Because A Crooked Whiteboard Drives Everyone Mad
Whiteboards are simple... until you're staring at a wonky one during every meeting. One corner drooping, pen tray slanted, the whole thing driving you slowly insane. Let me mount it properly - level, secure, and solid.
💡 Pro tip: Mount whiteboards so the centre is at average eye level when standing - makes them way more usable than mounting them too high.
Why Proper Mounting Matters
Bodge a whiteboard and it's obvious to everyone in the room.

|---|---|
| Perfectly level | Visibly wonky, annoying |
| Anchored into studs/brick | Falls off wall mid-meeting |

What to Expect

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting your own whiteboard? Here's how to get it level:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Spirit level (long one)
- Drill and appropriate drill bits
- Wall plugs or stud anchors
- Screwdriver
- Pencil
- Tape measure
- Stud finder (for plasterboard walls)
📏 Planning
- Decide on height - centre should be roughly eye level when standing
- Find wall studs if plasterboard (must anchor into these)
- Check there's nothing behind the wall (pipes, cables)
- Measure and mark centre position first
🔩 Mounting process
- Mark bracket positions using a level - one bracket wrong ruins everything
- Drill pilot holes first (prevents wall crumbling)
- Use proper wall plugs for solid walls, anchors into studs for plasterboard
- Mount brackets, check level again before hanging board
- Hang board and test stability before walking away
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Relying on floor/ceiling for level (they're rarely true)
- Mounting too high - unusable for shorter people
- Screwing into plasterboard without hitting studs (board falls off)
- Not checking bracket spacing matches board mounting holes
- Pen tray not level with board bottom (looks terrible)
💡 Pro trick: Mount the brackets slightly higher than you think - whiteboards are easier to use if positioned for standing height, and people can still use them sitting down if needed. And always use a proper 120cm spirit level, not a tiny one - small levels hide significant slope.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🖊️ Glass whiteboard? Much heavier than regular ones - needs more substantial wall fixings. Worth it though, they look amazing and write beautifully.
Multiple boards? Doing several for a meeting room or office? Much quicker to do them all together while I'm set up.
Exeter offices? Loads of meeting rooms and home offices around Exeter have older buildings with thick walls - actually perfect for whiteboard mounting, proper solid fixings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it be level?
Absolutely - whiteboards scream wonky if they're even slightly off. I use a proper level and mark it carefully before drilling. Your eye will thank you every time you look at it.
Can you fit it to any wall?
Most walls yes - plasterboard needs anchoring into studs, solid walls get proper wall plugs. Glass whiteboards are heavier so need more substantial fixings. I'll check your wall and advise.
How big can you go?
Any size you've got - bigger boards just need more fixings. 4ft to 8ft long boards are common, they just need spacing the brackets properly. I'll make sure it's rock solid whatever the size.
Do you supply the whiteboard?
Either way - if you've bought one, I'll fit it. If not, I can advise on good quality boards and pick one up for you. Magnetic backing is worth it if you're planning to use magnets.
What about the pen tray?
If it comes with one, I'll fit it level below the board. If not and you want one, they're cheap and make a massive difference - pens and erasers always to hand rather than rolling onto the floor.
