Flat Screen TV Installation Q & A


FLAT SCREEN INSTALLATIONS AND HIDING YOUR CABLES


Q. DO WE HIDE YOUR CABLES WITHIN THE PRICE?


A. NO,
When we install your TV screen this does not include hiding cables as people have all different types of cables and equipment connected to their screens, and in most cases it is almost impossible to hide them without being seen, we do however try to make the cable runs as discreet as possible where ever we can when we install.

Q. CAN I HAVE THE CABLES HIDDEN AFTER THE INSTALL?


A. YES,
You can of cause have all the cables hidden once you have finally had your screen installed and then know where all your equipment and leads have been located, you would need to chase the walls out in some cases from the screen to where your equipment is and then plaster and re-decorate,

May we stress at this point, chasing walls is not always the best idea as most people will change equipment and cables frequently each year, and if you need to change or add cables or equipment this is then not always possible without chasing the walls again and then re-decorating once again.

Q, IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO HIDE THE CABLES?


A. YES,
This option is to use inexpensive plastic Trunking from the TV screen to your other equipment, this is a cheaper option but again the screen needs to be fully installed first and the cables from the screen need to be connected to your equipment so as to know how many and size of cables are being installed before you decide,
Then you can then choose the right Trunking size and type for hiding all your cables.

This can be done at any time at low or little cost and by doing this yourself it will save you a lot of money.

Q. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHASE WALLS AND HIDE THE CABLES?


A. This work can be very expensive to do unless of cause you can do this yourself and you are good at DIY, or you have a friend or family member who can do this work for you, but remember you will need to decorate afterwards.

Chasing walls is primarily a building and decorating job builders can charge between £45-£90 per hour and the cost would be dependent on the amount of chasing and plastering of walls needed an average job could cost around £200 to £400 and of cause the walls have to be decorated again this can cost even more if wall paper is required and the job could cost as much as £300 to £600.

BUT PLEASE NOTE:
That if you chase the walls out and decorate but you then decide to change any of the equipment or cables, you would then need to do all of this work again;
Therefore Trunking is the best option in most cases as this means you can change your cables and your trunking whenever required at low or no cost to yourself.

I WOULD STILL LIKE TO HAVE MY WALLS CHASED OUT AND PLASTERED AFTER THE TV INSTALL HAS BEEN DONE


OK.
IF YOU STILL REQUIRE YOUR WALLS TO BE CHASED OUT AND THE CABLES HIDDEN AFTER YOUR SCREEN HAS BEEN INSTALLED.

Then We Can Of Cause Have This Job Priced Up For You Separately Once Your Screen Has Been Fully Installed, or we can as least point you in the right direction for this work to be done.
