Hidden cable options
The Woodlands is a new-build development in Newcastle, at Primrose Lane, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE13 9ET, by Charles Church. The location gives residents convenient access to Newcastle and surrounding parts of the North East, while offering the practical benefits of a modern newly built home.
For homeowners moving into The Woodlands, 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 Newcastle 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.

New homes can have TV outlets fitted before the final aerial or distribution setup is ready for use.
Wall mounting often looks unfinished when power, HDMI and aerial cables are left hanging below the screen.
A wall plate can look complete even when the cable behind it has not been connected into a working aerial distribution system.
Mounting positions and cable routes are easier to plan before furniture, decorating and room layouts make access more restricted.
Different TV points can have different signal levels because of cabling, splitters, terminations or how the distribution system has been connected.
Splitting an aerial feed between several rooms can reduce signal levels if the distribution system has not been designed or balanced correctly.
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.
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. 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, 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. Plasterboard stud walls are common in both modern and new-build homes and can normally support a wall-mounted television when the installation is planned correctly.
Where possible, the bracket will be fixed into the studs behind the plasterboard. The correct installation method will depend on the TV size, bracket and construction of the wall.
Yes. Pixelation, channels disappearing or intermittent signal problems can be caused by poor signal strength, damaged connections, unsuitable equipment or aerial positioning. We can test the signal and recommend the appropriate solution.
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. 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.
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.
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. Once the aerial system is working correctly, the television can be retuned so it scans for the available Freeview channels from the correct transmitter.
