How we make TV and media units for Bushey Mead
Hiding the cables is often the main aim. We plan cable routes through the unit from the start, with openings and removable panels so you can add or swap leads later. We make the routes, and your electrician handles any wiring. If you’re living with games, controllers and remotes everywhere and standard units leaving gaps, that is what TV and media units are for, made 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. Around Bushey Mead, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing, 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.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Fitting day, step by step
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. The time 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. In a 1930s house with a converted loft, the stairs to the loft room are often steeper than the main flight, so pieces for a loft room are sized for the narrowest point. Elsewhere in the house, the route is typically more generous. Each section is assembled and fixed in the room.
- You tell us about the room and what the unit needs to hold.
- A design visit follows, where we measure and agree the layout, with ventilation for boxes and amplifiers.
- A quote in writing follows. If anything in it is unclear, ask us.
- Once you are happy, the unit is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable routes planned in.
- The unit is fitted in your home, ready for your equipment, with the cable routes left clear.
Preparing the room
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance

Advice
When is bespoke worth it?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
It’s worth being honest about cost: off-the-shelf furniture typically costs less up front. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is awkward, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Materials and finishes
Moisture-resistant MDF
Wide panels around a screen need to stay flat. MDF gives a smooth surface for a painted finish.
Doors and drawer fronts
Cupboard doors keep equipment out of sight and are planned with ventilation where needed.

Your questions about TV and media units in Bushey Mead
Do you cover homes near Raynes Park station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Bushey Mead?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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, so we can plan the day around it.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and furniture inside a house does not normally need it. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
The furniture is built in sections, sized for the route not just the room. At the design visit, we measure the route along with the room itself.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. We will also ask about access and parking, and afterwards we send a quote in writing.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
Is bespoke worth it?
Not every bought cabinet allows enough air for warm equipment. Ventilation is designed in where equipment sits, with open backs, gaps or vented doors. Ready-made units come in standard depths that rarely suit every space, which may be too deep for one spot and too shallow for another. Fitted furniture is made to the depth the space can take.
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
