TV and media units in Bromley Common, Bromley
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. Our work on TV and media units in Bromley Common starts with a design visit, and everything is made at our workshop.
- Games, controllers and remotes everywhere
- A cabinet that traps heat
- Nowhere good for speakers
TV and media units designed for your room
How fitting day works
You are welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. London parking ranges from controlled zones to driveways and private bays, so let us know what’s near you at the design visit. If you live in a flat, any lift or building rules are worth checking too.
- You get in touch and let us know about the room and your equipment, including the size of the screen.
- We come to measure, note the sockets and agree the layout.
- We send a quote in writing for the unit.
- Each section is built in our workshop to the measurements we took.
- We fit it in your home, with the cable routes ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
How to get a quote
To make a start, drop us a line using the contact form and tell us a little about the room and what you want the furniture to do. We then arrange a design visit to measure and talk through the design, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
Advice
TV and media units for homes in Bromley Common
A built-in TV unit gives the screen, the boxes, the speakers and the cables one planned home. Instead of a stand, a tangle of wires and a few odd shelves, the whole wall is designed at once. For a living room in Bromley Common, the first step is a design visit to measure up and look at your equipment. People usually come to us about empty alcoves beside the TV and somewhere to keep games tidy; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Windows, doors, radiators and sockets decide where furniture can and cannot go. Whatever kind of home you have in Bromley Common, TV and media units are planned around those first. After that, the mix of cupboards, shelves and open space follows how you live.
You get the quote in writing, so you can read it at your own pace and share it with anyone else involved. It covers the design, materials and finish agreed at the visit.

Other services in Bromley Common
Is it time for TV and media units?
Games, controllers and remotes need a home. Drawers and cupboards hold them out of sight, and open shelves hold what’s used every day.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- Boxes with no ventilation
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
- Speakers muffled behind doors
- A tangle of wires behind the TV
For an older house near Holy Trinity Church, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.
What to check before you book
- Will the quote be in writing?
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Real projects you can actually look at
What affects the price in Bromley Common
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. This is what makes the difference:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
How it is painted is part of the price: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Before the design visit
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To arrange a visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
Common questions about TV and media units
Do you cover homes near Bickley station?
Yes, homes across Bromley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Bromley Common?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. Tell us when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
Who moves the sockets for a built-in TV wall?
Electrical work is not something we do. Sockets and wiring are for your electrician, and Part P of the Building Regulations covers some electrical work in homes. We share the layout so the sockets line up with the design.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. It depends on your lease, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. Your lease is something we can’t advise on, so check it or ask your managing agent.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
It’s a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, then send a written quote.
Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
Many remote controls need a clear view of the box.
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting lets you see the colour in the room’s own light. Scribed edges are painted along with the rest.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Not every bought cabinet allows enough air for warm equipment. Ventilation is designed in where equipment sits. Recesses, sloping ceilings and awkward corners are where ready-made furniture struggles most, and most homes have at least one. Fitted furniture is designed around them.
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. Let us know about parking during the design visit, so it can be planned.
Why choose us

Bromley Common homes and TV and media units
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 28% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Bromley Common, with about 23% built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (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. The Bromley, Hayes and Keston Commons Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Bromley Common. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. A quarter or more of the homes in the neighbourhood around Bromley Common (about 28%) date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Houses from the 1920s and 1930s often have a bay window and a chimney breast in the front room, and TV and media units are planned around both.
If your children go to Trinity Church of England Primary School or a school nearby, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place. Bromley Palace, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units.
Bromley Common is about 3 miles east of Orpington, in the London Borough of Bromley. We work across all London boroughs and the City of London, and Bromley Common is part of that. Our Bromley coverage includes Bromley Common.
