Good to know before you start
Know your wall
Brick, block and plasterboard walls each need different fixings. Plasterboard needs heavy-duty cavity fixings or fixing into the studs, so say if the wall sounds hollow when you knock on it.
Cables in walls
Cables buried in walls must run in safe zones, straight up, down or across from a socket or switch, so they can be found later. This comes from the wiring regulations, BS 7671.
Bracket size
Check your TV's VESA hole pattern and weight in the manual so the bracket matches. If you do not have a bracket, Emir can supply one.

Questions
TV Mounting: good to know
Can the cables be hidden when a TV is wall mounted?
Yes, on most walls. TV cables can be run inside a plasterboard wall, chased into a solid wall and plastered over, or covered with neat trunking where the wall allows neither. Emir Handyman will tell you what suits your wall once he sees a photo.
Can a TV be mounted on plasterboard?
A TV can be mounted on a plasterboard wall using heavy-duty cavity fixings rated for its weight, or by fixing into the timber or metal studs behind the board. Large TVs on swing-arm brackets put more load on the wall, so send Emir Handyman your TV size and bracket type.
