TV and media units in Brompton
Speakers need space to be heard properly. A soundbar usually sits just below the TV. Closing speakers in a cupboard muffles them. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about a cabinet that traps heat and boxes and consoles on the floor.
Around Brompton, a large share of homes date from before 1919, and in London most homes of that age are Victorian or Edwardian. Main rooms in houses like these normally have a chimney breast with an alcove on each side, and those alcoves are the natural home for TV and media units. Walls are rarely flat, so each piece is scribed to the plaster and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Tell us about them at the design visit.
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
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 with shelves and cupboards around the screen. Standard furniture is drawn for modern rooms, so its proportions can look odd in a tall period room, while fitted furniture can follow the room’s own lines, with panels and details to suit the house.
Access to the room makes a difference too. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, and that is part of the price. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design.
Why choose us
- Made in moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Scribed to uneven walls
- More than 300 projects completed
- Made in our workshop, then fitted in your home

What happens on fitting day
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. Most of the decisions were made at the design visit and set out in your quote, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully. How long the 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. If your hall still has its original tiles or boards, they’re covered before any carrying starts. Fixings into older walls are made carefully, as lath and plaster can crack if treated roughly. Decorating around the furniture afterwards is for your decorator.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment, and where the sockets are now.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you.
- You receive a quote setting out the layout and the paint finish, for you to look over.
- We build the unit in our workshop, with routes and ventilation planned in.
- We fit it in your home, scribed to the walls and ready for your equipment.
Before fitting day
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know

In the streets around Brompton, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 69%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 14%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The National Heritage List has 438 entries within half a mile of the centre of Brompton. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and TV and media units can be designed to work around them. More than half of the homes in the neighbourhood around Brompton (about 69%) were built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. In houses of that age, the chimney breast often becomes the TV wall, with cupboards in the alcoves for set-top boxes and speakers, with cable routes and ventilation planned in.
If you live in a flat close to London Victoria station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. For a family home near Hellenic College of London, TV and media units can be planned with low cupboards for toys and higher shelves for everything else. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Church of Holy Trinity, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent.

Common questions about TV and media units
I live near London Victoria station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Kensington and Chelsea and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
My house in Brompton is Victorian. Can you deal with uneven walls?
Yes, that’s normal in older houses: each piece is scribed to the wall and levelled at the base. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
The fitting depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The unit is made at our workshop first.
Who moves the sockets for a built-in TV wall?
Electrical work isn’t something we do. Sockets and wiring are for your electrician. We share the layout so the sockets line up with the design.
Is there room for a soundbar?
Speakers sound better in the open than shut in a cupboard. A shelf under the TV suits a soundbar. Tell us the speaker sizes when we visit.
Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is stiff and grips screws firmly, which suits shelves for heavy speakers and amplifiers.
Hand-painted finish
With hand painting, you judge the colour in your own room. Scribed edges are painted along with the rest.
What we don’t do
Not everything around TV and media units is carpentry, from an electrician to a plumber or a Gas Safe engineer. Here is what to bear in mind:
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
- Structural changes to the wall
- Installing aerials, satellite dishes or broadband
