Before you pick up a drill
Three quick things worth knowing, so the day goes smoothly from the very first step.
How long it takes
Most first-timers spend one to two hours, unhurried. Give yourself room to double-check measurements rather than racing to the finish.
Safety first
Confirm your wall can carry the load, match the mount's weight rating to your TV, and pause for professional help if the structure is ever in doubt.

Small habits that make a big difference
The little things experienced installers do without thinking. Borrow them for a neater, safer result.
Measure at eye level
Sit where you'll actually watch and mark the centre of the screen there. A TV mounted too high strains the neck over time.
Trust the studs
Solid timber or masonry carries the weight; plasterboard alone rarely does. Where studs don't line up, use fixings rated for your wall.
Level twice, drill once
Check the bracket is level before and after the first screw. A degree or two of tilt is obvious once the picture is on.
Plan the cables early
Decide where power and HDMI will run before the TV is on the wall. It's far easier than reaching behind a hung screen.
Good to know
Questions people ask us most
For most televisions, yes. Fixing into solid studs or masonry gives the bracket something strong to hold on to. On a plasterboard wall without studs behind, you'd need heavy-duty fixings rated for the weight — and if you're unsure the wall can cope, it's worth asking a professional.
VESA is simply the spacing between the four mounting holes on the back of your TV, measured in millimetres (for example 200×200 or 400×400). Matching your TV's VESA pattern and weight to the mount's supported range is what makes sure the two fit together safely.
A fixed mount sits flat and low-profile. A tilting mount angles the screen downward, handy when it's mounted high. A full-motion arm swings and turns for flexible viewing. More movement usually means more weight and more fixing points, so check the ratings before you choose.
Marking and fixing the bracket is manageable solo, but lifting the television onto it is much safer with a second pair of hands. Larger screens are awkward and heavier than they look, so plan to have someone help with the final lift.
No. We're an independent information site only. We don't sell hardware, take bookings, or arrange fitters — we just explain the process clearly so you can decide how to approach it. For the specifics of your own kit, always follow the instructions supplied with your TV and mount.
