What happens on fitting day
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it’s worth mentioning at the measuring visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit.
- 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.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which takes paint well, and birch plywood.
- 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
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
Starting with a design visit
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. We measure everything properly at the design visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To get started, get in touch through our contact form and let us know about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.
Advice
TV and media units for homes in Berry's Green
Cables are the part most people want to hide. Cable routes are built into the design from the start, with holes, channels and access panels so leads can be added or changed later. The routes are ours, while any wiring is for your electrician. People typically come to us about speakers muffled behind doors and empty alcoves beside the TV; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
A typical 1930s semi has a bay window at the front and a chimney breast with a recess either side. Around Berry's Green, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing, so that layout is worth knowing well. TV and media units normally go on the chimney breast wall, leaving the bay clear, though every room is measured first.
You get the quote in writing, so you can read it at your own pace and talk it over at home. It covers the design, materials and finish agreed at the visit.

Built-in living-room furniture in Berry's Green
About 29% of the homes in the streets around Berry's Green went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 25% between 1973 and 1999, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Berry's Green include The Old Jail Public House (Grade II), under half a mile north-west, and Bell Cottage (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for example removing original joinery or fixing into it, may need listed building consent from the council. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. The ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) now covers the whole of London, Bromley included. It applies to the vans that deliver and fit furniture in Berry's Green, as it does anywhere else in London. We plan parking and access with you at the design visit.
Down House, about 1.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place. For families living near Cudham Church of England Primary School, low doors that small hands can open, with books and ornaments higher up, suit a busy family room. If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them at the design visit, and we will plan the fitting around them.
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We cannot give advice on leases.
Bespoke TV and media units or ready-made?
Bought media units are made in set widths, so gaps are common. A bespoke unit is scribed to the walls and can run to the ceiling. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, which shows up against standard furniture. Built-in pieces are scribed to take up the difference.
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, so size is the starting point. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.

Could you do it yourself?
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: flat-pack is typically cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is awkward, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
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
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so go gently with it for a while. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
- Think about whether you want the screen on a bracket or on a shelf
Clean the paintwork with a soft cloth that is barely damp. Avoid abrasive pads and strong sprays.
Keep ventilation gaps and open backs clear when you add equipment.
Questions we are often asked
Is parking a problem for fitting in Berry's Green?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to let us know about parking at the design visit.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Berry's Green?
Yes, we work across Bromley, Berry's Green included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with some details.
Should I send photos?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit, along with rough measurements. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
How do you stop equipment overheating in a TV unit?
Media equipment runs warm and needs airflow. We design open backs, gaps or vents where it sits. Once it is in, don’t block the gaps.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you, and it is set out in the quote.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
