About our TV and media units in Chingford Hatch
Hiding the cables is often the main aim. Cable routes are built into the design from the start, with openings and removable panels so you can add or swap leads later. The routes are ours, while any wiring is for your electrician. If your home has alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste and boxes and consoles on the floor, TV and media units made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
A good part of the housing around Chingford Hatch is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the front room may have a bay window at one end and a chimney breast on the side wall, and that layout shapes where TV and media units work best. Walls in houses of that age are normally straighter than in Victorian ones, though they’re still checked and scribed where needed.
Where other trades are needed, for instance an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of, after checking the walls during the design visit.
Fitting day, step by step
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors are covered from the door to the room, and the sections are assembled in place.
- It starts with a short note from you about the TV wall.
- We visit to plan the unit and check the way in.
- We send a written quote.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections that fit the route in.
- We bring the sections in, join them on the wall and scribe them to fit.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall

FAQs: TV and media units in Chingford Hatch
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Chingford Hatch?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It is useful to tell us about parking during the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Chingford Hatch?
Yes. Chingford Hatch is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Waltham Forest and London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
Do TV units need ventilation?
We plan ventilation into the unit for boxes, consoles and amplifiers. We give each box its own space.
Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. To send them, send us a few details through our contact form.
Who moves the sockets for a built-in TV wall?
Electrical work isn’t something we do. Your electrician handles sockets and wiring. We tell you where the unit will sit so the sockets end up in the right place.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Living-room storage in Chingford Hatch
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Chingford Hatch were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 49%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 20%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Within a mile of the centre of Chingford Hatch, 3 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. Historic England says England has around 10,000, and the controls mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Many London boroughs run controlled parking zones, and Waltham Forest sets its own rules. If your road in Chingford Hatch falls in a zone, the van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Parking near your home is worth mentioning during the design visit.
If your home is one of the older houses near All Saints Church of England Highams Park, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Friday Hill House, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent. If you live near The Highams Park, TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear.

Pricing TV and media units in Chingford Hatch
To work out the quote, we look at:
- The width and height of the space
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, written once we’ve measured up.
Before the design visit
These details help when you get in touch:
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- How you want to use the space
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, particularly with rough measurements. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
Where other trades come in
We design, make and fit the furniture. That means:
- Structural changes to the wall
- Painting the walls and ceiling
- Any electrical work (your electrician handles that, and Part P covers some of it)
