LB ElectricalsMedia wall electrics and installation in Doncaster
A media wall lives or dies on its electrics. The TV needs power exactly where it sits, every cable needs a hidden route, the electric fire needs a supply that can handle it, and the LED lighting needs to look deliberate rather than bolted on. Get those right and the wall looks like it grew there.
We do media wall electrics and installation across Doncaster and Sheffield. Steve, whose review you'll find below, called his media wall a cracking job — which is the brief for every one we take on.
What's included
Every media wall is different, but the electrical ingredients are usually some mix of:
- Sockets positioned behind the TV and inside cabinets — no visible cables
- Hidden routes for HDMI, aerial and speaker cables, with room to pull more through later
- A supply for an electric fire, sized for the load
- LED strip and accent lighting, switched or dimmed from where you'd actually use it
- Extra sockets around the wall for consoles, soundbars and whatever comes next
Our process
Media walls reward planning — everything is easy before the plasterboard goes on and annoying after:
- Design chat — where the TV sits, what's going in the wall, where you watch from. Photos or a sketch are plenty to start with.
- Fixed quote — for the electrical work, or for more of the job if we're handling more of it.
- First fix — cables, boxes and supplies in place before the wall is boarded, coordinated with your joiner or plasterer if you're using one.
- Second fix and testing — sockets, fire connection, lighting, all tested. Where a new circuit is added, an Electrical Installation Certificate is issued on completion.
- Tidy-up — dust managed, waste gone, and the TV mounted if you'd like it done while we're there.
How pricing works
Media walls vary more than any other job on this site, so the quote follows a conversation. What moves the price:
- The size and design of the wall — how many points, how much lighting
- Whether an electric fire is included, and what supply it needs
- Wall construction — a new stud wall is easier than chasing an existing solid one
- How much of the job is ours: electrics only, or the wider build
- What's already nearby — a socket on the same wall shortens the cable runs
Planning your media wall
Think about the room before the wall. Where does daylight come from, and will it hit the screen? Do you want the fire and the TV both centred, or offset? Where will the consoles and boxes live — inside the wall, or in a cabinet beside it?
Bring us in before the frame goes up. The most expensive media wall problems are the ones discovered after plastering: no socket where the soundbar goes, no route for a cable that turned out to matter. An hour of planning at the start costs nothing and saves opening up a finished wall.
Work carried out in line with applicable UK wiring regulations and good industry practice.

Frequently asked questions
Can all the cables really be hidden?
Yes — that's the point of doing the electrics before the wall is finished. Power, HDMI, aerial and speaker cables all run inside the wall, and we leave a way to pull new cables through later, because TVs change more often than walls do.
Does an electric fire need its own circuit?
It depends on the fire — some plug in, some need a dedicated supply. Tell us the model before the wall is built and we'll size the supply for it. Where a new circuit is added, an Electrical Installation Certificate is issued on completion.
Do you work with joiners and builders?
Yes — if a joiner is building the frame, we coordinate first fix around them and come back for second fix once it's boarded. Plenty of media wall jobs around Doncaster and Rotherham run exactly that way.
How long does a media wall take?
The electrical side is typically a day or two spread across first and second fix, with the building and plastering happening in between. The full timeline depends on the design — a chat and a sketch gets you a real answer.
