Questions about this job

How much does mounting and installation cost?

Labour starts from $69, depending on the item, including GST. Parts and materials are additional unless stated otherwise. Pricing can be affected by the wall type, the item's weight and size and whether two people are needed, the number of items on the same visit, and whether cable concealment or extra fixings are required. A starting price is not a fixed quote; the accepted quote sets the scope.

What can you mount or install?

TVs, shelving, mirrors, artwork, blinds, curtain rods and tracks, flat-pack furniture and handrails or grab rails. For more detail, see TV wall mounting and picture, mirror and shelf installation.

Can you mount a TV on a brick or concrete wall?

Yes, with suitable masonry fixings. Tell us the wall type if you know it, or send a photo, so the right anchors can be brought.

What if my wall isn't suitable for what I've bought?

Suitability depends on the wall, the fixing location and the load. We will tell you if a wall or bracket is not suitable. Fixing into walls where no safe load-bearing structure exists is not included.

Can I supply my own bracket?

Yes. We are responsible for our installation workmanship, not for a supplied product's suitability, compatibility or defects.
