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.
