TV taken down from current position and remounted securely in a better location. Old holes filled, new position mounted level and solid. Cables rerouted neatly.
Got Your TV in the Wrong Place?
Mounted the TV yourself ages ago and it's been annoying you ever since - too high, wrong wall, bad viewing angle from the sofa? Or you've rearranged the room and now the TV's in a daft spot?
I'll take it down properly, fill the old holes, and remount it in the right position this time. Secured into studs or masonry, level first time, cables hidden or tidy. One afternoon and it's sorted for good.
💡 Pro tip: The perfect TV height is eye level when you're sat on your sofa - not up by the ceiling like a pub. If your neck aches watching TV, it's mounted too high.

🔧 DIY Tips
Attempting it yourself? Here's the process:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Stud finder (for finding new mounting position)
- Spirit level (TV must be level)
- Drill and bits for new fixings
- Filler and touch-up paint for old holes
- Help lifting the TV safely
📐 Remounting process
- Disconnect and carefully remove TV from bracket
- Unscrew old wall bracket, fill holes
- Find studs in new location
- Mount new bracket level and secure
- Rehang TV and reconnect cables
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not filling old holes properly (they show for years)
- Mounting in new position without checking for studs
- Lifting expensive TV alone (recipe for disaster)
- Forgetting to check cable routing before drilling
💡 Pro trick: Before filling the old holes, check if they'll be hidden by furniture or pictures. If so, basic filling is fine. If they'll be visible, take time to fill properly, sand smooth, and prime before touching up with paint.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Redecorating soon? Perfect time to remount. The decorator can fill the old holes as part of prep work, and I'll remount after painting's done. Everything ends up clean and tidy.
Can't find the TV bracket screws? Not a problem. I carry spares for most common bracket types. If your TV's rare, I can match the thread and length needed.
Older properties - If you're in a period Exeter house with lath-and-plaster walls, remounting needs extra care. The plaster can be fragile and studs might not be standard spacing. I've done loads in older houses, so I know what works.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need to remount my TV?
Common reasons: you've rearranged furniture and the viewing angle's now wrong, the original position was too high, you want to move it to a different wall entirely, or you've had a new sofa and the height's no longer right. Whatever the reason, moving it properly means secure fixing and tidy finish.
Will you fill the old holes in the wall?
Yes, I'll fill the old bracket holes and touch them up so they blend in. If you're redecorating anyway, basic filling is fine. If you want them invisible, I can fill, sand, and prime them ready for painting or to match your existing wall.
What if the new position has no stud behind it?
Couple of options: we can move a few inches to where there is a stud, use specialist heavy-duty cavity fixings rated for the TV weight, or fit a horizontal timber batten between studs and mount to that. I'll advise which is best for your situation.
Can you do it while I'm redecorating?
Yes, good time to do it actually. If walls are being repainted, we can remount after painting's done, and the old holes get covered by the decorator anyway. Just coordinate timing so paint's dry before I mount the bracket.
How long does remounting take?
Usually about an hour - take TV off old bracket, remove old bracket, fill holes, mount new bracket in new position, hang TV, reconnect cables. If cable routing is complex or lots of filling needed, it might stretch to 1.5 hours.
