TV wall mounting in Lowestoft

Many of the older properties near the seafront and around the High Street have thick, solid walls, sometimes with damp or crumbling plaster near the coast. We drill through to sound brick and use anchors that hold firm, and we can run cables in slim trunking where chasing into an old wall isn't sensible. In flats with concrete walls, the right drill and fixings make all the difference.

• Plasterboard and stud walls

  The challenge

  Hollow walls can't hold a heavy TV on ordinary plugs, and the studs are rarely where you want the screen.

  How we do it

  We find the studs and fix into them, or use heavy-duty cavity fixings rated well above the TV's weight.

• Corners and alcoves

  The challenge

  A flat bracket leaves the screen angled away from where you actually sit.

  How we do it

  A full-motion arm that swings the screen round to face the sofa.

• Flats and rented homes

  The challenge

  Concrete walls, landlord rules and making good when you move out.

  How we do it

  The right drill and fixings for concrete, minimal holes and advice before we drill.

• Solid brick in older homes

  The challenge

  Soft Victorian and Edwardian bricks and lime mortar crumble if they're drilled carelessly.

  How we do it

  Careful drilling into sound brick, with resin or long anchors where the wall needs them.

For holiday lets around Lowestoft, Kessingland and Corton, we fit TVs that stay put, at a height guests find comfortable, with the cables hidden so nothing gets pulled out. We also mount screens in clubhouses and bars.
