TV and media units for your home in Aperfield
Is it time for TV and media units?
Some want the TV to sit better in a period room. Building it into the alcoves or around the chimney breast makes it part of the room, rather than the focus of it.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A TV stand that does not fit the wall
- Boxes with no ventilation
- Leads that show from every angle
- Wasted space around the screen
If your children go to Biggin Hill Primary School or a school nearby, TV and media units can be planned with low cupboards for toys and higher shelves for everything else.

TV and media units in Aperfield
Cables are the part most people want to hide. We plan cable routes through the unit from the start, with openings and removable panels so you can add or swap leads later. We make the routes, and your electrician handles any wiring. If you’re living with equipment with nowhere proper to go and a TV stand that doesn’t fit the wall, TV and media units made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
A good part of the housing around Aperfield is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the front room may have a bay window at one end and a chimney breast on the side wall, and that layout shapes where TV and media units work best. Walls are often truer than in older houses, but they’re still measured carefully and scribed where they wander.
You get the quote in writing, so you can read it at your own pace and share it with anyone else involved. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

Living-room carpentry in Aperfield: local notes
About 29% of the homes in the area around Aperfield went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 25% between 1973 and 1999, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Near the centre of Aperfield, Historic England’s list includes St Mark's Church (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-west. For a listed home, works inside that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. On TfL’s red routes, the rules on stopping and loading are strict. If you live on or close to a main road in Aperfield, let us know at the design visit. It lets us plan the stop before fitting day.
Living in a block of flats near Oxted station? Then 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. Down House, about 1.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units.
Aperfield is about 6 miles north-east of Orpington, within the London Borough of Bromley. Design visits and fitting in Aperfield can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. Our work takes in places right across Bromley.

How fitting day works
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Some interwar and suburban streets have driveways, which can make unloading easier, so let us know at the measuring visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- At the design visit we agree the layout and talk about colour and finish.
- You get a written quote 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.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, and any hand painting is done in the room. Go gently with new paintwork while it cures.
Before fitting day
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Keep pets in another room while we work

Why bespoke in Aperfield?
Off-the-shelf TV units come in a few set colours. We paint ours in the colour you choose, sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand. Ready-made units come in standard depths that rarely suit every space, so they can stick out too far or waste space behind. Fitted furniture is made to the depth the space can take.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
What you get with us
- Made for your room, not a standard size
- We work across all London boroughs
- A spray or hand-painted finish
- Made in moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood

Questions from Aperfield
Is parking a problem for fitting in Aperfield?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Aperfield?
Yes, Aperfield is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Bromley and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, and then we send a quote.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Every job is priced for its room: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. The written quote follows the design visit.
Where should speakers go in a TV unit?
Speakers sound better in the open than shut in a cupboard. A shelf under the TV suits a soundbar, and larger speakers suit open shelves at the sides. Bring the sizes to the design visit.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It is made in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. At the design visit, we measure the route along with the room itself.
My walls are not straight. Is that a problem?
That is normal in older homes, and it’s what scribing is for. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.

DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
What we do not do
Damp treatment and building work are for other specialists, and there are a few other limits too:
- Connecting and setting up your equipment
- Moving sockets or adding new wiring, which is for your electrician
- Installing aerials, satellite dishes or broadband
