TV mounting cost in Hobart
TV wall mounting in Hobart is priced on three things: the size of the screen, the type of mount, and what your wall is made of. The tables below are our actual Hobart prices, including the surcharges most installers leave until they are standing in your living room.
Awaiting confirmation: the figures in the tables on this page are awaiting the business owner’s sign-off. They are shown as placeholders rather than invented numbers, because a published price the business will not honour is worse than no price at all.
Hobart TV mounting prices at a glance
TV wall mounting in Hobart is priced by screen size, mount type and wall construction. A fixed mount on modern plasterboard is the cheapest case; lath and plaster adds time, and sandstone is quoted on site because it cannot honestly be priced over the phone.

What costs extra, and why
These are the things that genuinely change the work. Publishing them up front is the point of this page.
| Service | What it covers | Added cost |
|---|---|---|
| Lath and plaster wall | Pre-1940 Hobart homes. Extra time locating irregular hardwood studs. | To be confirmed |
| Solid masonry or sandstone | SDS drilling and masonry anchors. Quoted on site. | To be confirmed |
| In-wall cable concealment | Cables routed inside the wall cavity | To be confirmed |
| Recessed power point | New fixed wiring. Carried out by a licensed electrician. | To be confirmed |
| Difficult access | Second storey, steep site, restricted parking | To be confirmed |
Lath and plaster walls
Common in any Hobart home built before 1940, which covers most of West Hobart, New Town, North Hobart and South Hobart. The plaster carries no load, so every fixing must reach the hardwood stud behind. Framing at irregular centres plus detectors that misread through lath means locating studs takes real time.
Sandstone and solid masonry
Battery Point, Salamanca and the older parts of Sandy Bay. This is SDS drilling and masonry anchors, and the hardness of Hobart sandstone varies within a single wall. We quote these on site rather than over the phone.
A new power point behind the TV
Installing or altering fixed wiring is licensed electrical work under AS/NZS 3000, so a recessed outlet behind your screen is done by a licensed electrician. Anyone offering to run a new outlet as part of a general mounting job is offering something they should not.
Soundbar installation prices
Bundling the soundbar with the television mount is cheaper than two separate visits, and it avoids fitting the bar in a position that blocks the television’s remote sensor.
| Service | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Soundbar wall mount only | Mounted, levelled, connected and tuned | To be confirmed |
| Soundbar with a TV mount | Bundled with any TV mounting job | To be confirmed |
| Soundbar cable concealment | Single cable run inside the wall | To be confirmed |
| HDMI eARC troubleshooting | Call-out where the soundbar is already installed | To be confirmed |

Why some Hobart jobs cannot be priced over the phone
Sandstone, heritage-listed fabric and rendered blockwork all hide what is behind them. An anchor sized for solid block that lands in a hollow core has almost no holding strength, and a hole in the wrong piece of colonial sandstone cannot be undone. For those walls we look first and price second. A fixed price quoted blind on a wall nobody has seen is not a better deal, it is just a number that changes later.
Comparing your options in Hobart
The most visible price in the Hobart market is not from a local business. It is the marketplace band on Airtasker Hobart TV wall mounting page, checked 2026-08-20: $95 to $150, median $120. That is a real option and for some jobs it is the right one. Here is what the two actually include, so you can decide rather than guess.
| What you are buying | Marketplace individual | MountPro Hobart |
|---|---|---|
| Typical price | $95 to $150 (median $120) | To be confirmed |
| Bracket supplied | Usually not | To be confirmed |
| Public liability insurance | Varies by individual | To be confirmed |
| Workmanship warranty | None | To be confirmed |
| Wall assessed before drilling | No | Yes, every job |
| Cable concealment offered | Rarely | Yes |
| Licensed electrician for a new outlet | Not available | To be confirmed |
| If the wall cannot take the TV | Your problem | We stop, explain why, and do not charge for the mount |
Labour only. Bracket, insurance, warranty and cable concealment not included. Individual taskers vary widely, and plenty of them do good work. The difference is what sits behind the job if something goes wrong six months later.
How Hobart prices compare nationally
Hobart sits at the lower end of the national range. Australian TV mounting generally runs from around $150 for a small screen on an easy wall to $400 and beyond for a large screen with a full-motion mount and in-wall cabling. Hobart labour rates are below the mainland capitals, but the housing stock pushes in the other direction: a higher share of jobs here are on pre-1940 walls that take longer than the mainland average.

Useful answers before the appointment.
The pricing questions we get asked most, answered before you have to ask them.
Cost is driven by three things: screen size, mount type, and what the wall is built from. A fixed mount on modern plasterboard is the cheapest case. Lath and plaster, solid masonry and sandstone all add time, and sandstone is quoted on site.
Either. We can supply a bracket rated for your screen, or fit one you already have. If you are buying your own, send us the model first so we can confirm it suits both your television and your wall before the visit.
Because the plaster carries no load. Every fixing has to reach the hardwood stud behind it, and framing in pre-1940 Hobart homes sits at irregular centres that electronic detectors read poorly. Locating and confirming those studs is the extra time you are paying for.
Yes. Installing or altering fixed wiring and power outlets is licensed electrical work in Australia under AS/NZS 3000, so a recessed outlet behind a screen is carried out by a licensed electrician, not by a general installer.
On a modern plasterboard wall with locatable studs, a smaller screen and a fixed bracket, DIY is a reasonable job. It stops being reasonable with lath and plaster, sandstone, screens over about 30kg, or anywhere a new power point is involved.
We stop, explain why, and you are not charged for the mount. We would rather lose the job than leave a television on a wall that will not keep holding it.
No. There is no call-out fee across the six council areas of Greater Hobart. Work outside that area is quoted individually so the travel component is visible before you book.
Airtasker's own Hobart page quotes $95 to $150 with a $120 median. That is labour only. It does not include a bracket, insurance, a workmanship warranty, cable concealment, or anyone assessing the wall first.
