From workshop to your room
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. For a flat, building rules and lift booking are worth checking early; if you live in a house, let us know about steps, paths and parking. We plan the details of the day at the design visit. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit.
- We visit to measure, note the sockets and agree where everything will go.
- You receive a quote setting out the layout and the paint finish, for you to look over.
- The unit is made in our workshop, with cable routes and vents built in, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, scribed to the walls and ready for your equipment.
Before fitting day
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Starting with a design visit
Photos 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 share them, send us a few details through our contact form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.

About our TV and media units in Belvedere
In a room with a chimney breast, the alcoves either side are natural places for media storage. The alcoves can take cupboards for equipment and shelves above. We keep any vent in the chimney breast clear. Typical reasons to get in touch are set-top boxes stacked on a stand and equipment running hot in a closed cupboard, and the answer is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Wherever your home in Belvedere sits in London’s mix of housing, the furniture is designed around your room rather than a standard size. Older rooms bring uneven walls and picture rails, while newer ones bring plasterboard walls and boxed-in pipes. We measure for whichever you have, and the pieces are made to suit.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it is easier before the furniture is made.

Why bespoke in Belvedere?
Standard units come in fixed sizes, so gaps are common. Ours are scribed to the walls and can run up to the ceiling with shelves and cupboards around the screen. Few rooms have truly flat walls and level floors, and standalone units show it with gaps and wobbles. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, 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.
Why choose Bespoke Carpentry in Belvedere

Flats, leases and landlords
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, and that is best sorted before fitting day. We can’t advise on your lease, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you.
TV and media units in Belvedere: local notes
In the neighbourhood around Belvedere, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 26%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 22%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Belvedere include Parish Church of All Saints (Grade II), less than half a mile south-west. If your own home is listed, changes inside that alter its character, such as fixing into or removing original joinery, may need listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. About 37% of households around Belvedere live in purpose-built flats, well above the figure for Bexley as a whole, about 21%, according to Census 2021. So the route in, from stairs to lifts, is part of the design.
Close to Lesnes Abbey Woods? TV and media units can be planned to frame a window with a view rather than block it. The wider area includes historic houses like Red House, about 2.3 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. If your children go to Lessness Heath Primary School or a school nearby, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.

DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there is often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
What it’s made from
Moisture-resistant MDF
Wide panels around a screen need to stay flat. MDF gives smooth, even surfaces for painting.
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribing trims the edges on site to follow the wall.
Questions we’re often asked
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Belvedere station?
Yes, homes across Bexley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Belvedere?
Yes, Belvedere is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Bexley 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.
How is the price worked out?
Every job is priced for its room: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. You’ll get a quote in writing once we’ve measured up.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
It needs a little planning: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Do TV units need ventilation?
Ventilation is designed in wherever equipment sits, with open backs, gaps or openings. We give each box its own space and you can check the maker’s guidance on clearances.
