TV and media units designed for your room
Is bespoke worth it?
Bought units come in the maker’s finishes. Ours are painted in a colour agreed with you, by spray or by hand. Chimney breasts in older houses stand out by different amounts, so the recesses either side are rarely the same, and standard units bought as a pair rarely suit both. Each side can be made to its own size.
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.

About our TV and media units in Clapham Park
TV units are made 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 Lambeth and the rest of London. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about wasted space around the screen and boxes and consoles on the floor.
Solid brick external walls are standard in Victorian and Edwardian houses, while the walls inside can be brick or lath and plaster. Since a large share of the homes around Clapham Park date from before 1919, the wall type is checked before any fixing for TV and media units is chosen. Lath and plaster in particular needs fixings chosen for it.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

TV and media units for homes in Clapham Park
Homes built before 1919 make up about 47% of the housing in the area around Clapham Park, with about 21% built between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. 17 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of the centre of Clapham Park. 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. TfL’s Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every part of London, Lambeth included. It applies to every van that comes to fit furniture in Clapham Park. We plan parking and access with you at the measuring visit.
For a flat near Clapham High Street station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. For an older house near Church of the Holy Spirit, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units.
Clapham Park is about 1 mile north-east of Stockwell, within the London Borough of Lambeth. From period terraces to newer flats in Clapham Park, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. Our work takes in places right across Lambeth.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf.
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Let us know about them at the design visit, and we’ll plan the fitting around them.
FAQs: TV and media units in Clapham Park
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Clapham Park?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. 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 let us know about parking during the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
I live in a flat in Clapham Park. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
We measure the route in not just the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. TV and media units are made at our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
How do you stop equipment overheating in a TV unit?
Equipment gives off heat, so it needs air around it. The unit is planned with open backs or gaps where boxes go, rather than sealing it in a cupboard. Keep the vents clear once it is in use.
How long will the fitting take?
It depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. The making happens in our workshop, so the time in your home is mostly fitting and finishing.
How do I get a quote for TV and media units in Clapham Park?
It’s easiest to tell us about the room on our contact form. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
Do photos help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. It is useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
Do you need TV and media units in Clapham Park?
Equipment on the floor is another reason. A unit gives every box its own space, with air to keep it cool, and keeps the floor clear.
We’re often asked to help with:
- Wasted space around the screen
- A big screen that dominates the wall
- Nowhere good for speakers
- A cabinet that traps heat
If your children go to Glenbrook Primary School or a school nearby, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place.

What happens on fitting day
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and it helps to have the room cleared beforehand. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Older London houses often have narrow hallways and tight turns on the stairs, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route in. Floors and stair carpets are protected on the way in and out.
- You describe the TV wall and your equipment.
- A design visit follows, where we measure and agree the layout, with ventilation for boxes and amplifiers.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a written quote.
- We then make the unit in our workshop.
- The unit is fitted in your home, ready for your equipment.
Before fitting day
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
Starting with a design visit
It is useful to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, especially with rough sizes. To send them over, send us a few details through our contact form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
