TV & Aerial Installer Newcastle can provide TV wall mounting, aerial installation, television setup and tuning, and neat cable management for homes across Ashington 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.

Splitting an aerial feed between several rooms can reduce signal levels if the distribution system has not been designed or balanced correctly.
Modern large-screen televisions need the wall structure, bracket rating and fixing points checked before installation.
Small faults at sockets, plugs or distribution points can cause signal problems that look like an aerial fault.
Screen size, seating position, wall construction and bracket type all affect the final result.
A finished media wall can make installation harder if suitable structural support was not included where the television needs to be mounted.
The installed TV point may not match where you actually want the television, furniture or seating positioned in the room.
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.
Yes. Dot and dab walls require different fixings from conventional solid masonry walls. With dot and dab construction, plasterboard is attached to the blockwork using adhesive, leaving a small cavity behind the board.
Specialist fixings can bridge this gap and secure the TV bracket into the solid wall behind it. Using ordinary wall plugs can compress or damage the plasterboard, so identifying the wall construction first is important.
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, 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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
