What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Bolt fixed, tilting or full-motion mounts into wall studs with lag bolts, using a mount rated above the TV's weight.
- Set the screen at a comfortable viewing height for the main seat and level the mount before the TV goes up.
- Tidy the cords with a paintable surface raceway, with no new outlets or in-wall power added.
How it works
- Confirm the TV's size, weight and VESA pattern, and pick a mount rated for more than that weight.
- Find the studs, mark the height, and check for pipes or wires behind the wall before drilling.
- Bolt the mount to the studs, hang the TV, level it, and test any tilt or swivel.
- Referred out: a new outlet behind the TV or any in-wall power run goes to a licensed electrician.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the mount, the height and the cord plan are agreed before any holes are drilled.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
