About TV and media units in Lambeth
A built-in TV unit gives the screen, the boxes, the speakers and the cables one planned home. Instead of a stand, a tangle of wires and a few odd shelves, the whole wall is designed at once. If you’re planning a TV unit in Lambeth, we start with a design visit to measure and talk through what you use. Typical reasons to get in touch are clutter around the TV and equipment running hot in a closed cupboard; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
At the end, we tidy up and take up the floor coverings. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and explain how to look after the paint. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- To begin, tell us about the room on 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. If you need new sockets, your electrician should do that before fitting.
- A quote in writing follows for the unit.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, leaving routes for cables and gaps for air.
- We fit it in your home and leave the cable routes ready for you to use.
Quotes in Lambeth
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it.

TV and media units for homes across Lambeth
Across Lambeth, 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. You choose the colour, and whether it is sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand.
The biggest shares of homes in Lambeth were built before 1919 (about 40%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 17%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. About 40% of homes in Lambeth were built before 1919, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Older houses typically have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit a TV in the middle and media storage either side. Flats in converted or shared houses account for about 22% of households in Lambeth, according to Census 2021. Conversions often leave rooms in unusual shapes, with partition walls, boxed-in pipes and chimney breasts in odd places, and the route in may go through a shared hall and stairs. A lease can require consent for alterations, so it’s worth checking yours first.
The ULEZ has covered every London borough since August 2023, and TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules.
Stockwell: If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Stockwell Green United Reformed Church, 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. For a family home near St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.
Flats, conversions and lettings
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We can’t advise on your lease, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Tell us about it when you get in touch.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
If you are handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
Before and after fitting day
People planning TV and media units often ask about these. They help before and after fitting:
- Note the screen size you have or plan to buy
- Let us know about access early
- Plan any new sockets with your electrician before fitting
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
Cupboard doors may settle slightly with use. Most hinges can be adjusted to bring a door back in line.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves, and no single shelf overloaded.
What it’s made from
Moisture-resistant MDF
A large TV wall needs flat, stable panels. MDF gives smooth, even surfaces for painting with crisp edges.
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting lets you see the colour in the room’s own light. Scribed edges are painted along with the rest.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Lambeth
Families with consoles, games and controllers want them tidied away. Cupboards and drawers in the unit keep them in one place, and open shelves hold what’s used every day.
We are often asked to help with:
- Clutter around the TV
- A cabinet that traps heat
- A TV stand that doesn’t fit the wall
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
FAQs: TV and media units in Lambeth
Do you work in Lambeth?
Yes. We design and make TV and media units for homes in Lambeth, and the process is the same everywhere we go.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and talk through the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a quote in writing.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Typically not. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings may need listed building consent for works that affect their character.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
What affects the price of TV and media units?
Every job is priced for its room: size, internal fittings, the finish and how awkward the walls are all play a part. You will get a written quote once we’ve measured up.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. Landlords and letting agents can arrange a design visit in the same way as anyone else. We’ll need access agreed with any tenants.
How do I get started?
It is easiest to fill in our short enquiry form with a few details about the room. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
