TV and Media Units in Bexley
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. Our work on TV and media units in Bexley starts with a design visit, and everything is made at our workshop.
- Bought furniture that does not suit the room
- Wasted space around the screen
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
TV and media units designed for your room
What prompts TV and media units in Bexley
Open-plan living is another reason. Built-in furniture makes that wall look planned.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- Space for a soundbar and speakers
- Games, controllers and remotes everywhere
- A TV stand that does not fit the wall
- Cables trailing across the wall
If you live near Danson Park, TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear.
Choosing a carpenter
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Will the quote be in writing?
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
TV and media units in Bexley
Cables are the part most people want to hide. Cable routes are built into the design 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. Most enquiries start with clutter around the TV and a TV stand that doesn’t fit the wall, and the answer is made at our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a semi from the 1920s or 1930s, the front room typically has a bay at one end and a chimney breast on the side wall. Interwar, semi-detached and detached houses make up a big part of the housing around Bexley, so it’s a layout worth planning for. TV and media units normally go on the chimney breast wall, leaving the bay clear.
Where other trades are needed, for instance an electrician to move a socket, we point that out. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

What else we make in Bexley
Tips worth knowing
The finish lasts best with a little care, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. These practical tips help:
- Let us know about access early
- Look at what the equipment makers say about airflow
- Book your electrician first if sockets need to move
- Note which boxes need line of sight for their remotes
Painted finishes feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. At first, lift boxes and speakers into place rather than pushing them to avoid marks.
Keep ventilation gaps and open backs clear as things change.
How fitting works for TV and media units
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared, as we’ll have talked about at the measuring visit. After that, it is over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. How long fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. It’s useful to clear the room and the route before we arrive. On the day, we cover the floors first, then bring the sections in. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit.
- We visit to measure and go through the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- A written quote follows, with the finish set out.
- 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.
Preparing the room
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
Ask for a quote
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, then send a written quote. Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. To arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Some closed off-the-shelf cabinets have little ventilation. We plan ventilation for boxes, consoles and amplifiers. 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 do not publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, discuss the design and then quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Why choose us

Built-in living-room furniture in Bexley
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Bexley were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 45%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 31%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Near the centre of Bexley, Historic England’s list includes Parish Church of St John the Evangelist (Grade II), under half a mile east, and Styleman's Almshouses (Grade II), about 0.5 miles east. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling can need listed building consent. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If your street in Bexley joins a main road, it’s worth telling us during the design visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
Red House, about 0.9 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. Living in a block of flats near Bexley station? Then check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.

Your questions about TV and media units in Bexley
I live near Bexley station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover the whole of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Bexley?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It is useful to tell us about parking during the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. We’ll explain what fitting day involves before we start.
What affects the price of TV and media units?
Size, doors and drawers, what goes inside and the finish all affect it, along with access and parking. We send a written quote after the design visit.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
The furniture is built in sections, sized for the route not just the room. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the measuring visit.
