Mount a TV on the wall yourself
HelpingHands lets you speak with an experienced helper through a live 10, 20, or 30-minute video call. Show them your wall and your TV bracket, and they'll help you find the studs or choose the right anchors for your wall type, get the bracket level, and tidy the cables — so the TV goes up straight and stays up.
When online help for mounting a TV is useful
You've bought a wall bracket but aren't sure your wall will hold the TV, you can't tell if it's brick, plasterboard or block behind, you want it dead level and at the right height, or you want the cables hidden. If you can show the wall and the bracket, a helper can guide you.
What you can show or ask during a video call
"Is this wall brick, plasterboard or breeze block?" "Which anchors or bolts do I need for this wall?" "Where are the studs?" "How high should the TV go?" "How do I keep it level and hide the cables?" Show the wall, the bracket and the back of the TV on camera and a helper talks you through it.
What HelpingHands does and does not do
It does: help you identify your wall type, choose the right fixings, find studs, mark and level the bracket, and plan the cable run. It does not: send a handyman to your home, or replace an on-site professional when the wall is hollow stud that won't take the weight, when a socket needs moving, or where an electrician should route mains cabling.
How pricing works
You book by session length — 10, 20, or 30 minutes — and see the price before you confirm. No call-out fee, because there is no call-out.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I mount a TV on the wall myself with online help?
- Yes. A helper guides you over video to pick the right fixings, find the studs, level the bracket and hang the TV — while you do the work.
- Does HelpingHands send someone to my house?
- No. HelpingHands is video-only. Helpers guide you during a live video call.
- How do I know my wall can hold the TV?
- Show your wall to a helper — they'll help you work out whether it's brick, block or plasterboard and which anchors it needs, so the bracket takes the weight of your TV.
- What if I need a socket moved or cables in the wall?
- Choosing fixings and levelling a bracket is something a helper can guide. Moving a socket or running mains cable inside the wall is a job for a certified electrician, and a helper will say so.
