Most customers do not just want the TV on the wall. They want the cables hidden or tidied too.
TV Mount Mate offers internal cable concealment for suitable plasterboard and stud walls, plus neat surface cable management for brick, chimney breast, and solid walls. Both options are available across London, Essex, and Kent, either as part of a new TV wall mounting job or as a standalone cable tidy-up visit.
A neatly mounted TV deserves an equally tidy cable setup. Proper cable concealment improves the overall look of the room while helping keep cables organised and out of the way.
A wall-mounted TV with cables running down the front or sides still looks unfinished. Hiding or managing them properly completes the job.
HDMI, optical, and soundbar cables add up quickly. Planning the route at the start means the whole setup looks intentional, not cobbled together.
Loose cables at low level are a trip hazard. Getting them off the floor and out of sight makes the room cleaner and safer around children and pets.
Cable concealment has to be planned before any holes are made. We check the wall type, cable route, socket position, and nearby services before choosing the best cable route.
Our lead installer holds a Level 2 Electrical Installations qualification and follows safe working practices when checking cable routes before drilling.
Power cables are handled differently from HDMI and device cables. The full power cable guidance is explained below.
You can learn more about TV Mount Mate and see our qualifications on the About Us page.
We will always explain the route before work starts.
Power cables need separate checks
Power cables are handled separately from HDMI and device cables. If your setup needs a socket moved or a new power point added, a separate qualified electrician may be required for that part of the work. We will explain this clearly before the job starts.
The best cable concealment method depends on the wall construction. We assess the wall first and recommend the most suitable approach for your home.
Internal cable routing is often possible after the cavity and route are checked.
The cable route needs careful planning because metal studs can block or limit the path.
The hidden gap behind the board can limit the route, so the wall needs checking first.
For this service, neat surface trunking is usually the better option instead of chasing into the wall.
The route depends on wall construction, fireplace use, heat levels, and cable position.
Surface cable management is usually the most practical option because it is easier to remove than cutting into the wall.
We regularly manage cables for LG OLED and Samsung Frame TV installs, Sky Glass setups, Sonos Arc, Beam, and Ray soundbars, Apple TV and streaming devices, and games consoles. Whether it is one HDMI cable or a full multi-device setup, we plan the route before drilling anything.
Every cable concealment job starts with the wall type, cable route, exit point, and quote confirmed before any holes are made.
We confirm whether internal concealment or surface management is the right approach.
Number of cables, TV position, and exit point confirmed before any drilling.
Price confirmed before work begins. No surprises on the day.
Suitable cables are hidden or managed using the best method for the wall type. All TV, HDMI, soundbar, and connected device connections are tested, and the area is left clean and tidy before we leave.
65″ Sony Bravia 8 II · Canary Wharf · Plasterboard / metal stud wall · Apple TV · Hue Sync Box · Sonos Beam
A client in Canary Wharf wanted a 65-inch Sony Bravia 8 II mounted with a clean cable finish. The setup included an Apple TV, Hue Sync Box, Philips Hue Sync Lightstrip, and a Sonos Beam soundbar.
The wall had metal studs, so the cable route needed careful planning. We adjusted the cable route for the Philips Hue setup because the original route was limited and a metal stud affected the path.
We checked the wall, planned the route, mounted the TV and soundbar, and routed the suitable cables through the planned wall path. The final result looked clean and worked properly.
Jack Edgar left a 5-star Google review after this Canary Wharf installation. He mentioned the Sony Bravia 8 II, Apple TV, Hue Sync Box, Hue Sync Lightstrip, Sonos Beam, and cables routed into the wall through the planned cable path.
“Final result looks super clean and works great.”
He also said we helped him avoid a setup mistake that other installers had missed.
Cable concealment can be booked on its own for a TV that is already mounted. If your TV is on the wall and the cables were never sorted, get in touch and we will advise on the best option for your wall type.
Find answers to the questions customers ask most about TV cable concealment, wall types, power cables, and standalone cable tidy-up services.
On plasterboard stud walls, cables can often be routed through the wall cavity after the path is checked. On other wall types, neat surface cable management is usually the better option. We check the wall and cable route before work starts.
Yes. Standalone cable visits are available. In many cases the TV can stay on the wall, but we will advise after checking the setup. Send your wall type and number of cables before booking.
Power cables are handled differently from HDMI and device cables. If the setup needs a socket moved or a new power point added, we will tell you before work starts and a separate qualified electrician may be required.
For this service, we normally recommend neat surface trunking on brick or block walls instead of chasing into the wall. It can usually be painted to match the wall and most customers are happy with how it looks once it is done.
We plan the exit point as part of the cable route discussion before any drilling. Cables typically exit at a lower point behind a media unit, floating shelf, or at skirting board level. We agree with you before starting.
The price depends on the number of cable runs, wall type, route length, and whether the work is part of TV wall mounting, TV setup, or a standalone cable tidy-up visit. We give a fixed quote before any work starts. No deposit required. Pay on completion. TV Mounting Prices →
