The Complete TV Mounting Guide
Everything you need to hang your television securely — the right bracket, the right height and the right fixings.
Before You Begin
Tools & things to check
Gather these first so you are not stopping halfway. A second pair of hands makes lifting the TV onto the bracket much safer.
- A stud finder for locating solid fixing points
- A drill with bits suited to your wall type
- A spirit level (or a reliable level app)
- A tape measure and pencil
- Your TV's VESA size and weight
- A bracket rated above your TV's weight
Step by Step
Mounting your TV safely
Take your time with each step. If you are ever unsure about your wall or the weight involved, it is always worth asking a professional.
Confirm the VESA pattern
VESA is the spacing (in millimetres) between the four mounting holes on the back of your TV, for example 200×200 or 400×400. Check that your chosen bracket supports both your VESA size and your TV's weight.
Pick the perfect height
As a rule of thumb, the centre of the screen should sit around eye level when seated — often roughly 105–115 cm from the floor to the screen centre in a living room. Mark the spot lightly in pencil.
Find your fixing points
On a stud wall, use a stud finder to locate the timber or metal studs and mark their centres. On solid brick or concrete, plan to use the correct heavy-duty wall plugs. Never rely on plasterboard alone to hold a TV.
Mark and drill
Hold the wall plate level, check it with your spirit level, and mark the holes. Drill to the depth and diameter your fixings require, being mindful of any hidden pipes or cables behind the wall.
Secure the wall plate
Fit the wall plate with the supplied bolts or your rated fixings and tighten firmly. Give it a confident tug to be sure it does not move before you go any further.
Attach the arms and hang the TV
Fasten the bracket arms to the back of the TV using the correct screws (and spacers if needed). With a helper, lift the TV and locate it onto the wall plate, then engage any safety catch or locking screw.
Level, connect and tidy
Fine-tune until the screen is perfectly level, then connect your HDMI and power cables and route them neatly through a cable cover or channel for a clean finish.

2. Locate onto the wall
Line the bracket rail up with the fixed wall plate and engage the safety catch or locking screw.
3. Level & enjoy
Fine-tune until level, tidy the cables, and your television is ready to watch.
Safety reminders
Always use a bracket rated well above your television's weight, fix into solid structural points rather than plasterboard alone, and check for hidden pipes and wiring before drilling. If your wall type is unusual, the TV is very large, or you are not fully confident, please hire a qualified installer.

Quick Reference
Which mount suits your room?
Fixed
Lowest profile and easiest to fit. Best when you can mount at seated eye level.
Tilting
Angles down to cut glare. Ideal when the TV sits a little above eye level.
Full-Motion
Swivels and extends for corners and open-plan rooms. Needs strong fixings.
Ceiling
Useful in kitchens or commercial spaces where wall space is limited.
