How much does it cost to hide TV cables inside the wall?

5 min read · Written by Mustafa Husain, Founder of SAS4HomeIT · Published September 28, 2026

Hiding TV cables inside the wall is priced as an add-on to the base wall-mounting job, not included in the AED 150 starting price, since it means cutting in-wall boxes and routing cable through the wall itself rather than just mounting a bracket.

Why it costs more than a plain mount

In-wall low-voltage cable kits, the extra cutting and finishing work, and the additional time all add real labor on top of a standard mount, which is why it's quoted separately rather than folded into the base price.

In-wall kit vs cable trunking

If drilling into a concrete wall for in-wall routing isn't wanted or isn't practical, cable trunking or a raceway kit is a cheaper, tidier alternative that can be painted to match the wall without cutting into it.

What actually determines the final price

Wall type (concrete is more work to route through than drywall), the distance between the TV and the power outlet or media box, and the number of cables involved all factor into the final quote.

The power outlet is a separate consideration

If there's no power outlet near the mounting height, that's a real limitation. Hiding the power cable specifically requires a dedicated in-wall power kit or a licensed electrician to add or move an outlet, not something a TV installer handles directly, for safety reasons.

What we quote

We look at cable count, wall type, and outlet location before quoting the cable-hiding add-on, rather than assuming one flat price fits every wall.

Frequently asked questions

Is cable hiding included when I book TV wall mounting?

No, it's priced separately from the AED 150 base mounting price, since routing cable through the wall takes meaningfully more time than a plain mount.

Can you hide the power cable too?

The power cable specifically needs a dedicated in-wall power kit or an outlet moved by a licensed electrician, not simply looped behind the drywall, for safety reasons.

What's the alternative if I don't want to cut into the wall?

Cable trunking or a raceway kit that can be painted to match the wall is a much tidier alternative to loose cables, without needing to disturb the wall itself.
