The Property Masters mounts televisions across Dubai so they sit level, secure and safe for the long term — because a TV is heavy, and the bracket is only as strong as the fixing behind it. We check your wall type first (solid concrete, hollow block or gypsum partition), pick the right anchor and bracket, then conceal the cables and set up any soundbar. Many Dubai apartments have gypsum walls that need a noggin or special fixing — we handle that properly rather than trusting a plug that will pull out.

Why the wall type decides the whole job
The most common reason a mounted TV fails is the wrong fixing for the wall behind it. Before we drill anything, we identify what we're fixing into:
- Solid concrete or shear walls — strongest substrate; percussion drilling and heavy-duty masonry anchors hold a large TV with ease.
- Hollow block / brick — common in villas; sleeve or frame anchors grip the block's webbing rather than crumbling the void.
- Gypsum / drywall partitions — very common in Dubai apartments; a standard plug will eventually pull straight out of plasterboard. We locate the steel or timber studs/noggins behind the board and fix into those, or use proper cavity/toggle fixings rated for the load. Where there's no stud in the right place, we'll say so and advise the safe option.
Choosing the right bracket
- Fixed (flat) mount — TV sits close to the wall; best when seating is straight ahead at eye level.
- Tilting mount — angles the screen down; ideal when the TV sits higher than eye level, such as above a console or fireplace.
- Full-motion (swivel/articulating) mount — extends, swivels and tilts to angle the screen across an open-plan room; exerts the most leverage on the wall, making correct fixing even more important.
We confirm the bracket's VESA pattern matches your TV's rear holes and that it's rated above your screen's weight, then set the height for comfortable viewing.
Cable concealment
- Surface trunking — a paintable channel that hides HDMI, power and audio cables neatly down the wall; works on any wall type.
- In-wall concealment — cables fed inside the wall for an invisible finish, suitable on hollow or gypsum walls with a cavity; mains power routed to code via a proper outlet, never buried unsafely.
We recommend the cleaner option your wall allows and dress every cable so nothing dangles.
Soundbar, accessories and setup
- Soundbar — mounted centred below the TV.
- Shelves or media brackets — for a console or streaming box.
- Full AV check — power up, level confirmed, sources switched correctly before we leave.
Getting height and position right
- Centre of screen at seated eye level from the sofa — lower than most people expect; too high leads to neck strain.
- Glare from windows and lighting considered.
- Distance to seating and whether the screen must serve multiple parts of an open-plan room.
We talk through the position before drilling so the finished result suits how the room is actually used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you mount a TV on a gypsum or plasterboard wall?
Yes, but it has to be done correctly. A standard wall plug will eventually pull out of plasterboard under a TV's weight, so we locate the steel or timber studs and noggins behind the board and fix into those, or use proper cavity and toggle fixings rated for the load. Where there's no stud in the right place for your chosen position, we'll tell you honestly and advise the safest option, which sometimes means a small adjustment to the mounting point. Doing this properly is the difference between a secure install and a TV that comes off the wall later.
Which TV bracket should I choose?
It depends on how you watch. A fixed flat mount sits the TV close to the wall and suits seating straight ahead at eye level. A tilting mount angles the screen down, which is ideal when the TV is higher than eye level, such as above a console. A full-motion mount swivels and extends so you can angle the screen across an open-plan room, though it puts the most leverage on the wall, making correct fixing even more important. We confirm the bracket's VESA pattern matches your TV and that it's rated above your screen's weight.
Can you hide the TV cables in the wall?
Often, yes. On hollow or gypsum walls with a suitable cavity we can feed cables inside the wall for an invisible finish, routing mains power to code through a proper outlet rather than burying a cable unsafely. Where in-wall concealment isn't practical, such as on solid concrete, we use neat paintable surface trunking that hides the HDMI, power and audio cables down the wall. We'll recommend the cleaner option your wall actually allows and dress every cable so nothing is left dangling.
Do you mount the soundbar and set everything up too?
Yes. We can mount a soundbar centred below the TV, fix shelves or media brackets for a console or streaming box, and tidy the whole AV stack. Once everything is on the wall we power up, check the screen is level, and confirm the sources switch correctly so you're ready to watch. If you have several items to mount, it's worth combining the TV with our drilling and wall-mounting service in one visit.
How much does TV wall mounting cost in Dubai?
Our handyman work starts from AED 109 per hour, and a straightforward TV mount on a sound wall is usually a short, fixed-price job. The final figure depends on the wall type, the bracket, whether you want cables concealed, and the TV size, since an in-wall cable run on concrete takes longer than surface trunking on block. These are indicative figures only; we provide a fixed quote after assessment, and all pricing is subject to +5% VAT.
