TV Wall Mounting & Installation Melbourne

Bought a new TV and want it properly mounted on the wall?

Get Handyman provides TV wall mounting and installation services across Melbourne for homes, apartments, offices and other suitable properties.

Mounting a television is more than drilling a few holes and hanging the screen. The bracket needs to suit the television, the fixing method needs to suit the wall, and the final position needs to work for the room. A TV that is slightly too high, off-centre or not properly level can be surprisingly noticeable once everything else is finished.

We can help with the practical side of the installation, from positioning the television and fitting the wall bracket through to basic cable organisation and mounting compatible soundbars or other equipment.

If you already have the TV bracket, let us know when requesting a quote. If you still need to choose one, provide the TV model and screen size so the installation requirements can be discussed.

TV Wall Mounting in Melbourne

Wall mounting can make a noticeable difference to a room.

Instead of having the television sitting on a cabinet, mounting it on the wall can free up floor space and create a cleaner entertainment area. It can also make sense where the room layout does not suit a conventional TV unit.

Get Handyman can assist with suitable TV wall mounting for:

• Living rooms
• Bedrooms
• Home offices
• Media rooms
• Apartments
• Rental properties
• Offices
• Meeting rooms
• Reception areas
• Other suitable indoor spaces

The right mounting position depends on the television, wall, furniture and how the room is used.

A television in a bedroom, for example, may need a different viewing position from one in a living room. A TV mounted above furniture also needs enough clearance for comfortable viewing and access to the connections.

New TV Installation

If you have just purchased a new television, getting it out of the box is only the first step.

The installation may involve assembling the selected bracket, identifying a suitable mounting position, fixing the bracket securely and attaching the television.

Before the TV goes onto the wall, it is worth considering:

• Screen size
• TV weight
• Bracket compatibility
• Wall construction
• Viewing position
• Furniture underneath the TV
• Power outlet location
• HDMI and other cable connections
• Access to the TV's ports

Thinking about these details beforehand can prevent an installation that looks good initially but becomes inconvenient once you start using the television.

Fixed TV Wall Mounts

A fixed bracket keeps the television close to the wall and gives the installation a relatively low-profile appearance.

This type of mount can work well where the viewing position is already established and there is little need to change the screen angle.

A fixed mount may be suitable for:

• Living room feature walls
• Bedrooms
• Media rooms
• Offices
• TVs positioned directly opposite seating

The wall and TV need to be compatible with the bracket, and sufficient clearance needs to be available for connections and ventilation as required by the television manufacturer.

If you already own the bracket, we can discuss whether it is suitable for the TV and proposed wall before installation.

Tilting TV Bracket Installation

A tilting mount allows the screen angle to be adjusted vertically.

This can be useful when the television needs to sit higher than the ideal eye level or when the viewing position means a slight downward angle is more comfortable.

Tilting brackets can be useful for:

• Bedrooms
• TVs mounted above furniture
• Higher wall positions
• Rooms where seating is lower
• Installations where screen angle needs some adjustment

The amount of movement available depends on the particular bracket.

If you have already purchased a tilting bracket, provide its model or specifications when requesting a quote.

Full-Motion TV Wall Mounting

Full-motion brackets provide more flexibility than fixed or basic tilting mounts.

Depending on the bracket, the television can be pulled away from the wall and adjusted from side to side or tilted.

This can be useful where:

• Seating is positioned at different angles
• The TV is mounted near a corner
• You want to view the screen from another part of the room
• The screen needs occasional repositioning

Because full-motion brackets place additional demands on the wall fixing and extend the TV away from the wall, the mounting surface and bracket specifications need to be considered carefully.

TV Mounting on Plasterboard Walls

Plasterboard walls require a different approach from solid masonry.

The important question is not simply whether the wall is plasterboard. The construction behind the plasterboard, the location of suitable fixing points and the weight of the television all matter.

For this reason, the mounting method should be selected according to the actual wall construction and bracket requirements.

If you are unsure whether your wall is plasterboard, brick or another material, send a photograph of the installation area when requesting a quote.

TV Mounting on Brick and Masonry Walls

Brick and masonry walls provide a different fixing surface from plasterboard.

The age and condition of the wall, brickwork and mortar can still affect the appropriate fixing method.

A suitable masonry fixing needs to work with the wall, bracket and weight of the television.

If your TV is going onto a brick, concrete or masonry feature wall, provide a photo of the surface and the TV or bracket details when requesting the installation.

TV Mounting on Feature Walls

A television mounted on a feature wall can become the focal point of a room.

Timber-look panels, decorative wall treatments, cabinetry and other finishes can make an installation more complicated than mounting directly onto a plain wall.

The underlying structure and the way the feature wall has been constructed need to be considered before deciding where and how the bracket will be fixed.

If your TV is going onto a feature wall, include photographs when requesting a quote.

This is particularly useful if the wall has been recently renovated or contains decorative panels that you do not want unnecessarily damaged.

Choosing the Right Height for Your TV

There is no single mounting height that works for every room.

The ideal position depends on where you sit, the size of the television, the height of the furniture and how the room is used.

A TV mounted in a living room may be positioned differently from one in a bedroom.

Before drilling, consider the normal viewing position and whether you want the centre of the screen roughly aligned with your natural line of sight.

It is also worth checking that the proposed position does not interfere with doors, windows, shelves, artwork or other furniture.

If the TV is being mounted above a cabinet or entertainment unit, leave enough space for the equipment and connections underneath.

TV Cable Management Melbourne

A wall-mounted TV looks considerably cleaner when the cables are organised rather than hanging loosely below the screen.

Get Handyman can assist with basic cable management as part of a suitable TV installation.

This can include organising visible cables and helping create a tidier finish around the television.

Cable concealment inside a wall is a different matter. Any electrical work, new power points or work involving fixed electrical wiring should be carried out by an appropriately licensed electrician.

Get Handyman does not treat electrical work as part of a standard handyman TV mounting installation.

If your goal is a completely concealed setup, tell us what you are trying to achieve so the appropriate work can be identified before installation.

Soundbar Mounting

A wall-mounted television is often paired with a soundbar.

If the soundbar is designed to be wall mounted, its position can be planned around the television so the two pieces of equipment work together visually and practically.

Soundbar installation can involve:

• Selecting a suitable position
• Installing the appropriate bracket
• Aligning the soundbar
• Managing visible cables
• Checking clearance around the television

The mounting requirements depend on the soundbar model and bracket.

If you already have a soundbar bracket, provide the details when requesting a quote.

TV and Entertainment Area Setup

A television rarely exists on its own.

Your entertainment area may also include a soundbar, streaming device, gaming console, set-top box, Blu-ray player or other equipment.

Before mounting the TV, think about where these devices will sit and how their cables will reach the television.

A little planning can prevent the finished installation from looking neat around the screen but cluttered underneath it.

If you are setting up several pieces of equipment at the same time, tell us what you have so the mounting and positioning requirements can be considered together.

TV Mounting for Bedrooms

Bedroom TV installations often have different requirements from living room setups.

The television may need to be mounted higher because the viewer is lying down, or positioned where it can be watched from a particular part of the room.

A tilting bracket can sometimes provide additional flexibility where the screen is mounted higher.

The location of wardrobes, doors, windows and existing power points should also be considered before selecting the mounting position.

If you are replacing an existing bedroom TV or moving it to a new wall, send photos of the room when requesting a quote.

TV Mounting in Apartments

Apartments can have different wall construction and access conditions from detached homes.

You may also have restrictions relating to common property, wall modifications or building management requirements.

Before mounting a television in an apartment, make sure you are permitted to carry out the proposed wall installation where applicable.

Once the installation location has been confirmed, we can discuss the mounting requirements based on the wall and television.

TV Mounting for Rental Properties

Renters may want to mount a television but need to consider the property owner's requirements before drilling into walls.

If you are renting, obtain any necessary permission before arranging the installation.

For landlords and property managers, TV mounting may form part of preparing a property for a tenant, furnishing a serviced property or completing maintenance and installation work.

We can discuss suitable TV mounting requirements for rental properties where the installation is permitted.

Commercial TV Wall Mounting

Televisions can also be used in offices, reception areas, meeting rooms, waiting areas and other commercial environments.

A commercial TV installation may have different requirements because the screen could be viewed by people from several directions or mounted in an area with regular foot traffic.

Suitable projects can include:

• Office TVs
• Reception screens
• Meeting room displays
• Waiting room televisions
• Staff areas
• Commercial entertainment areas

The size and position of the screen, wall construction, viewing angle and cable arrangement should all be considered before installation.

TV Bracket Installation

If you have already purchased a TV bracket, we can discuss installation of the bracket and television.

Before booking, check that the bracket is compatible with your TV.

Useful information includes:

• TV brand
• TV model
• Screen size
• TV weight
• Bracket model
• VESA mounting information
• Wall type
• Installation location

Providing this information reduces the chance of discovering on installation day that the bracket and television are incompatible.

If you have not yet purchased a bracket, tell us what TV you have and how you want it mounted. We can discuss the type of bracket that may be suitable.

Replacing an Existing TV Wall Mount

Sometimes the television is already mounted but the bracket needs to be changed.

You may want to replace a fixed mount with a tilting or full-motion bracket, upgrade an older bracket or move the television to a different location.

Removing the old bracket can reveal the condition of the existing wall and fixing points.

If the TV is being moved, the new position should be planned rather than simply using the old mounting holes.

Tell us what you are changing when requesting a quote so the removal and new installation requirements can be considered together.

Moving a Wall-Mounted TV

Moving a television to another wall involves more than taking it down and putting it back up.

The new wall needs to be assessed, the bracket position needs to be determined and the existing installation may need to be removed.

You may also need to reconsider where the power and media connections are located.

If the move requires new electrical work or a new power outlet, that part should be handled by a licensed electrician.

We can discuss the TV mounting component of the relocation and identify any additional work that may be required.

TV Wall Mounting Cost in Melbourne

The price of TV mounting depends on the installation rather than simply the size of the screen.

Factors that can affect the cost include:

• TV size and weight
• Type of wall
• Bracket type
• Whether the bracket is supplied
• Installation height
• Feature wall or standard wall
• Removal of an existing mount
• Soundbar mounting
• Cable management
• Number of TVs
• Access to the installation area

A straightforward TV on a standard wall is a different job from a large television on a feature wall with a full-motion bracket and additional equipment.

For that reason, provide the TV model, bracket details and photographs of the wall when requesting a quote.

What to Send When Requesting a TV Mounting Quote

You do not need to know every technical detail before contacting us.

A few pieces of information can make the quote process much easier:

• TV brand and model
• Screen size
• Approximate TV weight if known
• Photo of the TV
• Photo of the wall
• Type of wall if known
• Bracket model if already purchased
• Whether the TV is replacing an existing mounted TV
• Whether you want a soundbar mounted
• Your Melbourne suburb

If you want cables concealed, mention this at the beginning rather than after the TV has been installed.

What We Don't Include as Standard Electrical Work

There is an important distinction between mounting a television and modifying the property's electrical wiring.

Installing a wall bracket, mounting the television and organising accessible cables are different from installing a new power outlet or running fixed electrical wiring inside a wall.

Electrical work that requires a licensed electrician should be completed by an appropriately licensed professional.

If your planned installation requires a new power point behind the television, discuss this before the mounting work is arranged so the electrical component can be handled appropriately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a TV on a plasterboard wall?

A TV can potentially be mounted on plasterboard, but the appropriate fixing method depends on the wall construction, TV weight and bracket. The wall should be assessed before installation.

Can you mount a TV on a brick wall?

Yes. Suitable TV brackets can be installed on brick and masonry walls, provided the wall and fixing method are appropriate for the installation.

Do you install fixed TV brackets?

Yes. Fixed wall mounts can be installed where the bracket and wall are suitable for the television.

Can you install tilting TV brackets?

Yes. Tilting brackets can be suitable where the TV needs some vertical adjustment.

Can you install full-motion TV brackets?

Yes, suitable full-motion brackets can be discussed. Because these brackets extend away from the wall, the wall fixing and bracket specifications are particularly important.

Can you mount a TV above a fireplace?

This depends on the fireplace, wall construction, heat exposure, TV manufacturer's requirements and the proposed mounting position. The installation needs to be assessed carefully before proceeding.

Can you mount a TV on a feature wall?

Potentially. The construction behind the feature finish needs to be considered so the bracket can be fixed appropriately.

Can you hide the TV cables?

We can assist with basic cable management and a tidy visible installation. Concealing cables inside a wall or installing new power points may require electrical work by a licensed electrician.

Do you supply the TV bracket?

Bracket supply can be discussed depending on the project. If you already have a bracket, provide the model and TV details so compatibility can be considered.

Can you install a TV that I have already purchased?

Yes. Customer-supplied televisions can be mounted where the TV, bracket and installation location are suitable.

Can you mount a soundbar?

Suitable soundbar mounting can be discussed as part of the TV installation.

Can you remove an old TV bracket?

Yes. Existing TV bracket removal can be included where required as part of a replacement or relocation project.

How high should a TV be mounted?

There is no universal height. It depends on the TV size, seating position, room layout and furniture. The viewing position should be considered before drilling.

How much does TV wall mounting cost in Melbourne?

The cost depends on the TV, bracket, wall type, mounting position and any additional work such as soundbar mounting or cable management. Request a quote based on your installation rather than relying on a generic price.

Can you mount a TV in a rental property?

Yes, provided you have the required permission to modify the wall.

Do you install TVs in offices?

Yes. Suitable office, meeting-room and commercial TV mounting projects can be discussed.

Do you install power points behind the TV?

New power points and fixed electrical wiring are electrical work and should be completed by an appropriately licensed electrician. They are not part of a standard handyman TV mounting installation.

How do I arrange a TV wall mounting quote?

Call Get Handyman on +61 401 923 333 or contact us online. Send the TV model, bracket information, a photo of the wall and your Melbourne suburb to help us understand the installation.
