We provide and install quality TV wall brackets suited to your television, wall type and the position you want your screen mounted.

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.

Small faults at sockets, plugs or distribution points can cause signal problems that look like an aerial fault.
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.
Once the television is on the wall, poorly planned HDMI routes can make connecting Sky boxes, consoles and streaming devices awkward.
Placing the screen around fireplaces, furniture or existing sockets can push it higher than the most comfortable viewing position.
Pull-out and swivel brackets place more leverage on the wall than a fixed bracket, so the fixing method needs careful assessment.
Different TV points can have different signal levels because of cabling, splitters, terminations or how the distribution system has been connected.
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. Large modern televisions, including OLED and QLED models, can be wall mounted when the wall, bracket and fixings are suitable for the size and weight of the screen. The installation is assessed before the TV is lifted into position.
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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
