TV mounting cost: published rates

| Company | Service as listed | Rate | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| FixMove | TV, mirror, shelf, picture or cabinet mounting | From S$40 per job | fixmove.sg |
| Wefix4U | TV wall mount | From S$80 per job | wefix4u.sg |
| Handy King | TV wall mounting | From S$120 per job | handyking.sg |
As printed, the three lines are "TV, mirror, shelf, picture or cabinet mounting" (From S$40 per job), "TV wall mount" (From S$80 per job) and "TV wall mounting" (From S$120 per job). The first line covers several kinds of mounting, not only TVs, so ask what it includes for a screen of your size.
The block shows each company's lowest matching rate, so check what each price covers. When you compare a TV wall mount installation price, ask each company the same questions: is the bracket supplied, and is removing an old bracket or tidying the cables extra?
For more on the work itself, see the TV mounting service page.
What changes the price
A published rate is a starting point. Mention each of these details when you ask for a price:
- Screen size and weight. A larger, heavier screen needs a bracket rated for its weight, and it may need two people to lift it onto the bracket.
- Bracket type. A fixed bracket holds the TV flat against the wall. A tilting bracket angles the screen down, and a full-motion arm lets you pull the screen out and turn it. Arms take longer to fit and level.
- Wall type. A concrete wall is the simplest. Brick needs fixings suited to brick. A board wall or feature panel needs suitable fixings or a backing panel, which adds time.
- Height and soundbar. A TV mounted high, above a console or with a soundbar fixed underneath means more measuring and more holes. Ask whether a soundbar bracket is priced separately.
- Removing an old bracket. Taking down an existing bracket is extra work. Say so when you ask, so the price covers it.
Drilling and hidden wiring
HDB's renovation guidelines for electrical works say there is no embedding of wiring in reinforced concrete slabs, beams, columns, walls or wall plaster. Wiring is housed in metal or high-impact polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conduit.
To hide the cables, see the guide to TV cable concealment for the options.
Adding a power point behind the TV is electrical work, not part of a mounting job. Electrical work at home should be carried out or supervised by an Energy Market Authority (EMA) Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW). EMA says electrical work in an HDB flat needs a Licensed Electrician, the class of LEW approved for loads of up to 45kVA.
If you need a new socket for the TV or a soundbar, the guide to power point installation cost covers that job. Plan the power point and the bracket position together, so the socket ends up where the TV needs it.
Tip-over safety
The Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) says unstable furniture and TVs are a serious tip-over risk, especially for young children. CPSO advises that you mount or strap flat-screen TVs to the wall or use a suitable stand as the manufacturer recommends. It also says not to put toys or remotes on top of TVs and dressers.
Mounting the TV on the wall is one way to follow that advice. The console or cabinet underneath still matters, because a child who climbs it can pull it over. See the guide on how to anchor furniture to the wall for the console, shelves and dressers in the same room.
If the TV stays on a stand for now, use a stand that suits your model and keep remotes and toys in a drawer or basket instead.

Compare handymenBefore the installer arrives
A little preparation helps the visit go smoothly.
- Pick the height with the seat. Sit where you usually watch and mark the wall at about eye level. Leave room below for a soundbar or console if you use one.
- Check the bracket fits. Make sure the bracket matches the mounting holes on the back of your TV and is rated for its weight. Check the TV manual if you are unsure.
- Clear the area. Move furniture, plants and fragile items away from the wall, and lay a sheet down for the dust.
- Keep the screws and manual. Store the spare screws, the bracket manual and the TV's original stand together, in case you move the TV later.
If you have young children at home, the childproofing checklist covers other things to secure around the flat.
Questions
Can a TV be mounted on a board or feature wall?
Yes, but only with suitable fixings or a backing panel. Board walls and feature panels are not all built the same way, so ask the installer to look at the wall before you choose the bracket. They can tell you which fixings they would use, or whether a backing panel is needed behind the board.
Is the bracket included in the price?
Not necessarily, so ask each company before you compare. The printed service names do not say whether a bracket is supplied. If you already own one, ask whether the rate changes. If the company supplies it, ask which type it is (fixed, tilting or full-motion) and whether it is rated for your TV's weight.
How high should a wall-mounted TV be?
Near eye level when you are seated, measured to the centre of the screen. There is no fixed rule, so sit where you usually watch and ask someone to hold the TV box against the wall. Allow space below for a soundbar or console, and decide the height before the installer drills.
Can I mount a TV on an HDB wall myself?
Yes, if you have the right tools and fixings and you check the wall first. Check for concealed pipes and wires before you drill. HDB's electrical works guidelines say there is no embedding of wiring in reinforced concrete slabs, beams, columns, walls or wall plaster. If you are unsure about a wall, ask HDB or an installer before you start.
What wall anchors suit a heavy TV?
Use the fixings the bracket maker rates for your wall type and your TV's weight. Concrete, brick and board walls need different fixings, so check the bracket manual for what it lists and the weight it is rated to hold. If the manual is unclear, ask the installer which anchors they will use and why.
Can the installer move my TV to another wall later?
Yes, ask for it as a new mounting job that includes taking down the old bracket. Removing an old bracket is one of the things that changes the price, so mention it when you ask. Ask whether the company fills the old holes, and ask them to check the new spot for concealed pipes and wires before drilling.
