Hi i want to wall mount a tv in a bedroom and have the power cables hidden .
The house is a new build and the wall is a stud which i presume has insulation inside.
I want to mount the tv in the centre of the wall .
Obviously i want to stay within any regulations .
I have a 2 gang socket in the lower left corner of the wall . and a light switch on the middle right side of the wall
What are my options ,
Can i drill hole in the wall behind the tv and i fit brush plates , then again at the bottom of the wall and run the tv's standard power cable ,along with the arial lead , will i need to run it through trunking ?
Or could i fit a socket behind the tv and run the cable down inside the wall then accross to the 2 gang socket , Is this what is known as a spur ?
Again would i need to use trunking ?
Are both option legal within reg's and am i allowed to do this ?
thank you
