Hidden cable options
The Fairways (Alnwick) is a new-build development in Alnwick, at Alnwick, Northumberland, NE66 2AA, by Wynyard Homes. The location gives residents convenient access to Alnwick and surrounding parts of the North East, while offering the practical benefits of a modern newly built home.
For homeowners moving into The Fairways (Alnwick), 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.

The main living room may be ready for television while bedrooms or other rooms have no usable aerial point where you need one.
Screen size, seating position, wall construction and bracket type all affect the final result.
Once the television is on the wall, poorly planned HDMI routes can make connecting Sky boxes, consoles and streaming devices awkward.
Mounting positions and cable routes are easier to plan before furniture, decorating and room layouts make access more restricted.
Some new build homes have internal TV sockets and cabling but no completed external aerial installation.
Different TV points can have different signal levels because of cabling, splitters, terminations or how the distribution system has been connected.
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.
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. 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.
The ideal height depends on your seating position, television size and the layout of the room. We can help position the TV at a comfortable viewing height rather than simply mounting it as high as possible on the wall.
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.
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. 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.
A fitted TV socket does not necessarily mean that a working aerial has been connected. There may also be an issue with internal cabling, connections, signal strength or the aerial itself. We can test the system and identify where the problem is.
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.
A television installed with unsuitable fixings can damage plasterboard, particularly with larger TVs or extending brackets that place additional leverage on the wall.
A professional installation takes the television weight, bracket design and wall construction into account. Where necessary, the bracket can be secured into structural studs, masonry or additional reinforcement rather than relying on the plasterboard itself.
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.
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.
