If you have paid £1,000 or more for an LCD/Plasma TV, the last thing you want is for it to fall off of the wall and smash, it is therefore crucial that only manufacturers mountings are used. Manufacturers specific mountings take account of screen size and weight. Using general supplied mountings may be cheaper, but may not support the weight of the TV.
 

The manufacturers listed below supply specific mountings for various models and are guaranteed. I can procure one for you (payment in advance) or I can put you in touch with a supplier to purchase the correct mounting ahead of installation. Mounts can cost anything between £50 and £200 depending on the televisions weight, screen size and and the mounts functions.

 

Some mounts are static and can't be moved, some swivel up and down, others swivel up/down and side to side.

 

 

'Example' Two-Way Swivel.

 

Fitting cost
£50.00 plus cost of specialist bolts, these can cost between £3 and £5 each depending on the TV weight and manufacturers recommendation.

 

 

Why are you so much cheaper than other installation companies?

 

Specialist home cinema companies will charge over £200-£300 for an installation. These companies would probably rather be designing and installing a whole AV system for you; they aren't really geared up to just pop round for a couple of hours to fit your plasma screen. We are a handyman service. Hanging stuff on walls is what we do all the time. And our whole business is orientated around offering an efficient, value-for-money service to our customers.

 

Can a plasma screen be hung from a plasterboard wall?

Screens larger than about 42in may be too heavy to be fitted to a plasterboard wall, but please do call us first to check. Remember that even small flat screens, especially plasma screens, are heavy, so fixing of the screen brackets requires extreme care and the correct fixings, to ensure your screen stays on the wall! Definitely a job for the professional.
