How we make TV and media units for Camberwell
We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. You choose a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, in a colour agreed with you. We fit across Southwark and the rest of London. Typical reasons to get in touch are a TV stand that doesn’t fit the wall and equipment with nowhere proper to go; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a mansion block flat, ceilings are often tall and the walls are rarely straight, whereas newer blocks are more likely to have plasterboard partitions. Most households around Camberwell live in purpose-built flats, old or new, so the wall type is the first thing we check for TV and media units. Whatever the wall, tall pieces are fixed back securely.
Everything we agree at the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it’s easier before the furniture is made.

Is bespoke worth it?
An off-the-shelf TV stand is cheaper and quick to buy. It’s also easy to replace a stand when your equipment changes, which is a fair point in its favour. Bespoke units are made for one wall and the things you use. In a flat, every bit of floor counts, and standalone furniture uses more of it than it needs. Built-in pieces use the full height and the awkward corners.
There is no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote, naming the materials and finish. To start, use our contact form.

TV and media units for homes in Camberwell
Homes built before 1919 make up about 29% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Camberwell, with about 26% built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Camberwell include Church of St Giles (Grade II*), under half a mile south-east, and Camberwell Public Baths (Grade II), less than half a mile west. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling can need listed building consent. It is worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. About 26% of homes in the neighbourhood around Camberwell were built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). In homes built since 2000, living rooms are often open-plan with stud walls, so the fixings go into the studs, or heavier pieces stand on the floor.
For a flat near Denmark Hill station, TV and media units are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. For families living near Mary Datchelor School, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place. If you live near Brunswick Park, shelving that stops short of the window keeps the view of the green.
Camberwell is within the London Borough of Southwark, about 1 mile south of East Dulwich. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Camberwell included. We list Camberwell among 21 places we cover in Southwark.
We work across SE5, SE15, SE22 and SE24. You will find streets here such as New Church Road, Camberwell Station Road and Addington Square, and we cover homes on all of them for TV and media units. The A202 and B214 run close to Camberwell, so if your home is on a main road, mention it when you contact us. Close by, we also work in Denmark Hill (1 mile south), East Dulwich (1 mile south), Walworth (1 mile north), Peckham (1 mile east) and Herne Hill (1 mile south). We also make TV and media units in nearby places like Bermondsey (2 miles north), Elephant and Castle (2 miles north), Bankside (2 miles north), Southwark (2 miles north), St George's Fields (2 miles north-west) and Rotherhithe (3 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Camberwell
Our area takes in the homes around Sacred Heart Catholic School, Hermits Cave pub and Brunswick Park Primary School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Camberwell itself: Denmark Hill station. Other landmarks nearby include St Giles' Hospital (under half a mile east) and Peckham Platform (0.8 miles east). For a walk, there’s Bellenden Road Nature Garden.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
If you’re handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.
From workshop to your room
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. At the end, we tidy up and go 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 we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Some buildings have a concierge, a lift booking system or set working hours, so check them with the managing agent before fitting day. Communal areas and floors are protected on the way in.
- You contact us with a short note about the room and the unit you have in mind, including the size of the screen.
- We come to measure, note the sockets and agree the layout.
- Your quote follows, with the design, materials and finish set out.
- The unit is made at our workshop, with openings for cables and air.
- We fit it in your home, with the cable routes ready to use. We check the doors and shelves with you before we leave.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway

Materials and finishes
Shelves
Wide shelves need enough thickness or support so they stay straight.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, so it’s good for shelves that carry equipment and speakers.
Your questions about TV and media units in Camberwell
Is Camberwell in the area you cover for TV and media units?
Yes. We cover all of Southwark and the rest of London, and Camberwell is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, and then we send a quote.
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character may need listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Each room is quoted on its own: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. The written quote follows the design visit.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
That’s normal in older homes, and it is what scribing is for. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
Can you build a TV unit for a wall-mounted TV?
We can plan for either a wall-mounted TV or one standing on the unit. If the TV is wall-mounted, panels and shelves are arranged around the bracket and cables, and if it stands on the unit we size the top for it.
Where other trades come in
It’s worth being clear about where our work stops:
- Configuring the TV and sound system
- Connecting the TV signal or internet
- Taking out a fireplace or chimney breast
