TV Wall Mounting Cost in Durban: What You'll Really Pay

TV wall mounting looks simple from the outside, but the final price depends on a handful of specific factors that are worth understanding before you book.

The Short Answer

Basic flat TV wall mounting in Durban starts from R350, with cabling left visible. Adding concealed cabling typically brings the price to R650 or more, and full-motion or tilt brackets for larger screens start from around R850.

What Determines the Price

Bracket Type

Flat/fixed brackets are the cheapest and simplest option. Tilt brackets, useful when mounting above eye level, cost slightly more. Full-motion brackets that extend and swivel are the most expensive due to the hardware involved, but offer the most flexibility for viewing angle.

Cable Concealment

Leaving cables visible along the wall is the fastest, cheapest option. Running cables through slim trunking adds a modest cost. Concealing cables inside a drywall cavity (where the wall type allows it) gives the cleanest finish but takes longer to install.

Wall Type

Brick and plastered walls, common in older Durban homes, need the correct wall anchors but are generally straightforward. Drywall or partition walls need different fixing methods and sometimes additional backing board if the TV is heavy.

Screen Size

Larger, heavier screens need brackets rated for the extra weight and sometimes two installers for safe handling, which can add to the labour cost compared to smaller screens.

Typical Price Ranges

Getting the Cleanest Finish

If a fully hidden cable finish matters to you, let us know before the visit so we can assess whether your wall type supports in-wall cable routing, or whether colour-matched trunking is the better option. Either way, we group all cables (power, HDMI, and DStv coax if applicable) into a single tidy run rather than leaving them loose.

If you’re mounting a TV alongside a new DStv installation, it’s worth booking both in the same visit — see our DStv installation cost guide for combined pricing.
