dang, that's the cleanest mount I have seen yet. I have been seeing people with 3D printed mounts, but I don't think enough people are aware that the camera uses the same common thread as 95% of personal digital cameras... you can just get something like this and be done in 5 min for $8

I got these because they're designed for adhesives instead of making holes and a lot more inconspicuous.
That said, the adhesive included is incredibly strong and will probably mar your wall when you remove it (it did for me), the second time I installed them I peeled off the included adhesive and used some indoor double sided tape that comes off cleanly
So I'm trying to get a good handle on the roomscale setup.
I understand that oculus thinks 2 in the front and one in the corner is the best setup with 13ft max from the furthest sensor, but what about height from the floor? I didn't see anything about that. I like to use something like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPRLV8M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 that one reddit user mentioned on the walls.
Does all 3 need to be the same height? My option for a holder for the 3rd sensor would be a tripod or the corner of the room but not sure yet if that is 13ft or not.
oh sorry, yeah I got these and they adhere well too https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPRLV8M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the threads are the same as camera/tripod threads, so any 1/4" camera mount will work. You could get an adhesive one like this or one of the other varieties if you don't think you'll need the double hinge.
I ordered a male-to-female ball joint to get mine at a sharper angle due to mounting it in the middle of a wall in a narrow room. It arrives tomorrow, so if no one else verifies that this will work, I'll let you know tomorrow.
I use three of these.

They work perfectly, and the base is flat so you can just hang it with 3M wall mounting strips. No screws, and won't tear off your paint.
I personally bought 3 of these and they are perfect for my 3 Oculus Sensors (waiting for the 3rd sensor to come in).

I've used that stuff at my job, and the vertical grip strength is ridiculously strong, but horizontal strength isn't that great. Also the adhesive needs to cure for a few minutes before it gets a good grip.
I recommend: something like this instead.
same seller but I bought these ones https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPRLV8M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1&th=1 i take the 3M double sided tape and tear it off and I put on industrial strength velcro.
I used these to mount my 3 sensors this past weekend. I put them 8.5' up the wall and they work great. You could probably mount lower but I'm 6'8" so I opted for a higher mount.
Sorry I don't have UK price / link, but these are what I used for my CV1.

They are cheap, very adjustable, and stick on. Fair warning though, the sticky bit it comes with is extremely strong. When I took down my wall mounted setup, I had to work them off with a scraping tool. You don't necessarily need this specific mount, but I imagine this is probably along the lines of what you are looking for. You should be able to find similar, maybe cheaper.
They do make adhesive-backed camera mounts (like this) but that VHB stuff can be difficult to clean. There's also some with spring-loaded clamps as well as c-clamp like mechanism so if you had a bookshelf or bed nearby, you could clamp it to that. Or you could just get some cheap tripods and use those (and you could break those done and store them for when you're not using VR).
