Typical Duration
30-45 mins
Location
Exeter, Devon
TV taken down from wall mounting, bracket removed, holes filled and touched up. Back on a stand or ready for redecorating.
Time to Come Off the Wall
Maybe you're redecorating and the wall-mounted TV's in the way. Maybe you've decided a stand is better. Maybe you're selling the TV. Whatever the reason, you need it off the wall without damaging it or leaving massive holes behind.
I'll disconnect everything properly, lift the TV off safely, remove the bracket, and fill the holes so they blend in. If you want it set up on a stand afterwards, I can do that too while I'm there.
💡 Pro tip: If you're redecorating, get the TV unmounted before the decorators start. They'll fill and paint over the holes as part of the job, and you won't have a TV in the way while they're working.

Why Choose Us for TV unmount in Exeter?
TV removed without damage
Wall holes filled and touched up
Cables disconnected properly
Bracket removed or left in place
What to Expect
Step 1: Safe Disconnection
I'll disconnect all the cables from the TV - power, HDMI, soundbar, aerial, whatever's plugged in. Everything labelled if you're setting it back up later.
Step 2: TV Removal
TV lifted carefully off the wall bracket. These things are more fragile than they look - the screens are thin and edges vulnerable.
Step 3: Bracket Removal & Repair
Bracket unscrewed from the wall, holes filled and touched up to blend in. If you want the bracket kept, it's bagged with all fixings.
🔧 DIY Tips
Attempting it yourself? Here's what to watch for:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Screwdriver for cable disconnection
- Socket set or screwdriver for bracket bolts
- Second person to help (essential)
- Filler and paint for wall repairs
- Somewhere safe to put the TV
📐 Safe removal process
- Disconnect all cables
- Check how TV releases from bracket (lift, tilt, or unscrew)
- One person supports while other releases
- Lift off together carefully
- Remove bracket and fill holes
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Doing it alone (asking for trouble)
- Yanking TV without checking release mechanism
- Dropping TV while taking it off
- Leaving massive holes in the wall
💡 Pro trick: Before removing the bracket, check if there's a safety screw or clip at the bottom of the TV. Most modern brackets have one to stop the TV accidentally lifting off. Don't force it - look for the release mechanism.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Redecorating? Perfect time to unmount. Get the TV down first, then the decorator can fill the holes as part of wall prep. Cleaner job all round.
Want it on a stand instead? If you've got the TV stand ready, I can set it up while I'm there. Means you've got a working TV again before I leave.
Older Exeter properties - Lath and plaster walls need a bit more care when removing brackets. The plaster can be fragile. I've done loads in period houses so I know how to remove brackets without taking half the wall with them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I want my TV unmounted?
Common reasons: you're redecorating and the TV's in the way, you want to sell the TV and use a different one, you're switching to a TV stand instead of wall mounting, or you're renting and need to take your TV but leave the bracket for the landlord.
Will you fill the wall holes?
Yes, included. I'll fill the bracket holes and touch them up. If you're redecorating, basic filling is fine - the decorator will sort the rest. If you want them invisible straight away, I can do a proper fill, sand and prime job.
Can I keep the bracket for later?
Yes, absolutely. I'll take it off carefully and bag all the screws with it. If you want to use it again in future, you've got everything you need. If you want it gone, I can take it for disposal.
What if I want to use a TV stand instead?
I can set the TV up on a stand for you while I'm there, as long as you've got the stand ready. Makes sense to get everything working again before I leave.
How long does unmounting take?
Usually about half an hour - disconnect cables, lift TV off bracket, remove bracket from wall, fill holes. If you want a really good cosmetic repair on the wall it might stretch to 45 mins.
