Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through.
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall, which we check at the measuring visit.
TV and media units in Bopeep
Sockets often need to move for a built-in TV wall, like behind the screen or in the equipment cupboard. That’s work for your electrician. Ideally it’s done before the unit goes in. People normally come to us about bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room and equipment with nowhere proper to go, and the answer is made at our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
With interwar houses or semis a big part of the picture around Bopeep, many living rooms have been opened up to the dining room behind. That leaves a long room with a chimney breast on one side, which suits TV and media units along that wall. At the design visit we plan any cable routes and ventilation the room needs.
A quote in writing is the clearest record of what we’ve agreed. It sets out the TV unit designed for your room, its materials and its finish, and the workshop works from it.

What happens on fitting day
With the carcasses fixed and level, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, then checked again. 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. It helps to clear the room and the route before we arrive. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
- To begin, send us a few details through 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.
- 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.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
Getting a quote
To make a start, tell us about the room on our contact form and tell us a little about the room. We then arrange a design visit to measure and go through the design, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
Advice
Tips worth knowing
People planning TV and media units often ask about these. They’re worth knowing before and after fitting:
- Tell us about parking and access during the design visit
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
- Think about whether you want the screen on a bracket or on a shelf
- Check where the seating will go
Dust collects around equipment and vents, so a quick clean now and then helps. It keeps air moving.
Avoid piling devices on one shelf because heat builds up between them. Give each its own space.
Common questions about TV and media units
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Knockholt station?
Yes, homes across Bromley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Bopeep?
Yes. We cover all of Bromley and the rest of London, and Bopeep is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, followed by a quote.
Where should speakers go in a TV unit?
Speakers work best in open spaces rather than behind doors. A shelf under the TV suits a soundbar. Bring the sizes to the design visit.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. Your quote sets out which you have chosen.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
Can I send pictures before the visit?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit, along with rough sizes. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
Nearby places to Bopeep
TV and media units for homes in Bopeep
About 59% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Bopeep went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 18% between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. The National Heritage List records 11 entries within half a mile of the centre of Bopeep. Being near listed buildings does not make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. The ULEZ, run by TfL, takes in all of London, so Bromley is inside it. It applies to the vans that deliver and fit furniture in Bopeep, as it does anywhere else in London. We go through parking and access at the design visit.
If you live near Hewitt's Chalk Bank, TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear. Lullingstone Castle, about 2.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
Bopeep is in the London Borough of Bromley, about 3 miles north-west of Orpington. Wherever you are in Bopeep, the process is the same: a design visit, a written quote, furniture made at our workshop and fitting in your home. Bopeep is one of the places in Bromley where we make TV and media units.

What prompts TV and media units in Bopeep
A new, larger TV often prompts it. The old stand no longer suits it, or the screen takes over the room. A unit around it puts it in proportion.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- Standard units leaving gaps
- Boxes with no ventilation
- Clutter around the TV
- Speakers muffled behind doors
For an older house near Mission Chapel, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units.
Before you choose who makes it
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- A quote in writing that sets out the job
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standard units come in fixed sizes, and rarely fill an alcove or a wall. Ours are scribed to the walls and can run up to the ceiling. Ready-made furniture rarely suits a bay, a box room or a bulkhead over the stairs, and those are common in interwar houses. Fitted furniture is made around them.
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. A larger piece means more material and more time. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
