TV and media units across Lewisham: what to expect
Speakers need space to be heard properly. A soundbar normally sits just below the TV, while larger speakers suit open shelves at the sides. Closing speakers in a cupboard muffles them. Most enquiries start with clutter around the TV and a TV that looks out of place in the room; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. Next, we carry in the sections made in our workshop, one at a time. The time the 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.
- 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.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and 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. A hand-painted finish is done on site, if you chose one.
How our quotes work
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.

TV and media units for homes across Lewisham
Across Lewisham, a living room might be a double reception room in a terrace or a single open-plan space in a block. Either way, TV and media units are planned around how the room is used day to day. The finish is agreed with you, spray-painted or hand-painted.
In Lewisham, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 36%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 18%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Of the 22 places we have local pages for in Lewisham, 6 have their centre inside a conservation area, going by Historic England’s records. The rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Controlled parking zones cover much of inner London, so it helps to mention parking at the measuring visit.
We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and Lewisham is part of that. Every job starts the same way, with a design visit to measure and discuss the design.
New Cross: For a flat near New Cross station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Public Library, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
Where other trades come in
Before you plan the job, it is useful to know what we don’t do:
- Removing a chimney breast or any structural work
- Aerial, satellite or broadband installation
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
Is bespoke worth it?
Bought units often have a single cable gap, but cables normally still show somewhere. We plan the cable routes into the design, with access panels for changes later.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
Materials and finishes
Moisture-resistant MDF
There’s no grain to show through the paint for a smooth finish. The moisture-resistant grade is our choice.
Doors and drawer fronts
Doors can hide boxes and clutter and are planned with ventilation where needed.
Flats, leases and landlords
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you get in touch.
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it.
Do you need TV and media units?
Others are tired of furniture that doesn’t fit. Standard TV stands rarely suit an tricky wall, and a bespoke unit is made for the space.
Requests we hear often include:
- A big screen that dominates the wall
- Equipment running hot in a closed cupboard
- Wasted space around the screen
- Space for a soundbar and speakers
Questions from Lewisham
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. Whichever finish you pick, it’s in the colour you’ve chosen.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture to avoid condensation. If there’s damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
How do you stop equipment overheating in a TV unit?
Equipment gives off heat, so it needs air around it. The unit is planned with open backs or gaps where boxes go, rather than sealing it in a cupboard. Once it’s in, do not block the gaps.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Walls and floors that aren’t true are part of the job in older homes. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so there are no gaps at the sides.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you contact us.
Can a TV unit hold speakers?
We plan open spaces for speakers and soundbars. Closing speakers behind a door muffles them.
How do you hide the TV cables?
We design the unit so cables run out of sight. Access panels make future changes easy. For a wall-mounted TV, a route behind the screen is planned in.
