Hidden cable options
Meadow Hill is a new-build development in Throckley, at Hexham Road, Throckley, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE15 9FW, by David Wilson Homes. The location gives residents convenient access to Throckley and surrounding parts of the North East, while offering the practical benefits of a modern newly built home.
For homeowners moving into Meadow Hill, 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 Throckley 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.

For homeowners, that means straightforward advice, careful installation and one point of contact from enquiry through to the finished job.
A weak or poorly distributed signal can cause pixelation, missing channels or intermittent reception even when some services appear normal.
A finished media wall can make installation harder if suitable structural support was not included where the television needs to be mounted.
Once the television is on the wall, poorly planned HDMI routes can make connecting Sky boxes, consoles and streaming devices awkward.
Placing the screen around fireplaces, furniture or existing sockets can push it higher than the most comfortable viewing position.
Small faults at sockets, plugs or distribution points can cause signal problems that look like an aerial fault.
A completed aerial installation may only feed the original rooms, so adding another TV can require an extra point or changes to the distribution setup.
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.
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.
In many cases, yes. The internal construction of the media wall needs to provide suitable fixing points and enough support for the television and bracket. We can assess the proposed mounting position before installation.
Yes. A TV can usually be mounted safely on a hollow wall, but the correct fixings and installation method are essential. The wall construction, TV weight, bracket type and position of the wall studs all need to be assessed before installation.
For larger or heavier televisions, additional reinforcement or fixing directly into the structural studs may be required. TV & Aerial Installer Newcastle can inspect the wall and recommend the safest mounting method before fitting the TV.
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.
Not every property needs one. An amplifier should only be installed when the signal levels and distribution setup require it. We can test the system first rather than adding unnecessary equipment.
Yes. A properly designed aerial distribution system can supply multiple TV points around the home. The number of rooms, cable runs and available signal level determine whether additional distribution equipment is required.
In many properties, yes. Existing aerial cabling can often be rerouted or an additional point can be installed so the television is positioned where it works best for the room.
Yes. We provide TV aerial installation for new build homes across Newcastle and Northumberland. The best aerial position will depend on the property, local signal conditions and the construction of the home.
It is worth checking if the TV points do not work, channels are missing or the signal breaks up. New build homes can have internal TV cabling already installed even when the final aerial connection or external aerial setup still needs attention.
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.
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.
