What TV and media units can’t fix
We make and fit furniture, and we don’t do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. There are a few other points to bear in mind:
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
- Repairing plaster or redecorating
- Taking out a fireplace or chimney breast

About our TV and media units in Brondesbury
Sockets often need to move for a built-in TV wall, like behind the screen or in the equipment cupboard. That is work for your electrician, and some electrical work in homes falls under Part P of the Building Regulations. Ideally it is done before the unit goes in, and we can tell you where the unit will sit. We make TV and media units from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and people most often get in touch about wasted space around the screen and a big screen that dominates the wall.
Solid brick external walls are standard in Victorian and Edwardian houses, and internal walls may be brick or lath and plaster. With so many homes around Brondesbury built before 1919, the wall type is checked before any fixing for TV and media units is chosen. Lath and plaster needs a lighter touch and the right fixings, particularly behind loaded shelves.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Your questions about TV and media units in Brondesbury
Can you fit TV and media units to the uneven walls of an older house in Brondesbury?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
Do you cover homes near Brondesbury station?
Yes, homes across Brent and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details about the room.
Will my boxes get too hot inside the unit?
Ventilation is designed in wherever equipment sits, using open backs, gaps or vented doors. We give each box its own space, and it’s worth checking the maker’s guidance on clearances.
Will the cables be hidden?
We plan cable routes through the unit from the start, with access panels for later changes. Where cables reach the wall depends on the sockets.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. It depends on your lease, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. We cannot give advice on your lease.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you.
Flats, leases and landlords
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We cannot give advice on leases.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. We choose fixings to suit the wall.

Bespoke TV and media units or ready-made?
Standard units come in fixed sizes, and rarely fill an alcove or a wall. A bespoke unit is scribed to the walls and can run to the ceiling with shelves and cupboards around the screen. Recesses in older houses come in every size except the standard ones, so off-the-shelf pieces either don’t fit or leave a gap either side. Made for the space, the furniture uses the full width and height.
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured.

Tips worth knowing
These points come up often when people plan TV and media units. They help before and after fitting:
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
- Check each box’s guidance on ventilation and clearances
- Note which boxes need line of sight for their remotes
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
Painted finishes feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. At first, lift boxes and speakers into place rather than pushing them.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves, with the weight spread across shelves.
Living-room storage in Brondesbury
Homes built before 1919 make up about 66% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Brondesbury, with about 10% built between 1973 and 1999, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Within a mile of the centre of Brondesbury, 4 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. The share of homes built before 1919 around Brondesbury, about 66%, is well above the figure for Brent as a whole, about 28%, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. So older-house details are more likely to come into the design of TV and media units.

How fitting works for TV and media units
Every fitting follows the same order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. 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. Hallways in period houses are often narrow, and the stairs turn sharply, so TV and media units are made in sections sized to get through. Floors and stair carpets are protected on the way in and out, and the sections are joined and scribed in the room.
- You let us know about the room and what the unit needs to hold.
