Mounting a TV or hanging a heavy mirror looks simple until the wall turns out to be plasterboard over a stud frame rather than solid brick — which is exactly what a lot of Kent's newer builds, flats, and internal partition walls are made from. Drill into the wrong spot without checking, and the fixing pulls straight back out under weight within weeks.
The job includes finding the right fixing points, using the correct anchors or screwing into the stud itself, levelling everything properly, and — for TVs — running or hiding the cables so it doesn't look like an afterthought.
25 years of precision fitting work on doors, windows, and hardware means the same standard applies to something as "small" as a shelf — properly measured, properly fixed, not eyeballed.
One visit often covers several jobs at once, since anyone hanging a TV usually has a few other bits waiting for the same call-out.
Pricing depends on the wall type, TV size, and whether cables need hiding. Get in touch with a photo of the wall and TV size for an accurate range.
Yes. Many Kent properties, especially newer builds and flats, have stud or plasterboard partition walls rather than solid brick. The right fixings (cavity anchors or fixing into the stud itself) make this safe — it just needs identifying before drilling, not assuming.
Either works. Bring your own bracket or shelving and it'll be fitted, or one can be sourced and the cost added to the quote.
A single TV mount or a few pictures usually takes under an hour. Shelving, multiple items, or cable concealment can take longer — this gets confirmed when quoting.
Yes — mounting a TV, hanging shelves, and putting up pictures or mirrors in the same visit is common and usually more cost-effective than booking separate call-outs.
