TV and media units for your home in Brentham Garden Suburb
TV and media units for homes in Brentham Garden Suburb
Hiding the cables is often the main aim. We plan cable routes through the unit from the start, with holes, channels and access panels so leads can be added or changed later. We make the routes, and your electrician handles any wiring. People normally come to us about boxes with no ventilation and standard units leaving gaps, and the answer is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
A typical 1930s semi has a bay window at the front and a chimney breast with a recess either side. Interwar, semi-detached and detached houses make up a big part of the housing around Brentham Garden Suburb, so it’s a layout worth planning for. We tend to plan TV and media units along the chimney breast wall so the bay keeps its light, though every room is measured first.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It sets out the TV unit designed for your room, what it is made from and how it is finished, and the workshop works from it.

Living-room storage in Brentham Garden Suburb
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 40% of the housing in the streets around Brentham Garden Suburb, with about 21% built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Brentham Garden Suburb include Church of St Peter (Grade II*), under half a mile south-east, and Church of St Barnabas (Grade II), less than half a mile west. For a listed home, changes inside that alter its character may need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. All of London, Ealing included, is inside the ULEZ. It applies to the vans that deliver and fit furniture in Brentham Garden Suburb, as it does anywhere else in London. We go through parking and access at the design visit.
Living in a block of flats near Ealing Broadway station? Then the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Barnabas, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.

Questions from Brentham Garden Suburb
Is parking a problem for fitting in Brentham Garden Suburb?
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 helps to tell us about parking at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Ealing Broadway station?
Yes. We cover all of Ealing and the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Where should speakers go in a TV unit?
Speakers sound better in the open than shut in a cupboard. A soundbar can sit on a shelf below the screen, and larger speakers suit open shelves at the sides. Bring the sizes to the design visit.
Should I send pictures?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, particularly with rough sizes. You can send them when you tell us about the room on our contact form.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need it. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
How do I get a quote?
It is easiest to use our contact form. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
How fitting works for TV and media units
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and your quote sets out the fitting days. It is useful to clear the room and the route before we arrive. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- You contact us with a short note about the room and the unit you have in mind.
- We visit to measure the wall and discuss the design.
- You receive a quote in writing setting out the unit, materials and finish, ready for you to check.
- Each section is built in our workshop to the measurements we took, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The unit is fitted in your home, levelled and scribed to the walls.
Before we arrive
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Let us know about parking near your home

The problems TV and media units solve
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.
TV and media units can help with:
- Games, controllers and remotes everywhere
- A screen at the wrong height
- Standard units leaving gaps
- Cables trailing across the wall
Pitzhanger Manor, about 1.1 miles south, 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.
What to check before you book
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- How parking will work on your street
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there is usually a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Flats, conversions and lettings
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that is best sorted before fitting day. We can’t advise on your lease.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
