Questions to Ask Your Trade

Are you insured and do you carry public liability cover for installations?
Which bracket type (fixed, tilting, full-motion) do you recommend for my TV size?
Do you include cable management (trunking or in-wall) in your quote?
How will you locate and reinforce studs or solid fixing points?
What tools or equipment (e.g. scaffold, ladder) will you need on site?
Do you provide a level guarantee and final functionality test?
What warranty do you offer on labour and supplied brackets?

How to Avoid Surprises

Clear access: Move furniture and clear the wall area before arrival.
Parking: Reserve a space close to your front door for ladders and equipment.
Power & data: Identify nearby sockets or coax/HDMI outlets in advance.
Wall confirmation: Check if walls are non-standard (e.g. thin stud, stone).
Written quote: Obtain a detailed breakdown of call-out, labour, materials and extras.
