Level-perfect TV wall mounting on brick, drywall, gypsum, IBR or concrete — fixed, tilting and full-motion brackets fitted with hidden cable management. Same-day service across Johannesburg, Pretoria and the rest of Gauteng. Fully insured installers, written workmanship guarantee, no mess left behind.
Tell us the TV size, mount type and wall material and we'll come back with a fixed price and earliest slot.
Our standard mounting service is a complete, all-in package — no surprise charges added after the bracket is on the wall.
The same proven process whether we're fitting a 32-inch bedroom screen or a 98-inch home-theatre flagship.
We arrive on time, discuss your viewing position, check sight-lines from every seat in the room, scan the wall for hidden electrical cables and plumbing, and identify the wall material (brick, drywall, IBR sheet, concrete or composite). We agree the final TV centre-line height with you before anything is marked.
We confirm the TV's VESA hole pattern (100x100, 200x200, 400x400 or 600x400 are the most common in South Africa), verify the bracket weight rating against the TV's actual mass with a 1.5x safety margin, and select fixed, tilt or full-motion based on your room layout.
A test hole confirms the wall material at the actual mounting point. For brick we use 8mm masonry anchors with 80mm screws; for drywall we locate the studs and use 75mm coach screws; for concrete we use 10mm expansion bolts. Wrong anchors are the single biggest cause of TVs falling off walls in South Africa — we never guess.
Pilot holes drilled to manufacturer torque spec, dust extracted with a vacuum, anchors driven home and the bracket levelled with a 600mm precision spirit level. We verify the wall plate is dead-level before drilling the second set of holes — a small step that prevents 90 percent of "tilted TV" complaints we hear about competitors.
HDMI, power, antenna and any peripheral cables routed through the chosen path — in-wall behind the gypsum, behind colour-matched surface trunking, or through a discreet cord-control sleeve. We always leave a 200mm service loop behind the TV so you can move it forward for future maintenance.
TV lifted onto the bracket by two installers (we never solo-lift any screen over 43 inches), final spirit-level adjustment on the screen itself, full power-on and source test, dust and rubble cleaned away, and a quick demo of how to detach the TV from the bracket if you ever need to. Handover signed, warranty card issued.

A snapshot of what we do every week — the brief, the challenges and the outcome on three real installs.
Insured Installers
Every Nathtec wall-mount installer is fully insured for public liability up to R5 million per incident. We carry workers' compensation cover, and every mount is signed off with a written workmanship guarantee — if the bracket ever pulls out of the wall due to fitting (not impact damage or DIY removal), we re-install and repair the wall at no charge.
Our installers are trained and certified internally before they ever lift a TV onto a wall in your home. We use only genuine masonry-grade anchors, calibrated torque drivers and laser-levels — never cheap "one-size-fits-all" wall plugs that fail under the weight of a 55-inch panel. We take your TV's value seriously: a single careless install can cost you the price of a new 75-inch flagship, and we make sure that never happens.
Same-day mounting bookings available right across the province.

TV wall mounting in Gauteng typically costs between R550 and R2,400 depending on TV size, mount type and wall material. A 32 to 43 inch fixed-mount install on brick is usually R550 to R900, while a 65 to 75 inch full-motion mount on a concrete wall is R1,100 to R1,800. We provide a free written quote before any drilling begins.
Yes. Brick is the easiest, strongest surface for TV mounting. We use heavy-duty masonry anchors and 80mm to 100mm screws set into solid brickwork, giving safe support for screens up to 100 inches and 75kg. Brick is the recommended surface for any TV larger than 55 inches.
Yes. Drywall mounting is safe when the bracket is fixed to the timber or steel studs behind the gypsum — never to the gypsum alone. We use a stud finder, locate the structural framing and fix the mount through the drywall into the underlying stud. For TVs over 55 inches on drywall we add a hidden timber backing plate for extra security.
Either option works. We can supply a quality fixed, tilting or full-motion bracket sized correctly for your TV and warranty it together with the installation, or we can fit a bracket you have already bought. If you supply your own, we'll verify it matches the TV VESA pattern and weight rating before drilling.
A standard TV wall-mount installation takes 45 to 90 minutes from arrival to handover. Larger TVs, full-motion mounts and full cable management add 30 to 60 minutes. Same-day bookings are available across Johannesburg, Sandton, Pretoria, Midrand, Randburg and Soweto.
Yes. We offer two cable-management options — a surface cable raceway in colour-matched trunking, or full in-wall cable concealment that runs the HDMI, power and antenna cables behind the gypsum or through chased brickwork. In-wall concealment adds R180 to R550 depending on the run length and wall type.
Yes. All Nathtec installers carry public-liability cover up to R5 million per incident, and we provide a written guarantee on every installation. If a TV or wall fixture ever fails due to our workmanship, we replace or re-install at no cost.
For a standard lounge with seated viewing, the centre of the screen should sit about 1100 to 1200mm above the floor — putting the eyeline at the centre of the picture. For a bar or kitchen install we go higher (1500 to 1700mm), and for a bedroom mount viewed while lying down we go higher still and use a tilting bracket. We assess the room before fixing the bracket height.
Wall mounting a television looks straightforward on the box of a R299 universal bracket from a hardware store — but the difference between a TV that hangs perfectly flat, perfectly level and perfectly hidden-cabled for ten years, and a TV that slowly tilts, pulls plaster out of the wall, or visibly trails an HDMI cable down the lounge wall, is almost entirely about the workmanship of the installation. Across more than a decade of fitting TVs in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Sandton, Midrand, Randburg and Soweto, we've developed a clear, repeatable mounting method that gets the same professional result every single time, regardless of the TV brand or the wall behind it.
The first decision in any Gauteng wall-mount install is the choice between a fixed, tilting or full-motion (swing-arm) bracket. A fixed mount holds the TV flat and flush against the wall — typically 25 to 45mm of clearance — and is the cleanest, most architectural option for a single-seating lounge where the TV is always viewed from the same direction. A tilting mount adds 15 degrees of vertical pivot, which is essential whenever the TV is mounted higher than ideal eye-level (above a fireplace, above a built-in dresser, or in a high-ceilinged bedroom). A full-motion or swing-arm bracket adds horizontal swivel of up to 180 degrees plus full extension out from the wall, making it the right choice for open-plan living areas, corner mounts or any room where the TV needs to be viewable from multiple seating positions. Full-motion mounts cost more, are heavier, and require either solid brick, concrete or properly stud-backed drywall.
Gauteng homes are built on a wide variety of wall systems. Older suburbs like Yeoville, Brixton, Bertrams, Kensington and parts of Pretoria are dominated by traditional solid clay brick with a plaster skim — the strongest and easiest surface for TV mounting. Newer estates in Midrand, Centurion, Waterfall, Modderfontein and Fourways frequently use cement-block or concrete-cast walls internally, which are even stronger but require carbide-tipped drilling and 10mm expansion bolts. Townhouse complexes, loft conversions and many post-2010 office-to-residential conversions use drywall or gypsum board on a metal-stud or timber-stud frame — perfectly safe for TV mounting when the bracket is anchored through the gypsum into the underlying studs, but a guaranteed disaster when only gypsum anchors are used.
Our wall-survey procedure on arrival includes a magnetic and capacitance stud finder, an AC electrical-cable detector to identify any hidden wiring on the planned drill line, and a small pilot hole drilled at the bracket's lowest fixing point to confirm the substrate before any large hole is drilled. This 10-minute step is the single most important part of a safe mount. Wall material then dictates anchor selection: for brick we use proprietary masonry plugs with 80 to 100mm screws; for concrete we use 10mm steel expansion bolts; for drywall we either fix directly through to studs or, where studs cannot be reached, we use heavy-duty toggle bolts rated for at least 70kg per fixing.
Every television in South Africa carries a VESA pattern — a standardised set of threaded mounting holes on the back of the TV, measured in millimetres horizontal x vertical. Common South African VESA patterns are 100x100 (32 inch TVs), 200x200 (43 inch), 300x300 (50 inch), 400x400 (55 to 65 inch) and 600x400 (75 to 85 inch flagships). Mismatching a bracket to a TV's VESA pattern is one of the most common DIY failures we get called out to fix — the screws either won't reach the threads, or they thread in only one or two millimetres and pull out under load weeks later. Every Nathtec wall-mount installation begins with a VESA confirmation on the TV's rear plate, and we carry a comprehensive screw set (M4, M6 and M8 in multiple lengths) so we never use the wrong fastener.
An expensive, level, well-anchored 75-inch QLED with a black HDMI cable, a white power cable and a coax aerial cable all dangling visibly down the wall looks worse than a cheap TV on a stand. Proper cable management is the single biggest visual differentiator between a Nathtec install and a budget mounting job. We offer two options: surface trunking in colour-matched PVC raceways that bond to the wall with high-tack adhesive and conceal the cables in a clean, paintable channel; and in-wall concealment, where we cut a discreet entry and exit grommet, route the cables behind the gypsum or through chased brickwork, and re-skim the wall where needed. In-wall concealment is electrically code-compliant in South Africa for low-voltage signal cables (HDMI, coax, optical, network), and a properly rated in-wall power kit must be used to extend the mains supply behind the TV — we use only SABS-rated units for this part of the job.
A growing number of our Gauteng installs include a soundbar bracket fitted directly below the TV, typically 100 to 150mm from the lower edge of the screen. We use universal soundbar brackets that attach to the same VESA bolts as the TV mount itself, then carry the soundbar's own mounting holes on an extension arm. This approach keeps the soundbar in perfect alignment with the screen even on tilting and full-motion mounts, and allows the TV-and-soundbar combination to be moved as a single unit. Soundbar mounting adds R420 to R780 to a standard wall-mount job and is one of the most satisfying upgrades we do — getting the audio off the AV cabinet and into the same plane as the picture genuinely transforms the listening experience.
An increasing number of Gauteng homes are now installing outdoor or patio-area televisions — typically in covered lapas, braai rooms and entertainment areas. Standard indoor TVs are not rated for outdoor humidity, dust or temperature swings, and we strongly recommend either a properly rated outdoor TV (Samsung Terrace, Sunbrite, Furrion) or, at minimum, a weather-sealed protective enclosure. For outdoor and outdoor-adjacent mounts we use stainless-steel hardware throughout, marine-grade silicone seals at every wall penetration, and route all cabling through UV-rated conduit. Outdoor mounting is priced individually based on the location and accessories required.
The vast majority of Gauteng wall-mounting jobs we take on are completed the same day. When you contact us, we ask for the TV size and brand, the wall material (or a quick photo of the wall and intended location), and your suburb. We come back within minutes during business hours with a fixed Rand price, a clear quote of what's included, and an earliest available slot. Most installs are booked within 24 hours, and many same-day jobs in Johannesburg, Sandton, Pretoria, Midrand, Randburg and Soweto are completed within hours of the original call.
Many of our wall-mount customers go on to use our wider service portfolio. After mounting a new screen, the next natural step is a full TV installation service covering antenna or DStv setup, Wi-Fi configuration, app log-ins and picture calibration. If you're mounting an older TV that has just developed a fault — for example a backlight issue or a damaged HDMI port — see our common TV problems guide or our repair cost guide for transparent Rand pricing. For brand-specific advice, see our pages on Samsung repair, LG repair, Sony repair, Hisense repair, TCL repair, Skyworth repair and Panasonic repair.
