For homeowners moving into Riverbrook Gardens, 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 Alnwick 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.

A wall plate can look complete even when the cable behind it has not been connected into a working aerial distribution system.
Studs, insulation, noggins and other services inside new build walls can affect where low-voltage cables can be concealed.
Different TV points can have different signal levels because of cabling, splitters, terminations or how the distribution system has been connected.
A wall-mounted TV can look unbalanced if there is no suitable space or fixing arrangement for the soundbar below it.
Pull-out and swivel brackets place more leverage on the wall than a fixed bracket, so the fixing method needs careful assessment.
Screen size, seating position, wall construction and bracket type all affect the final result.
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. We can provide neat cable management to help create a clean, professional finish. Depending on the wall construction and the services already installed within the wall, cables may be concealed or routed using discreet cable management.
A professional installation is designed to keep wall disturbance to a minimum. The wall construction is assessed first so the correct fixing method can be used, and the aim is always to leave a neat, secure finish around the television and bracket.
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.
Often, yes. Where the wall construction and cable route allow it, low-voltage TV cables can be concealed for a cleaner finish. If concealed routing is not practical, discreet surface cable management can be used instead.
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 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.
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 TV aerial installation can be carried out after you have moved in. We can assess the property, existing TV points and suitable aerial position with the aim of keeping the installation neat and unobtrusive.
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.
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.
