Media wall Installation in Coley Park: All you need to know

Professional media wall installation in Coley Park can cost between £3,000-  £6,000 but this is dependent on the number of additional sockets and lighting requirements. Thurston First Electrical have found media wall installation a very popular service for homeowners across Coley Park. It’s a great way to upgrade your home's entertainment centre, bringing friends and family together.

How are media walls installed?

Personalised, customer built units use a combination of timber stud and plasterboard to create a flush look while hiding electrical wiring.  The first step requires careful planning to determine how many sockets you need for appliances like the TV, gaming consoles, routers and soundbars. Typical media wall installation doesn’t require planning permission but you will need to work with an electrician for lighting, outlets and wiring integrated into the unit. The team are incredibly proud of a media wall installation carried out on Boston Road in Coley Park. The homeowners had an impressive book collection, accumulated through years of travel and endless car boot sales. Ample shelving within the media wall was a necessity alongside picture lighting to display their books.

How much is media wall installation in Coley Park?

A professional, tailored media wall ranges from £3,000-  £6,000. This typically includes installing additional sockets and circuitry work, cabinetry and lighting, all topped off with a flush plaster finish. The more complex the media wall, the greater the cost. Especially when factoring in specific fireplace models or a particular style to fit in with the interior of your home. The semi detached property on Boston road had bay fronted windows and original features which the homeowners wanted to preserve so a little more complexity and skill were required by the team. The finished result was exactly what the homeowners wanted, perfect for entertaining guests but coupled with classic design.
