordinary empty wall. Heat, flue construction, concealed services and suitable fixing support require assessment before that location can be approved.
A technically possible point may still give a poor seated view. Discuss whether moving the television beside the feature would provide a workable lower position and clearer cable route.
Preparation questions
What to establish before arranging the visit
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.
Can wall linings affect the fixing method?
Yes. The assessed support behind the surface determines the approach; a smooth lining does not indicate the material or condition beneath it.
What TV specification is most useful?
The exact model number, actual weight and VESA details help assess compatibility. Width and height also matter around nearby furniture.
Does buying a premium mount remove wall checks?
No. Product quality does not establish the condition or capacity of the supporting wall or its fixing points.
Does a cleaner cable appearance require new electrics?
Not always, but any socket change is a separate electrical task. Describe the desired route so the actual requirements can be assessed.
Is the space above the fireplace usable?
Only after heat, flue, structure, services and viewing comfort have been assessed. Another wall may offer a more workable arrangement.
When is the mounting height agreed?
Before marking or drilling, using the intended seat and furniture arrangement rather than an assumed standard height.
Will the installers carry the TV upstairs?
Explain the starting location and route so handling can be included in the assessed scope. Do not assume the visit covers an unspecified carry.
Follow the load and the connections
A complete fit includes the room
The proposed screen has to work with its mount, the mount with suitable wall support, and the finished arrangement with the viewer. Review these relationships together.
| Factor | What is checked | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| TV | The screen’s real mass and its attachment details | Avoids transferring assumptions from an older television. |
| Bracket | Correct TV fasteners, spacers and rated movement | Avoids assuming any bolt kit or size range will do. |
| Wall | Sound supporting material and concealed-service risk | Guides fixings and may limit the proposed wall location. |
| Position | Seated centre, furniture clearance and the lifting approach | Keeps the fitted screen practical to watch and install. |
| Cables | Plug positions, available length and movement in use | Keeps routine viewing from straining the connections. |
An orderly mounting plan
Do the checks while choices remain open
Send the useful details
Provide model information, wall views, postcode and any additional tasks requested.
Establish suitable support
Assess construction and concealed-service risk with the preferred position still open to revision.
Match the hardware
Check VESA, weight rating and the required TV bolts and spacers against the actual models.
Set the final location
Agree the screen outline with the normal watching seat and furniture in mind.
Mount the wall hardware
Use the assessed fixing method and check the plate’s alignment before proceeding.
Support the final lift
Use the agreed handling assistance and check that the screen is correctly engaged and retained.
Connect the agreed equipment
Allow a practical cable route and sufficient freedom for the movement included in the plan.
Review the finished setup
Check basic function and alignment and explain how to use the adjustment safely.

The actual building conditions
Do not infer support from a property description
Assessment concerns the particular wall, screen and access route. A conversion, newer apartment or family house can each contain construction that needs further investigation.
Apartment preparation
Explain any entry appointment and the path to the room. Include equipment storage and furniture that reduces working space around the chosen wall.
Older finishes and alterations
Where decorative details or chimney breasts are present, provide a wider photograph and any known history of wall lining or previous changes.
Newer wall finishes
Relevant construction information can help the enquiry. A recent completion date alone does not approve the proposed wall or bracket.
A screen on another level
Include stair width, tight turns and furniture at the destination. The TV’s dimensions and handling guidance inform the required team.
Ask for a separate scope confirmation for a workplace, public room or other non-domestic setting.
The practical arrival details
Connect the address to the working area
Include full address-area information and any loading or parking restrictions in the enquiry. Describe who provides entry and the route through the building to the wall. Access requirements should be known while the handling plan and installation scope are assessed.
