💬 Questions about shelves and tv mounting costs

Will you check for pipes and wires?

A careful handyman uses a detector before drilling. If your job means moving wiring or pipes, you will need an electrician or plumber.

Can I mount a heavy TV on a plasterboard wall?

Often yes, with the right fixings and a bracket rated for the weight. A handyman in London can tell you what your wall needs.

Should I buy the bracket myself?

You can, but ask first. Many handymen will bring a suitable bracket for an extra charge.

Can a handyman hide the TV cables?

They can often run cables neatly with trunking or a cover. Cables inside the wall may need an electrician, so tell the handyman what you want.
