Our TV and media units across Richmond upon Thames
TV units are made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. You choose a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, in a colour agreed with you. We work across London, including Richmond upon Thames once the design and quote are agreed. We make TV and media units from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, 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.
You’re welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving everything tidy. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You get in touch and let us know about the room and your equipment.
- We come to measure, note the sockets and agree the layout.
- You receive a written quote setting out the unit, materials and finish, ready for you to check.
- The unit is built in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the cable routes ready to use.
How our quotes work
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.

Starting with a design visit
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space. To send them over, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
Around Twickenham
Around Twickenham, we cover homes near The Cabbage Patch pub, St Richard Reynolds Catholic Primary School and Marble Hill Park and the streets around them.

The nearest railway station is Twickenham station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.

TV and media units for homes across Richmond upon Thames
Across Richmond upon Thames, 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’s sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand.
The biggest shares of homes in Richmond upon Thames were built before 1919 (about 38%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 24%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. 9 of the 19 places in Richmond upon Thames with their own pages here have their centre inside a conservation area, according to Historic England’s data. The rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission.
We cover the whole of London, so homes in Richmond upon Thames are well within our area. If you are unsure about access or parking, mention it when you contact us.
Twickenham: For a flat near Twickenham station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. If you live near Marble Hill Park, TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear.
What affects the price in Richmond upon Thames
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- How square the room is
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Spray painting or hand painting
- The width and height of the space
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, and that is part of the price. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design.
Getting in touch
Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. Where you can, include:
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Where you live, with the postcode
Getting a quote starts with some details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, send us a few details through our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, then send a quote in writing.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s typically 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 use the full height and width.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
A wide shelf under the TV needs stiffness. Birch plywood helps.
Spray-painted finish
A spray-painted finish is applied in our workshop, giving a smooth, even surface that suits a modern TV wall.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Richmond upon Thames
Games, controllers and remotes need a home. Cupboards and drawers in the unit keep them in one place, and open shelves hold what’s used every day.
Here’s what TV and media units can help with:
- Set-top boxes stacked on a stand
- Cables trailing across the wall
- Bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room
- A TV that looks out of place in the room

Questions from Richmond upon Thames
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It can be done with some care: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. Damp treatment is not something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
Will the cables be hidden?
We design the unit so cables run out of sight. Routes, openings and removable panels let you add or change leads later without taking the unit apart. For a wall-mounted TV, a route behind the screen is planned in.
Will my boxes get too hot inside the unit?
Media equipment runs warm and needs airflow. The unit is planned with open backs or gaps where boxes go, rather than sealing it in a cupboard. Once it is in, do not block the gaps.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
What if I buy a larger TV?
We can size the opening for the screen you might buy next. It helps to know the size you’re thinking of so the space and cable routes suit it.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
What are your TV and media units made from?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. MDF gives a smooth, stable surface for paint; birch plywood is strong and good for shelves and drawer boxes, and the quote says which is used where.
