A secure installation depends on wall material, hidden services, fixing type and load—not just the screw size. Heavy items deserve careful planning.

Safety first

If you see sparks, smell burning, have uncontrolled water or feel unsafe, stop using the affected fixture and contact a professional.

Safe checks you can do now

  1. 1Identify whether the wall is concrete, block or gypsum
  2. 2Check the product weight and bracket rating. For this issue, note exactly when “tv mounting on concrete walls” happens.
  3. 3Keep clear of likely plumbing and electrical routes

Common causes

01

Fixings that do not match the wall type

A professional should test the component rather than replace parts by guesswork.

02

Loads placed too far from structural support

A professional should test the component rather than replace parts by guesswork.

03

Hidden pipes, cables or weak wall sections

A professional should test the component rather than replace parts by guesswork.

When to call a handyman

Book a professional when the problem returns, involves concealed services or could damage the property. Share your location, photos and anything you already tried.

How to prevent it

  • Use load-rated anchors and brackets.
  • Recheck fixings after the first weeks of use.
  • Do not exceed the manufacturer’s weight limit.
