Can you hide the cables in the wall?

On plasterboard, almost always. On brick or concrete, we use trunking instead — neat but not invisible.

What size TV can a Bondi apartment plasterboard wall hold?

Up to ~75" with proper fixings into studs. Heavier than that, we anchor through to the masonry behind.

Will you mount a TV I bought online?

Yes — bring it out of the box and have the bracket ready. We supply standard brackets if needed.

TV wall mounting in Paddington

Paddington 2021 terraces are heritage Victorian — and most internal walls are lath-and-plaster on hardwood stud, often with original cornice and picture-rail trim that has to be navigated rather than removed. Mounting a TV here is precision work.

Paddington context

What tv wall mounting looks like in Paddington

The standard Paddington terrace has 90mm hardwood studs at irregular spacings, a 12mm plaster face on lath, and an original cornice line about 2.6m off the floor that limits TV placement. Sandstock party walls hold a TV beautifully but the perpend joints are crumbling — we offset every anchor to a brick face rather than a joint. We never use direct-to-plaster fixings on Paddington walls; everything goes through to a stud or brick with a backing plate to spread the load. Heritage council restrictions don't apply to internal work, but the standard of finish needs to match the rest of the home, which is high.

Recent: 75" in an Underwood Street terrace lounge. Mounted to the sandstock party wall, four chemical anchors offset to brick faces (none on perpends), cable chased through an existing electrical conduit, original cornice and picture rail unmarked. Half-day job, signed off by an interior designer overseeing the renovation.
