Hey everyone,
Recently completed my first house purchase and will be moving in soon and one of the first jobs I want to carry out is removing a relatively small electric fire place and surround mantle piece and then mount the TV on the feature wall. I had originally had planned to stick a sheet of plaster board over the holes with a small gap behind to run cables but with the wall having some coving at the top Im wondering if it might be easier to bolt the TV straight to the wall but Im not really sure what is behind the wall and how I could get the cables behind the wall.
Some background on the house, it is detached and the feature wall and the wall on which it is mounted is the outside wall. The lounge can be seen in the link below so you can get an idea of what the house is like:
4 bedroom detached house for sale in Applewood Close, Worksop, S81
My main questions are:
1. What is likely behind the wall? Will it be a brick wall or is there likely to be any space to run the cables?
2. Is there likely to be any items behind the wall that might inhibit the wall bracket such as a flu (despite it being an electric fireplace from build).
3. Any other details that I should be aware of?
Cheers,
Tom
