Hidden cable options
The Maples is a new-build development in Newcastle, at 17 Florian Drive, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE13 9FP, by Persimmon Homes. The location gives residents convenient access to Newcastle and surrounding parts of the North East, while offering the practical benefits of a modern newly built home.
For homeowners moving into The Maples, 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 Newcastle 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.

Some new build homes have internal TV sockets and cabling but no completed external aerial installation.
Wall mounting often looks unfinished when power, HDMI and aerial cables are left hanging below the screen.
Once the television is on the wall, poorly planned HDMI routes can make connecting Sky boxes, consoles and streaming devices awkward.
The main living room may be ready for television while bedrooms or other rooms have no usable aerial point where you need one.
The installed TV point may not match where you actually want the television, furniture or seating positioned in the room.
The original socket positions may become impractical once wardrobes, media units, sofas or other furniture are placed in the room.
Dot and dab walls are particularly common in newer UK homes. They normally consist of plasterboard fixed over blockwork with adhesive rather than timber studs.
The wall may sound hollow in certain areas when tapped, but this alone does not confirm the construction. An installer can check the wall before drilling and choose the correct fixings for the TV bracket.
Yes. We regularly install TVs in new build properties and can securely mount your television in the best position for the room. We take the wall construction into account before choosing the correct fixings and mounting method.
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. Cable management can include HDMI, aerial, network and other low-voltage leads used by devices such as Sky boxes, streaming equipment and games consoles. The best route depends on the wall construction and where the equipment will be positioned.
The price depends on the work required, including the television size, bracket type, wall construction, cable management and whether any aerial or additional TV point work is needed. Contact us with details of your new build property and the installation you require for a quotation.
Different Freeview services can be transmitted on different frequencies, so a weak or poorly distributed signal may affect some channels more than others. Signal testing can identify whether the issue is reception, cabling, connections or the aerial system.
Yes. Testing the existing signal helps identify whether the problem is the aerial, cabling, connections, distribution equipment or local signal level. A replacement aerial should only be recommended when the tests show it is needed.
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. If your property already has TV sockets installed, we can test the cabling and connections to determine whether they are correctly connected to an aerial or distribution system.
There is no single mounting method that works for every new-build property. New homes can contain timber stud walls, metal stud walls, dot and dab plasterboard and solid masonry walls, sometimes within the same property.
The safest approach is to identify the wall construction first and then select the appropriate bracket and fixings. This also gives you the opportunity to plan hidden TV cables, power sockets, aerial connections and equipment positioning before the television is mounted.
Yes. This is a common concern, particularly with larger televisions and plasterboard walls.
Before installation, the wall construction and proposed mounting position can be assessed along with the weight of the television and bracket. The appropriate mounting method can then be chosen before any installation work begins.
