TV and media units in Wandsworth: how it works
The screen size comes first. We plan the space around the TV you have, or the one you expect to buy, with room around it so it doesn’t look squeezed. Viewing height matters too: it should suit where you sit, not just the wall. We make TV and media units from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the usual reasons to get in touch are leads that show from every angle and alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste.
At the end, we tidy up and lift the floor protection. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and explain how to look after the paint. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- We visit to measure and talk through the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- You get a quote in writing covering the design, the materials and the finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray-painted finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- We fit it in your home; a hand-painted finish is applied once it is in and is easy to touch up later. Go gently with new paintwork while it cures.
What goes into your quote
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

TV and media units across Wandsworth: local notes
Homes across Wandsworth, Clapham Junction, Battersea and Putney included, have living rooms of every shape. The design for TV and media units includes cable routes and ventilation where there’s a TV, with any new sockets left to your electrician. Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood keep the pieces stable.
Homes built before 1919 make up about 44% of the housing in Wandsworth, with about 21% built since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. More than a third of the homes in Wandsworth (about 44%) were built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Older houses usually have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit a TV in the middle and media storage either side, with cable routes and ventilation planned in. About 48% of households in Wandsworth live in purpose-built flats, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
In London, the route into a home matters as much as the room, so we look at both at the design visit.
Clapham Junction: If you live near Imperial Park, shelving that stops short of the window keeps the view of the green. If your children go to Christ Church CofE Primary School or a school nearby, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place.
What prompts TV and media units
In an open-plan space, the TV wall is on show from everywhere. A built-in unit gives that wall order.
TV and media units can help with:
- A tangle of wires behind the TV
- Empty alcoves beside the TV
- Set-top boxes stacked on a stand
- Somewhere to keep games tidy
Flats, conversions and lettings
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. We choose fixings to suit the wall, which we check at the design visit.
Caring for painted furniture
Most of what helps is simple. Here’s what we suggest:
- Choose how the TV will sit before the design is finished
- Note which boxes need line of sight for their remotes
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
When you change equipment, use the cable routes we planned. It keeps the unit tidy.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves.
Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
Cupboard doors keep equipment out of sight, with openings or gaps where air needs to move.
Shelves
Open shelves suit speakers and things you want on show.
When is bespoke worth it?
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. Off-the-shelf furniture can’t typically do that in an older room.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that are not square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths.
Common questions about TV and media units
Will you travel outside London?
No. We only take on work in London, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
How do I get started?
Simply fill in our short enquiry form. It is useful to send rough sizes and a few pictures, and we will arrange a design visit.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. We make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let as well as for homeowners. We will need access agreed with any tenants for the visit and for fitting day.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and discuss the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and a written quote follows.
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 is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Wandsworth?
Yes. We cover Wandsworth. To arrange a design visit, message us from the contact page.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room, but it helps to be around at the end.
