Before and after fitting day
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it is worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
- Think about whether you will upgrade the screen
- Decide where you’ll sit, so the screen height suits it
Cupboard doors may settle slightly with use. Most hinges can be adjusted to bring a door back in line.

TV and media units in Acton Green
Speakers need space to be heard properly. A soundbar can sit on a shelf below the screen, while larger speakers suit open shelves at the sides. Speakers work best in the open rather than behind closed doors, so we leave open bays for them. We make TV and media units from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the things people most often want solved are a tangle of wires behind the TV and a big screen that dominates the wall.
A large share of the homes around Acton Green were built before 1919, which in London mostly means Victorian and Edwardian houses. Main rooms in houses like these usually have a chimney breast with an alcove on each side, which gives TV and media units an obvious place to go. Because old walls bow and floors slope, the units are scribed to follow the wall and levelled at the base, then cut neatly around the skirting and any picture rail or cornice.
The written quote is your record of the job. It sets out the TV unit designed for your room, what it is made from and how it’s finished, and it’s what the workshop builds to.

Built-in living-room furniture in Acton Green
In the streets around Acton Green, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 51%) and the years since 2000 (about 22%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. 14 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of central Acton Green. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules. Where a home in Acton Green is on or beside a main road, it helps to mention that during the design visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Church of St Michael and All Angels, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent. Hogarth's House, about 0.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
Acton Green is about 2 miles west of Ealing, in the London Borough of Ealing.

How fitting works for TV and media units
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it is going into, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If your hall still has its original tiles or boards, they’re covered before any carrying starts. Drilling into lath and plaster is done with care, so the plaster around stays sound. Decorating around the furniture afterwards is for your decorator.
- To begin, get in touch through our contact form; a brief note on the TV wall and everything that plugs into it is plenty.
- At the design visit we measure the wall and plan cable routes and ventilation, as set-top boxes, consoles and amplifiers need air.
- A quote in writing follows for the unit.
- The unit is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable openings and vents cut in.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Getting a quote
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To arrange it, message us from the contact page. The written quote follows the visit.
Advice
How we price TV and media units
There is no set price, because there is no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- The number of doors and drawers
- Spray painting or hand painting
- The internal fittings
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. We’ll talk through what you need inside during the design visit.
What to send when you get in touch
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. Just send what you can:
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Examples of the look you’re after
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing for you to look over. To arrange the visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
When you need someone else
We design, make and fit the furniture. In practice, that means:
- Connecting and setting up your equipment
- Removing a chimney breast or any structural work
- Any electrical work (your electrician handles that, and Part P covers some of it)
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can send us a few details through our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.

Your questions about TV and media units in Acton Green
Is Acton Green in the area you cover for TV and media units?
Yes, Acton Green is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Ealing and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Can you fit TV and media units to the uneven walls of an older house in Acton Green?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
Do I choose the paint colour?
The choice is yours, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. Check your lease, as we can’t advise on it.
Is there room for a soundbar?
We plan open spaces for speakers and soundbars. Closed doors muffle sound.
Can the TV unit fit a bigger TV later?
We can size the opening for the screen you might buy next. Tell us the size you have in mind.
What prompts TV and media units in Acton Green
Others are tired of furniture that does not fit. Standard TV stands rarely suit an tricky wall, and that’s where a bespoke unit helps.
Most of the enquiries we get are about things like these:
- Somewhere to keep games tidy
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
- A TV stand that doesn’t fit the wall
- A big screen that dominates the wall
For a flat near South Acton station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
