Hidden cable options
West Meadows @ Arcot Estate is a new-build development in Cramlington, at Beacon Lane, Cramlington, Northumberland, NE23 8FP, by David Wilson Homes. The location gives residents convenient access to Cramlington and surrounding parts of the North East, while offering the practical benefits of a modern newly built home.
For homeowners moving into West Meadows @ Arcot Estate, planning TV positions, aerial points and cable routes early can help keep rooms tidy and make the most of the new-build finish. TV & Aerial Installer Newcastle can provide TV wall mounting, aerial installation, television setup and tuning, and neat cable management for homes across Cramlington and the wider area.
We provide and install quality TV wall brackets suited to your television, wall type and the position you want your screen mounted.
The fixings we use will depend on the construction of your wall, including internal stud walls, solid brickwork and other common wall types.
Before any drilling begins, we will discuss the best position for your TV, taking viewing height, room layout and cable access into account so the finished installation looks neat and secure.
If you want a clean, uncluttered finish, we can look at suitable options for hiding the cables connected to your wall-mounted TV.
With 23 years’ experience installing TVs, we have a range of ways to route and conceal cables depending on the construction of the wall and the equipment being connected.
We will discuss the available options with you during the quotation process and recommend a practical solution that keeps the installation tidy while still allowing access where needed.
We install TV aerials and set up reliable Freeview reception for new build properties.
Whether your home has been pre-wired or needs a complete aerial system installed, we can connect and configure everything ready for use.
We can also check signal strength, aerial positioning and existing cabling to make sure your new home has a strong, dependable TV signal from day one.

Bedrooms, kitchens and family rooms may need extra points once you decide how the rooms will actually be used.
A wall-mounted TV can look unbalanced if there is no suitable space or fixing arrangement for the soundbar below it.
Once the television is on the wall, poorly planned HDMI routes can make connecting Sky boxes, consoles and streaming devices awkward.
Builder-installed sockets are not always positioned around your sofa, dining layout or chosen furniture, leaving the TV in an awkward place.
Different TV points can have different signal levels because of cabling, splitters, terminations or how the distribution system has been connected.
The installed TV point may not match where you actually want the television, furniture or seating positioned in the room.
Yes. TVs can be securely mounted on timber frame walls when the structural timbers behind the plasterboard are located correctly.
The TV bracket can usually be fixed into these timbers to provide a strong mounting point. The installer will also consider cables, electrical wiring and pipework that may be concealed within the wall.
Yes. Dot and dab walls require different fixings from conventional solid masonry walls. With dot and dab construction, plasterboard is attached to the blockwork using adhesive, leaving a small cavity behind the board.
Specialist fixings can bridge this gap and secure the TV bracket into the solid wall behind it. Using ordinary wall plugs can compress or damage the plasterboard, so identifying the wall construction first is important.
Yes. TVs can be mounted safely on plasterboard walls when the correct installation method and fixings are used. We assess the wall before installation and determine the safest way to support the weight of your TV and bracket.
Yes, where the wall construction is suitable. Full-motion brackets place different forces on a wall compared with fixed brackets, so the fixing points and wall structure need to be checked carefully before installation.
Yes. Large modern televisions, including OLED and QLED models, can be wall mounted when the wall, bracket and fixings are suitable for the size and weight of the screen. The installation is assessed before the TV is lifted into position.
A loft aerial may be possible in some properties, although roofing materials, insulation and the local signal strength can affect reception. An external aerial will often provide a stronger and more reliable signal where reception conditions are difficult.
Yes. Pixelation, channels disappearing or intermittent signal problems can be caused by poor signal strength, damaged connections, unsuitable equipment or aerial positioning. We can test the signal and recommend the appropriate solution.
A fitted TV socket does not necessarily mean that a working aerial has been connected. There may also be an issue with internal cabling, connections, signal strength or the aerial itself. We can test the system and identify where the problem is.
Not always. Some new build properties have TV points installed but may not have a completed or correctly connected aerial system. We can test the existing installation and identify what is required to receive a reliable television signal.
Yes. We can test existing TV sockets and cabling to see whether they are connected correctly and carrying a usable signal. This is useful when a new build has pre-installed TV points but the finished system is not working as expected.
Yes. Once you have legal access to the property and the relevant rooms are ready, TV wall mounting and aerial work can usually be arranged without waiting until every box has been unpacked.
It is sensible to check any relevant builder or developer warranty conditions if you are unsure about alterations to walls. The installation itself should still use fixings and methods appropriate for the construction of the property.
