Can you mount a TV above a fireplace?

Yes, though we discuss viewing angle and heat exposure with you first — screens mounted above a fireplace are typically too high for comfortable extended viewing and may be exposed to heat from certain fire types. Where you still want this position, we handle the cable drop through the chimney breast.

My walls are plasterboard — can you still mount a TV safely?

Yes. The critical requirement is that the bracket fixings go into the timber studwork behind the plasterboard, not into the plasterboard itself. We always locate studs with a professional stud finder. For screens where no stud falls in the right position, we use a specialist horizontal noggin or plywood backing panel.

Can all the cables be hidden?

On plasterboard walls, full in-wall cable concealment is achievable. On brick, blockwork or stone, surface trunking gives a neat and professional result. We discuss both options and their respective costs before starting — there are no surprises.

What height should my TV be mounted at?

The centre of the screen should sit at roughly eye level when you are seated — for most standard sofas this is 100–110cm from the floor. We set the height to suit your room and furniture during installation.

How We Work — TV Wall Mounting in Farnham

Step 1: We assess the wall type and locate timber studs or masonry — the correct fixing approach depends entirely on what the wall is made of
Step 2: The bracket is positioned at the correct height for comfortable seated viewing — typically 100–110cm from floor to screen centre, not just at standing eye level
Step 3: On plasterboard walls, cables are routed inside the wall cavity using surface-fitted conduit for a clean finish; on masonry, neat surface trunking is used

TV Aerial Installation in Farnham

A correctly installed digital aerial is the foundation of reliable Freeview reception. Our engineers carry Ofcom-approved wideband aerials, high-gain models and loft-mounting kits — and always test signal strength before and after installation to confirm full HD channel reception on every multiplex.
Satellite Dish Installation in Farnham

Whether you want Sky Q, Freesat or foreign satellite channels, precise dish alignment is everything. A dish a single degree off true south loses half its signal in poor weather. Our engineers use professional-grade signal meters to align every dish to the exact azimuth and elevation for your satellite — never by eye.
CCTV Installation in Farnham

A CCTV system is only as effective as its camera placement. Cameras positioned for ease of installation rather than coverage provide an incomplete picture and limited deterrent value. Our engineers assess your property first — identifying entry points, blind spots and the optimal camera positions — before selecting any equipment.
Smart CCTV & Doorbell Cameras in Farnham

Smart video doorbells and outdoor cameras from Ring, Google Nest, Eufy and similar brands are straightforward to buy but often poorly installed. Correct camera angle, a reliable WiFi connection at the installation point, and proper app configuration are all critical for the system to work as advertised.
Aerial & Satellite Repairs in Farnham

Signal faults almost always have a specific, identifiable cause. Our engineers carry calibrated test meters and the most common replacement parts on every van — most faults are diagnosed and resolved in a single visit without the cost of a follow-up appointment.
Multi-Room TV Systems in Farnham

A correctly designed multi-room TV system lets every TV in your home tune to a different Freeview channel simultaneously — without the interference or quality loss of cheap signal splitters. Our engineers specify the correct amplifier for your number of outlets and test signal level at every point before completion.
Starlink Installation in Farnham

Starlink performance depends almost entirely on the dish having a clear, unobstructed view of the northern sky. A poorly sited dish with even partial obstruction can halve throughput and cause frequent outages. Our engineers use the Starlink obstruction app to survey multiple positions before any mounting work begins.
Wireless Alarm Installation in Farnham

A wireless alarm that generates false activations quickly gets turned off and never used again. Correct PIR sensor placement, appropriate alarm grading and properly configured monitoring make the difference between a system that genuinely protects your property and one that becomes a source of frustration.
Commercial Installation Services in Farnham

Commercial TV distribution, CCTV networks, data cabling and AV systems for hotels, offices, care homes and retail premises require system design, project management and careful scheduling around operational requirements — all of which our commercial team provides as standard.
Soundbar & Home Cinema Setup in Farnham

Most soundbars underperform not because of their quality but because of how they are set up. HDMI ARC settings incorrectly configured, Dolby Atmos passthrough disabled on the TV, subwoofer positioned in a room corner for convenience rather than acoustics — all common, all easy to fix with the right knowledge.
WiFi Optimisation & Mesh Networks in Farnham

WiFi dead spots almost never have anything to do with your broadband speed. The cause is almost always physical — walls, floors, the distance between your router and the devices that need it most. The solution is either a correctly placed access point or a mesh system with nodes positioned to eliminate the specific dead zone, not just placed wherever is convenient.
Smart Home Setup in Farnham

Most smart home frustration comes from devices from different manufacturers that were never designed to work together, placed on the wrong platform, or set up without automations that make the technology genuinely useful. Our engineers untangle these integrations and set up the automations that make a smart home actually smart.
Data Cabling & Structured Networks in Farnham

A wired Ethernet connection delivers consistently lower latency, higher speed and more reliable performance than any WiFi solution. For home working, 4K streaming to multiple rooms, online gaming and network storage, structured data cabling is the most effective long-term infrastructure investment you can make in your home.
Gutter Cleaning & Repairs in Farnham

Blocked gutters are one of the most common and most preventable causes of damp, foundation damage and fascia rot in UK homes. Most properties need gutter cleaning twice a year — once after autumn leaf fall and once in spring — to prevent the water ingress that causes expensive structural repairs.
