TV and media units across Hounslow: what to expect
Sockets often need to move for a built-in TV wall, behind the screen or inside a cupboard. That job is for your electrician, and some electrical work in homes falls under Part P of the Building Regulations. Ideally it’s done before the unit goes in. We make TV and media units from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are speakers muffled behind doors and boxes with no ventilation.
At the end, we tidy up. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and explain how to look after the paint. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and the fitting days are set out in your quote.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you. Any new sockets are a job for your electrician.
- You receive a quote setting out the layout and the paint finish, for you to look over.
- The unit is built in our workshop, with cable routes and vents built in, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the unit goes in, is levelled and scribed, and the cable routes are left clear.
How our quotes work
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. A larger piece means more material and more time, so size comes first. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.

Living-room carpentry across Hounslow
Across Hounslow, including Feltham, Brentford and Isleworth, homes come in every age and type. In older houses, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units; in newer ones, a full wall often works better. Each design starts by measuring the room.
About 29% of the homes in Hounslow went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 20% since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (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. A quarter or more of the homes in Hounslow (about 29%) date from between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Interwar front rooms usually have a bay at the front and a chimney breast on the side wall, and TV and media units are planned around both. Of the 25 places we have local pages for in Hounslow, 11 have their centre inside a conservation area, according to Historic England’s data. The rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission.
Since August 2023, the Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all of London, and TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules, so access to homes in Hounslow is planned ahead of time.
Hounslow: Living in a block of flats near Hounslow station? Then it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If you live near Inwood Park, TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear.
Tips worth knowing
New paint needs time to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Let us know about access early
- Check where the seating will go
- Think about whether you’ll upgrade the screen
- Choose how the TV will sit before the design is finished
Paint is dry to the touch well before it has fully cured. At first, lift boxes and speakers into place rather than pushing them.
Keep ventilation gaps and open backs clear when you add equipment.
Pricing TV and media units in Hounslow
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. The things that affect it are:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Parking near your home
- The overall size of the piece
There’s no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing, with the materials and finish set out. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
What we need to know
A few details help us understand the job before we visit. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Where you live, with the postcode
Rough measurements are fine at the start. We measure everything properly during the design visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To get started, tell us about the room on our contact form. The written quote follows the visit.
Flats, leases and landlords
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Tell us about it when you contact us.
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations. We cannot advise on your lease.
What prompts TV and media units
Boxes, consoles and routers on the floor are a familiar sight. A media unit gives each box its own ventilated space, and keeps the floor clear.
Here are some of the needs we are asked about most:
- Space for a soundbar and speakers
- Somewhere to keep games tidy
- Alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste
- Standard units leaving gaps
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Most stands have a cable hole or two at the back, but cables usually still show somewhere. A built-in unit has routes planned through it, with access panels for changes later.
What to check before you book
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- A written quote that sets out the job
Questions from Hounslow
Can a TV unit hold speakers?
Speakers sound better in the open than shut in a cupboard. A soundbar can sit on a shelf below the screen, and larger speakers suit open shelves at the sides. Bring the sizes to the design visit.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
The furniture is built in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. At the design visit, we measure the route as well as the room.
What if I buy a larger TV?
The space can be sized for a larger TV. Tell us the size you might move to at the design visit.
What affects the price of TV and media units?
Each room is quoted on its own: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. The written quote follows the design visit.
How long will the fitting take?
The time on site depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We’ll talk you through what to expect beforehand.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It’s something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, but it is useful to be around at the end.
