Into the studs, not just the plasterboard

A television weighs more than plasterboard can hold. The bracket has to reach the timber studs behind it, or masonry anchors have to go into brick or concrete. We find the studs first, mark them, and fix into them. On a wall that has nothing solid where the TV needs to sit, we open it up and add a timber noggin between the studs so the bracket has something to bite into.

Cables are the other half of the job. On a stud wall we cut a neat opening behind the screen and a second one lower down, run the HDMI and aerial leads through the cavity and finish both ends with brush plates, so nothing hangs down the wall. Brick and concrete walls have no cavity to use, so a slim cable cover painted to match the wall usually looks better than chasing into the masonry.

We do not touch power points. Adding or moving an outlet behind the TV is electrical work for a licensed electrician, and running mains cable inside a wall cavity is not something a carpenter should do. If you want a new outlet behind the screen, book an electrician and we will work around each other. We mount TVs in apartments in Surfers Paradise, newer homes around Coomera and Pimpama, and older houses across Logan and Brisbane’s south.

What we do

TV mounting jobs we do

Fixed and tilting brackets
Your bracket or ours, fixed into studs, brick or concrete, levelled and checked before the TV goes on it.
Full-motion arms
Swing-out brackets for corners and kitchens, fixed so the wall takes the load when the arm is fully extended.
Cables hidden in the wall
HDMI and aerial leads run inside a stud wall between brush plates, so nothing is visible below the screen.
Cable covers
On brick and concrete, a slim duct fitted straight and painted to match, which looks tidier than a chase cut into masonry.
Soundbars and shelves
A soundbar bracket under the screen, or a floating shelf for a console, fixed to the same studs.
Built-out TV walls
A new wall in front of the old one with a recess for the screen and lit niches beside it, with every cable inside.

FAQ

TV mounting questions

Can you mount a TV on any wall?

Almost. A stud wall takes a bracket straight into the timber, and brick or concrete takes masonry anchors. Plasterboard on its own will not hold a TV, so the bracket has to reach something solid behind it. We find the studs before anything is drilled.

Can the cables be hidden inside the wall?

On a stud wall, yes. We cut a neat opening behind the TV and another lower down, run the cables through the cavity and fit brush plates at both ends. On brick or concrete a slim cable cover painted to match the wall is usually the tidier answer.

Do you do the power point behind the TV?

No. Moving or adding a power point is electrical work and needs a licensed electrician. We hang the TV and run the HDMI and aerial cables; if you want a new outlet behind it, book a sparky for the same day and we will work around each other.

How high should the TV go?

Sitting eye level is the usual guide, which puts the middle of the screen around 100 to 110 cm off the floor for most lounge rooms. Over a fireplace looks neat but is often too high to watch comfortably. We will hold it up before fixing anything so you can see it.

Will there be holes if I move the TV later?

There will be bracket holes, and we patch and sand them if you ask. That is ordinary plaster work for us, so it can be done on the same visit as any other patching.

Do you build the recessed wall with the niches?

Yes. Building the wall out in front of the existing one gives a cavity for every cable and a recess for the TV and a soundbar. It is carpentry and plasterboard rather than a bracket job, so it takes longer, but nothing is visible afterwards.
