Splitting an aerial feed between several rooms can reduce signal levels if the distribution system has not been designed or balanced correctly.
Placing the screen around fireplaces, furniture or existing sockets can push it higher than the most comfortable viewing position.
Wall mounting often looks unfinished when power, HDMI and aerial cables are left hanging below the screen.
The installed TV point may not match where you actually want the television, furniture or seating positioned in the room.
A weak or poorly distributed signal can cause pixelation, missing channels or intermittent reception even when some services appear normal.
Screen size, seating position, wall construction and bracket type all affect the final result.
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. 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, 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.
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.
In many cases, yes. The internal construction of the media wall needs to provide suitable fixing points and enough support for the television and bracket. We can assess the proposed mounting position before installation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
