Hidden cable options
Wayside Point is a new-build development in Ellington, at Lynemouth Road, Ellington, Northumberland, NE61, by Ascent Homes. The location gives residents convenient access to Ellington and surrounding parts of the North East, while offering the practical benefits of a modern newly built home.
For homeowners moving into Wayside Point, 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 Ellington 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.

New homes can have TV outlets fitted before the final aerial or distribution setup is ready for use.
Modern large-screen televisions need the wall structure, bracket rating and fixing points checked before installation.
A wall plate can look complete even when the cable behind it has not been connected into a working aerial distribution system.
The main living room may be ready for television while bedrooms or other rooms have no usable aerial point where you need one.
A finished media wall can make installation harder if suitable structural support was not included where the television needs to be mounted.
Mounting positions and cable routes are easier to plan before furniture, decorating and room layouts make access more restricted.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. TV mounting and aerial work can be completed once you have access to the property and the relevant rooms and electrical points are available. Arranging the installation early means your televisions can be ready to use when you move in.
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. 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.
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. 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. 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.
Call Mick on 07886 732555 or send an enquiry through the website with your development, property location and details of the work required. With 23 years of experience, Mick can advise on the most suitable setup for your new home.
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.
