TV taken off the wall at your old place and remounted securely in your new home. Level, tidy cables, solid fixing. Watching TV the day you move in.
One Less Thing to Worry About on Moving Day
New house, boxes everywhere, kettle lost, but at least you can collapse on the sofa and watch TV that evening if it's mounted properly.
I'll get your TV back on the wall quickly - finding studs or solid masonry, mounting the bracket level, lifting the TV into place, and connecting everything up. Cables can be hidden properly or run in trunking depending on your wall type and preference.
💡 Pro tip: Book TV remounting for the afternoon of moving day or the day after. Once you know where the sofa's going, the TV position becomes obvious - and having it working gives you one small victory in the chaos of unpacking.

What to Expect
Step 1: Position Check
I'll check where you want it, find the studs or solid masonry behind the plaster, and confirm the position works for viewing and cable routing.
Step 2: Bracket Mounting
Wall plate fixed securely - either into studs if it's plasterboard, or with masonry fixings if it's brick/concrete. Everything level and solid.
Step 3: TV Up & Connected
TV lifted onto the bracket and secured. All cables connected, hidden in the wall cavity if possible, or run in trunking. Quick test and you're watching TV.
🔧 DIY Tips
Doing it yourself? Here's what you need to know:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Stud finder (essential for plasterboard walls)
- Spirit level (TV needs to be level)
- Drill and appropriate drill bits
- Screwdrivers
- Socket set (for bracket assembly)
- Someone to help lift the TV
📐 Getting it right
- Use a stud finder - plasterboard alone won't hold a TV
- Mount at eye level when seated (not up by the ceiling)
- Ensure bracket is level before drilling all holes
- Test weight capacity before hanging expensive TV
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Drilling into plasterboard with no stud (TV falls off within weeks)
- Mounting too high (years of neck ache ahead)
- Not checking bracket is level (can't unsee wonky TV)
- Cables left dangling like spaghetti
💡 Pro trick: In plasterboard walls, if there's no stud exactly where you want the TV, use a timber batten fixed horizontally into multiple studs. Then mount the TV bracket to the batten. Gives you flexibility on positioning while still being solid.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📺 Bring your bracket? If you've got the wall bracket from your old place, bring it along. As long as it's the right size for your TV and undamaged, I can reuse it. If not, I can supply a suitable one.
Cable hiding options - If your wall has a cavity I can fish cables down inside it (looks cleanest). If it's solid wall, we can use trunking that matches your wall colour. Both look miles better than loose cables.
Older Exeter properties - Solid brick walls are common in period houses. They take slightly different fixings than plasterboard but are actually more secure once mounted. Your TV's not going anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use my existing wall bracket?
Usually yes, as long as it's the right size for your TV and in good condition. I'll check it's suitable and safe. If it's damaged or the wrong type, I can supply a new one that'll work better.
What if the wall in my new place is different (plasterboard vs brick)?
I carry fixings for all wall types - cavity fixings for plasterboard, masonry bolts for brick and concrete, specialist fixings for dot-and-dab walls. The bracket gets mounted securely regardless of what's behind the plaster.
Can you hide the cables properly?
Yes - I can run cables down inside the wall cavity if possible, or use trunking that matches your wall colour. Let me know when booking if tidy cabling is important and I'll bring the right kit.
Do I need to have decided exactly where I want it before you arrive?
Rough idea is fine. When I arrive we can check the viewing angles, where studs are, and cable routes. Sometimes the 'perfect' spot turns out to have no stud behind it, so a few inches to the side works better. I'll advise on site.
How long before I can use the TV after mounting?
Immediately. Once it's on the wall, I'll connect everything up and make sure it's working. You can be watching TV within minutes of me finishing.
