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.

For homeowners, that means straightforward advice, careful installation and one point of contact from enquiry through to the finished job.
The main living room may be ready for television while bedrooms or other rooms have no usable aerial point where you need one.
Pull-out and swivel brackets place more leverage on the wall than a fixed bracket, so the fixing method needs careful assessment.
A low power outlet can leave visible cables after wall mounting unless the TV position and cable route are planned together.
Modern large-screen televisions need the wall structure, bracket rating and fixing points checked before installation.
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.
Bedrooms, kitchens and family rooms may need extra points once you decide how the rooms will actually be used.
Yes. TVs can be securely mounted on timber frame walls when the structural timbers behind the plasterboard are located correctly.
The TV bracket can usually be fixed into these timbers to provide a strong mounting point. The installer will also consider cables, electrical wiring and pipework that may be concealed within the wall.
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.
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, provided the TV bracket is secured correctly to the timber or metal studs behind the plasterboard. Heavy TVs should not simply be attached to plasterboard using ordinary screws.
The position of the studs needs to be identified and suitable fixings used to transfer the weight into the structure of the wall. If the studs do not line up with the ideal TV position, alternative mounting or reinforcement solutions may also be possible.
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.
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. Additional TV points can often be installed in bedrooms, living rooms and other suitable areas. We will assess the property and recommend the neatest and most practical way of providing the additional connection.
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.
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. 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.
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.
