🔧 DIY Tips

🔧 You'll need: Trunking (right size), saw, adhesive and/or screws, spirit level, measuring tape

💡 Getting it right:

  1. Measure cable route carefully
  2. Buy trunking sized for your cable bundle
  3. Keep runs straight and level
  4. Cut corners at 45° for neat joints
  5. Secure every 30-40cm minimum

⚠️ Common mistakes: Trunking too small (cables won't fit), not level (looks awful), inadequate fixing (falls off wall), sharp bends (cables damaged)

Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Good to Know

Whole room? TV wall with multiple cables plus speakers around room - I can plan and install complete cable management system.

Exeter's older properties: Solid walls take screws well. Plasterboard walls need careful fixing to avoid trunking pulling off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cable trunking?

Plastic channels that run along walls hiding cables inside. Much neater than cables trailing down walls. Comes in various sizes depending on how many cables you're hiding. Can be painted to match walls.

What cables can you hide?

Most low-voltage stuff - TV aerial, HDMI, ethernet, phone, speaker cables. NOT mains power cables - those need different treatment (proper electrical work). I'll advise what can and can't go in trunking.

How much trunking do I need?

Measure from where cables currently are to where you want them to go. Add a bit extra for corners and cutting. I can measure and advise when I quote - bring photos or I'll visit to assess.

Can you paint it?

You can paint white PVC trunking to match your walls - light sanding first helps paint stick. Or buy pre-colored trunking. Most people leave it white - blends with skirting and door frames.

How is it fixed to walls?

Adhesive for small runs on good walls. Screws for longer runs or heavy cable loads. Combination of both usually - adhesive backing plus occasional screw for security.
