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.

Splitting an aerial feed between several rooms can reduce signal levels if the distribution system has not been designed or balanced correctly.
Studs, insulation, noggins and other services inside new build walls can affect where low-voltage cables can be concealed.
External or internal cabling may need rerouting so the finished installation looks neat and follows a practical route to the TV system.
The installed TV point may not match where you actually want the television, furniture or seating positioned in the room.
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.
A wall plate can look complete even when the cable behind it has not been connected into a working aerial distribution system.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, where the wall construction is suitable. Full-motion brackets place different forces on a wall compared with fixed brackets, so the fixing points and wall structure need to be checked carefully before installation.
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. Once the aerial system is working correctly, the television can be retuned so it scans for the available Freeview channels from the correct transmitter.
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.
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, although the correct mounting method depends on how the cavity wall has been constructed and what material forms the internal wall surface.
A cavity wall may have blockwork with plaster, dot and dab plasterboard or another internal finish. Identifying the construction allows suitable fixings to be selected so the television is supported by the structural wall rather than just the surface material.
Not always. Some new build properties have TV points installed but may not have a completed or correctly connected aerial system. We can test the existing installation and identify what is required to receive a reliable television signal.
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.
