TV Wall Mounting on Plasterboard Walls

Can you mount a TV on plasterboard safely?

Yes — TV mounting on plasterboard walls can be done safely using heavy-duty fixings such as GripIt anchors or steel toggle bolts. When installed correctly, the weight is distributed securely across the wall, preventing cracks, loose brackets, or the risk of the TV falling. We’ve safely mounted hundreds of TVs on plasterboard walls across London without failure.

How Do You Fix a Failed TV Mount on Plasterboard in Stratford, London?

Fixing a failed TV mount on plasterboard requires the right fixings, proper load distribution, and secure anchoring into studs.

A client in Stratford contacted us after a TV nearly fell off the wall. A previous installer had mounted a 55-inch TV on plasterboard using standard wall plugs and failed to secure it into studs. As soon as the TV was moved, the fixings started pulling out.

We quickly identified the issue — the bracket was putting too much strain on weak fixings.

To fix it properly, we:

  • Replaced the bracket with a wide-plate mount to spread the load
  • Used heavy-duty fixings designed for plasterboard
  • Secured the TV directly into the internal studs for full support

The result is a completely stable installation, even when the bracket is fully extended.

Tip: If your installer is using the free plugs from the box on plasterboard, the installation is not safe.

What is the best TV bracket for my wall?

The best TV bracket depends on your wall type and the size of your TV. Choosing the right bracket is important for safety, viewing comfort, and a clean finish.

Plasterboard walls (drywall):
A heavy-duty tilt or fixed bracket is usually best. It must be installed into studs or reinforced with proper fixings to safely hold the weight. If you’re unsure, choosing the wrong bracket can damage your wall or cause the TV to fall. Our guide on best TV brackets for plasterboard walls explains exactly what you need.

Solid brick or concrete walls:
You can use almost any bracket, including full motion (swivel) mounts. These are ideal if you want flexible viewing angles and easy access behind the TV.

Dot and dab walls:
These walls have a gap behind the plasterboard, so standard fixings are not strong enough. A tilt or fixed bracket is recommended, installed using specialist fixings that anchor securely into the solid wall behind.
