One room works but another does not

Hidden cable options
Cottier Grange is a new-build development in Prudhoe, at Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42, by Gentoo Homes. The location gives residents convenient access to Prudhoe and surrounding parts of the North East, while offering the practical benefits of a modern newly built home.
For homeowners moving into Cottier Grange, 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 Prudhoe 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.

Different TV points can have different signal levels because of cabling, splitters, terminations or how the distribution system has been connected.
A bracket that works on a solid wall may not be appropriate for the construction of a plasterboard or stud wall without the correct support and fixings.
Small faults at sockets, plugs or distribution points can cause signal problems that look like an aerial fault.
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.
A smart TV can work perfectly over Wi-Fi while its aerial connection still has no usable terrestrial television signal.
Yes. A soundbar can often be mounted below or close to the television to create a tidy combined installation. The exact position will depend on the TV, soundbar, bracket and wall layout.
Yes. We can install TVs in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, home offices and other suitable rooms. Multiple installations can be completed during the same visit where required.
They can be, but full-motion brackets place considerably more leverage on the wall than a fixed bracket because the television can extend away from the mounting surface.
For this reason, secure structural fixing becomes especially important. The wall type, stud positions, television weight and maximum extension of the bracket should all be considered before installation.
Yes. The right bracket depends on the television size and VESA pattern, the wall construction and whether you want the screen fixed, tilted or able to move away from the wall. We can advise on a suitable bracket for the installation.
You can supply your own suitable TV bracket, or we can advise on the type of bracket required for your television and installation. Fixed, tilting and full-motion brackets can all be installed depending on the room and viewing position.
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. Once the aerial system is working correctly, the television can be retuned so it scans for the available Freeview channels from the correct transmitter.
Yes. Depending on the property layout and the existing aerial system, a new TV point can often be added to a bedroom, kitchen, office or other suitable room.
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.
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. 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.
TVs can be mounted onto most common UK wall types, including solid brick walls, blockwork walls, hollow plasterboard walls, timber stud walls, dot and dab walls, cavity walls and timber frame new-build walls.
The installation method and fixings will change depending on the wall construction, television size and bracket being used.
