TV Wall Mounting in Orpington

Property Types

Orpington is an extensive outer suburb that developed across several decades following the arrival of the railway. Petts Wood (BR5) is a particularly well-planned interwar suburb built in the 1930s on the Basil Scruby estate — rows of detached and semi-detached houses with consistent architectural character and solid construction. Farnborough and Green Street Green are similarly dominated by interwar and early post-war houses. Orpington town centre and the roads around the High Street have older Victorian and Edwardian properties alongside interwar development. Post-war council and private housing fills a significant portion of BR5 and BR6, particularly on the outer edges. Some newer private estates have been built on former farmland near Chelsfield and the rural fringes. The area is predominantly house-based with few high-rise or apartment developments.

Common Wall Types

Interwar properties in Petts Wood, Farnborough, and Orpington have cavity brick external walls — solid, reliable, and straightforward for TV mounting. Internal walls in these houses are typically plasterboard on timber stud or lath-and-plaster in earlier 1920s–30s builds. Post-war housing uses brick externally and plasterboard on timber stud or light concrete block internally. Victorian and Edwardian properties near Orpington town centre have solid single-skin brick. Newer build homes from the 1990s onward use plasterboard throughout internally, sometimes on metal stud. We carry all fixings appropriate for every construction type found across BR5 and BR6.
