TV Mounting Melbourne — Servicing West Melbourne From $120

Most Melbourne homes have at least one flatscreen TV that either sits on a stand gathering dust or leans against a wall waiting for someone to mount it properly. Whether you've just moved into a rental in Footscray, bought a new 65" unit for your Yarraville lounge room, or you're tired of the clutter in your Werribee family room, professional TV mounting transforms how you watch and how your space feels. The job typically takes 60–90 minutes: we locate studs or use rated plasterboard anchors, run cables through the wall or conceal them in conduit, level the bracket, and test the tilt or swivel function before we leave.

We service the western suburbs of Melbourne from Sunshine West through to Point Cook, with technicians who carry the right fixings for brick veneer, double brick, plasterboard, and timber stud walls. No guesswork, no YouTube disasters, no cracked screens. Fill out the quote form on this page with your suburb, TV size, and preferred mount style—we'll call you back within two hours (same day on weekdays) to confirm timing and lock in the price.

What's Included

Every TV mounting job we complete covers the essentials and the details that separate a secure install from one that sags six months later:

We bring our own drill, masonry bits, and a step ladder. You provide the TV (unboxed is fine) and let us know if the mount came with the TV or if we're supplying it.

Pricing

TV mounting pricing in Melbourne starts from $120 for a straightforward job: a screen up to 55", a fixed or tilt bracket on a stud wall, cables concealed with stick-on covers, and no complex access issues. That covers a single-storey home in suburbs like Altona, Sunshine, or Hoppers Crossing where walls are standard brick veneer or timber frame with plasterboard lining.

Price adjustments come into play when the job demands more. Larger screens (65" and above) cost an extra $30–$50 because the brackets are heavier, require two people to lift safely, and use longer bolts. Full-motion articulating mounts add $40–$60 to the quote because they involve more calibration and heavier-duty wall fixings. If you want cables fished inside the wall—where the structure allows and complies with Victorian wiring rules—that's an additional $80–$120 depending on distance and wall cavity access. Mounting to brick or concrete (common in older Footscray warehouses or Williamstown terraces) adds time and requires masonry anchors, so expect $50–$80 more. Two-storey or cathedral-ceiling installs may attract a small access surcharge if we need scaffolding or specialist ladders.

We quote fixed prices over the phone or via the form once you tell us your TV size, mount preference, wall type, and whether you want cables hidden. No hourly rate creep, no surprise call-out fees. If we find double-brick behind the plasterboard when we expected timber, we'll let you know the revised cost before drilling—most clients in the western suburbs say yes because the difference is typically under $60 and the TV still goes up the same day.

Where We Work

We cover ten suburbs across Melbourne's west, from the inner-west industrial precincts near the rail corridor out to the growth estates in Wyndham. Every technician lives locally, carries spares in the van, and knows which streets in Yarraville have solid brick party walls and which Point Cook estates used steel frames instead of timber.

Our service areas include:

If your postcode sits within Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay, or Wyndham council areas and you're west of the Yarra, we can reach you. Most bookings happen within 48 hours of your enquiry; Saturday morning slots fill fast in the growth suburbs.

Why Locals Choose Us

Same-day price confirmation. Fill the form before 3pm on a weekday and we'll call back the same afternoon with a fixed price and available dates. You'll know what you're paying before we touch a drill bit, and the quote doesn't expire if you need a week to move furniture or wait for the new TV to arrive.

Actual local presence. Our technicians live in Sunshine, Footscray, and Werribee—not a call centre in another state. When you book TV mounting services Melbourne-wide, you sometimes get a contractor driving from Dandenong who's never worked with 1960s Yarraville brick or the lightweight frames in Tarneit's new estates. We know the building stock, we've mounted screens in thousands of west Melbourne homes, and we carry the fixings that suit the area.

Public liability insurance. Every job is covered to $10 million. If a drill slips, a bracket fails, or a screen drops because we used the wrong anchor for your wall type, the insurance responds. It's not a selling point we shout about, but the one time something goes sideways, it matters. Most sole-trader handymen in Melbourne either don't carry it or let it lapse between renewals.

Fixed pricing and no upsells. The quote we give over the phone is the amount on the invoice. If your Hoppers Crossing lounge has a brick feature wall we didn't know about, we tell you the adjustment before we start, and you decide whether to proceed. We don't arrive with a base rate then add "unforeseen complexity" charges because the cables were longer than a metre or the TV was 56" instead of 55".

Other Services We Offer

Most clients who book TV mounting in Melbourne have a few other jobs waiting—the downlights in the hallway that need globes, the cubby house box sitting in the garage, or the back deck that hasn't been cleaned since winter. We run the same crew and the same transparent quoting for every service, so you can bundle the work or call us back when the next task hits the list.

Other services available across the western suburbs:

Same fixed-price model, same callback speed, same local technicians. Ask about multi-service discounts when you fill the quote form if you'd like us to handle two or three jobs in one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a TV on a plasterboard wall without hitting a stud?

Yes, but only with rated plasterboard anchors (toggle bolts or metal cavity fixings) and only for smaller screens up to about 32". For anything larger—especially the 55" and 65" units common in Melbourne lounge rooms—we always locate timber or steel studs and fix the bracket there. Plasterboard alone won't hold the dynamic load when someone adjusts a full-motion arm or if a child pulls on the screen edge. If your Yarraville terrace or Altona unit has brick behind the plasterboard, we'll use masonry anchors rated to 100kg+ per fixing point.

How long does a typical TV mounting job take?

Plan for 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to clean-up. A straightforward fixed-bracket mount on a stud wall in a Sunshine West house might finish in under an hour. A 75" screen on a full-motion bracket in a Williamstown double-brick home, with cables fished inside the wall cavity and old bracket holes patched, can stretch past two hours. We'll tell you the expected timeframe when we quote, and we don't charge by the hour, so there's no penalty if the job takes longer than the estimate.

Do I need to supply the wall bracket or can you provide it?

We can do either. If you've already bought a bracket (often bundled with the TV from JB Hi-Fi or Harvey Norman), we'll install it as long as it's appropriate for your wall type and TV weight. If you haven't bought one yet, tell us your TV size and whether you want fixed, tilt, or full-motion—we'll bring a quality bracket that matches your VESA mounting pattern and quote the supply cost upfront. Most clients in Footscray and Werribee prefer we supply it because we warranty the bracket and the install together.

Can you hide the cables inside the wall?

In many cases, yes—if the wall construction and Victorian building regulations allow it. Timber-framed walls in suburbs like Point Cook and Tarneit are usually straightforward: we fish low-voltage cables (HDMI, optical audio) down from the TV to a new outlet box behind the cabinet, keeping everything legal and tidy. Power cables are different—Victorian regs require a licensed electrician to relocate or install new power points, so we'll either use external conduit or refer you to a sparky for that part. Solid brick or double-brick walls (common in Yarraville and older Footscray homes) make in-wall cabling much harder; we'll usually recommend surface-mount cable covers in those situations.

What happens if you drill into a pipe or cable?

It's rare because we use a quality stud finder with pipe and cable detection, and we work methodically—drilling pilot holes before committing to the full bracket. But if the unthinkable happens and we hit a water pipe or electrical cable, our public liability insurance covers the damage and the repair. We'll isolate the problem immediately (turn off the water main or kill the circuit breaker), call the appropriate tradesperson (plumber or electrician), and organise the fix at no cost to you. In fifteen years working across Hoppers Crossing, Sunshine, and the inner west, it's happened twice—both times in older homes where previous owners ran pipes in non-standard locations.
