Queens Park context

What tv wall mounting looks like in Queens Park

Almost every Queens Park internal wall built before 1925 is timber-stud lath-and-plaster, often with a horsehair fibre additive in the plaster mix. The lath spacing is irregular, the plaster is thicker at the top of the wall than the bottom, and the studs sit at imperial spacings (typically 16" β€” 406mm β€” centres). We map studs with a fine-tip stud-finder, then through-fix with structural screws and a hardwood backing plate so the load on the plaster face is zero. The original picture rail almost always sits above the planned TV β€” we run cables behind it where possible.

Recent Queens Park job

Recent: 55" in an Edwardian semi off Yenda Avenue. Two structural studs at 16" spacing, hardwood backing plate spanning both, neat cable run dropping behind the original picture rail to a hidden conduit at the entertainment unit. Half-day job; the homeowner kept the picture rail untouched.

Our process β€” same standard, every booking

    Stud finder plus knowledge of where Bondi sparkies usually run cables. We don't drill blind.

  2. 2

    Mount square

    Bracket levelled to the laser, not the (usually crooked) skirting.

  3. 3

    Tidy cables

    In-wall conduit run on plasterboard; trunking on solid walls.

TV Wall Mounting questions, answered

  • Can you hide the cables in the wall?
    On plasterboard, almost always. On brick or concrete, we use trunking instead β€” 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 β€” bring it out of the box and have the bracket ready. We supply standard brackets if needed.
