    Having installed AV equipment for years including video walls / VC equipment / Digital Signage etc I have never had any issues with Plasterboard with the correct fixings.

    Black Gloss Paint - lots of it ?

    Black Gloss Paint - lots of it ?

    I'm not considering English Heritage but more the large estate the building belongs to. I doubt very much there would be an issue, I had not considered changing colours originally due to every external fitting etc being a matching black....since the post saying why black is a bad colour I am...

    Black Gloss Paint - lots of it ?

    Didn't read that properly . . . . Why, comes down to cost! Independant charity school, last time it was done by previous tenants it cost almost £10k, were a year away from needing to do it but eaves are in dire need of attention so kill two birds with one stone and get it all painted. I would...

    Black Gloss Paint - lots of it ?

    Wouldn't say unqualified, only experience of painting is general house decorating, not in this scale. Thanks for the comment in the black paint causing issues, I will check on the colours as its grade 2 listed, not sure what scope we have in the lease

    Wall mounted TV bracket

    Its a nail of a bracket from CPC (we sometimes have to install with them, they're horrible). . . . if you havent got the legs from the back of the screen it's worthless.

    Mount TV on Insulated Plasterboard on Brick Chimney Breast

    No worries, good luck fitting it :P If you do find the boards starting to flex though you can always use a few of the large plastic spacers that normally come in the mount packaging to act as a bracer between the brick and the back of the mount.

    Multi-Tool Advice

    Couldn't agree more, I toyed with the cordless GOP but chose a corded one purely on things I read regarding battery life, really can't fault it for price and useage . . I just went for the basic one without the LLbox as I've got far too many boxes in my van already. Have used a couple of the...
