About our TV and media units in Cambridge Heath
Speakers need their own thought. A soundbar normally sits just below the TV, while larger speakers suit open shelves at the sides. Closing speakers in a cupboard muffles them. If your home has a big screen that dominates the wall and set-top boxes stacked on a stand, that’s what TV and media units are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
In many houses from the 1950s and 1960s, the living room has a wide window and a plain chimney breast or none at all. Around Cambridge Heath, many homes come from between 1945 and the early 1970s, and TV and media units can give a room like that a focus. Low cupboards with shelves over them can sit beside or below the window, leaving any radiator clear.
The quote comes in writing, so there’s time to read it properly and talk it over at home. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Bought media units are made in set widths, and rarely fill an alcove or a wall. Ours are scribed to the walls and can run up to the ceiling with shelves and cupboards around the screen. A room without alcoves gives ready-made furniture nothing to sit into, so it stands out from the wall, while a fitted run can create its own recesses and frame a window or door.
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It’s useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit.

Fitting day, step by step
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. Most of the decisions were made at the measuring visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving the room tidy. How long 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. Post-war blocks often have shared stairwells and lifts, so the furniture comes in sections that fit them. Let us know about any building rules on lifts or working hours at the measuring visit.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment, and where the sockets are now.
- We visit to measure, note the sockets and agree where everything will go.
- We send a written quote with the design, materials and finish, for you to look over.
- The unit is made at our workshop, with cable routes and vents built in, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the unit goes in, is levelled and scribed, and the cable routes are left clear.
Preparing the room
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
Getting a quote
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, message us from the contact page.

What else we make in Cambridge Heath
FAQs: TV and media units in Cambridge Heath
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Cambridge Heath?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. It’s useful to tell us about parking during the design visit.
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 doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Do you work in Cambridge Heath?
Yes. We work in Cambridge Heath and across Tower Hamlets.
Where should speakers go in a TV unit?
Speakers sound better in the open than shut in a cupboard. A soundbar can sit on a shelf below the screen. Bring the sizes to the design visit.
Do you work outside London?
No. We cover London only: every London borough and the City of London.
Can you add sockets behind the TV?
That is a job for your electrician. It’s best done before the unit goes in, and we plan cut-outs and cable routes around the sockets.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf.
What it’s made from
Shelves
Open shelves suit speakers and things you want on show, while cupboards hide the rest.
Doors and drawer fronts
Drawers suit games, controllers and remotes close to hand. Fronts are painted to match the unit.
What affects the price in Cambridge Heath
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- The internal fittings
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How many doors and drawers there are
We don’t publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, go through the design and then quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Before the design visit
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Your postcode and the borough
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Examples of the look you are after
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, then send a written quote. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.
Cambridge Heath homes and TV and media units
In the area around Cambridge Heath, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 32%) and before 1919 (about 23%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. 24 conservation areas have at least part of their area less than a mile from the middle of Cambridge Heath. 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. Around a third of the homes in the streets around Cambridge Heath (about 32%) were built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Rooms from that era are often squarer, with fewer alcoves and sometimes no chimney breast, so TV and media units often run along a full wall, fixed to suit the wall, which may be concrete or block.
Close to Haggerston Park? A room that looks out on trees deserves a design that leaves the window alone. If you live in a flat close to Cambridge Heath station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. Sutton House, about 1 mile north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
