Our TV and media units across Brent
In a room with a chimney breast, the alcoves either side are natural places for media storage. The alcoves can take cupboards for equipment and shelves above. Any chimney vent is kept clear. Typical reasons to get in touch are leads that show from every angle and equipment with nowhere proper to go; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it sits neatly against the room. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- To begin, use our contact form; a brief note on the TV wall and everything that plugs into it is plenty.
- We visit to measure up, note where the sockets are and plan how the cables will run.
- A quote in writing follows for the unit.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, leaving routes for cables and gaps for air.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
What affects the price in Brent
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, which the quote allows for. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.

How to get a quote
It is useful to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, particularly with rough sizes. To send them over, message us from the contact page, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
Landmarks near Kilburn
We fit furniture in homes around Maida Vale School, Marylebone Boys' School and St Anne's and St Andrew's. Other local landmarks include Queen’s Park (a few minutes’ walk west), Salusbury Primary School (less than half a mile west) and The Brondesbury Arms (close by, under half a mile south-east). Kilburn has its own railway station: Queens Park (London) station. Nearby you’ll also find Paddington General Hospital (1 mile south) and Brent Museum and Archives (1.3 miles north-west). For a walk, there is Greville Place nature reserve.
Living-room carpentry across Brent
Period homes in parts of Brent bring bowed walls and uneven floors, and TV and media units are scribed to them on site. In newer homes across Brent, the challenge is more often a plasterboard wall, which needs the right fixings.
In Brent, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 32%) and before 1919 (about 28%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. About 32% of homes in Brent date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Houses from the 1920s and 1930s often have a bay window and a chimney breast in the front room, and TV and media units are planned around both. Of the 29 places we have local pages for in Brent, 29 have their centre inside a conservation area, going by Historic England’s records. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission.
Our area covers the whole of London, all 32 boroughs and the City, Brent included. Wherever you are, the job starts with a design visit.
Kilburn: If you live near Queen’s Park, shelving that stops short of the window keeps the view of the green. If you live in a flat close to Queens Park (London) station, TV and media units are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
An off-the-shelf TV stand is cheaper and quick to buy. It is also easy to replace a stand when your equipment changes. A built-in unit is planned for your room and your equipment.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
Practical tips
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. Here are some things worth bearing in mind:
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
- Note the screen size you have or plan to buy
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- Decide where you’ll sit, so the screen height suits it
When you change equipment, use the cable routes we planned instead of making new ones. It keeps the unit tidy.
Leave any new socket or wiring work to your electrician, and don’t daisy-chain adaptors.
Flats, conversions and lettings
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of.
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Tell us about them during the design visit, so fitting day is planned around them.
What affects the cost of TV and media units
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. The main factors are:
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- The width and height of the space
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking and unloading on your street
There is no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote, with the materials and finish set out. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Before the design visit
You don’t need exact measurements or a plan. Just send what you can:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Approximate measurements of the space
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Examples of the look you’re after
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and talk through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit for you to look over. To arrange the visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Materials and finishes
Shelves
Long shelves need the right thickness or a support so they stay straight.
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting can be done in your home after fitting. Small marks are simple to touch up.
Your questions about TV and media units in Brent
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
That is normal in older homes, and it is what scribing is for. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Tell us when you contact us if a Saturday suits you best.
Do you fit furniture for landlords?
Yes. Landlords and letting agents can arrange a design visit in the same way as anyone else. We’ll need access agreed with any tenants for the visit and for fitting day.
Can a TV unit hold speakers?
We plan open spaces for speakers and soundbars. Closed doors muffle sound, so we leave them open.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. Some leases need the building owner’s consent before you make alterations. We can’t advise on leases, so please check yours.
Can the TV be wall-mounted with a unit around it?
Where the TV is to be wall-mounted, we plan the unit around the bracket. The bracket needs a sound wall, which we look at during the design visit.
