Mounting a TV on a chimney breast is a popular way to create a central feature in a living room while making good use of the available wall space. However, chimney breast TV mounting requires careful assessment because the construction, wall finish, fixing depth and condition can vary between properties.
At TV Mounter, we provide professional TV mounting on chimney breasts with 10+ years of experience installing TVs on brick, solid masonry, plastered and other suitable chimney breast constructions. Before installation, we assess the TV size and weight, wall structure, bracket type, mounting height and fixing points to determine a suitable installation method.
Flat TV wall brackets provide a sleek, low-profile finish, keeping your TV close to the wall. Ideal for modern living spaces, they offer secure, reliable support for all compatible TV brands and sizes.
A tilt TV wall brackets allow you to angle your screen downward to reduce glare and improve viewing comfort. Perfect for higher wall installations, they provide secure support and a clean, professional finish.
Our full motion TV wall brackets offer maximum flexibility, allowing you to extend, swivel, and tilt your TV for the perfect viewing angle. Ideal for corner installations, open-plan rooms, and reducing screen glare.
In many properties, a TV can be safely mounted on a chimney breast, provided the structure and proposed fixing area are suitable.
Chimney breasts are commonly constructed from brick or other solid masonry, which can provide a strong mounting surface. However, older properties, previously modified chimney breasts, plaster finishes and different construction methods mean the wall should still be assessed before drilling.
We consider:
The height of the television should be considered carefully, particularly when there is a fireplace, mantel, shelf or decorative feature below the proposed TV position.
Mounting a television unnecessarily high can make viewing uncomfortable. We measure the available space and consider the TV dimensions and seating position before deciding on the mounting height.
Where the television needs to sit higher than normal, a tilt bracket may help improve the viewing angle.
Brick chimney breasts are common in UK properties and can provide a strong surface for TV installation when the brickwork is in suitable condition.
The correct fixing method is important. Our installers assess the wall before selecting suitable fixings, taking into account the TV weight, bracket design and condition of the masonry.
We install fixed, tilt and suitable full-motion TV brackets on chimney breasts where the structure allows.

Choosing the correct TV height is especially important when mounting on a chimney breast. If there is a fireplace, mantel or shelf below, the TV may need to be positioned higher than the normal recommended viewing level. We aim to keep the screen as low as the chimney breast layout safely allows while maintaining suitable clearance from any feature underneath.
When a TV has to be mounted higher, a tilt TV bracket is often a practical choice. Unlike a fixed bracket, a tilt mount allows the top of the TV to move slightly away from the wall so the screen can angle downward towards the seating position. This can help create a more comfortable viewing angle and reduce the feeling of looking upwards at the screen.
The final height and bracket choice should consider the TV size, chimney breast dimensions, seating distance, fireplace or mantel position and the viewer’s normal eye level. Every installation is measured individually so the TV looks balanced on the chimney breast while providing a comfortable viewing position.
Installing a 75″, 77″, 85″, 86″ or larger television on a chimney breast requires accurate measurement.
The width of the chimney breast should be checked against the actual width of the television rather than relying only on its advertised diagonal screen size.
We also consider TV weight, bracket dimensions, fixing locations and how the screen will look in proportion to the chimney breast.
TV Mounter installs TVs from major manufacturers including Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, Panasonic, Philips, TCL and Sky Glass.
We regularly mount Samsung Frame TVs, Samsung OLED and Neo QLED models, LG OLED and G Series TVs, Sony BRAVIA TVs, Hisense TVs and large-screen televisions.
We install screen sizes ranging from approximately 32 inches through to 100″+, subject to the available chimney breast width, wall construction and suitable mounting points.
Yes, in many cases. The chimney breast construction and condition should be assessed first so that an appropriate fixing method can be selected.
Yes, provided the chimney breast has sufficient width, suitable construction and appropriate fixing points for the TV and bracket.
It may be possible on suitable solid chimney breast construction. Because full-motion brackets create additional leverage, the wall and fixing points should be assessed carefully.
Solid brick chimney breasts usually do not have the same accessible cavity as plasterboard walls. Surface trunking is therefore a practical cable-management option. Concealed routing may be possible where suitable plasterboard construction and cavity space are present.
TV Mounter provides professional TV mounting on chimney breasts with careful wall assessment, accurate positioning and secure installation.
Whether you have a Samsung Frame, LG OLED, Sony BRAVIA, Hisense, Sky Glass or another television, we can assess your chimney breast and determine a suitable mounting solution.
