TV and media units in Crews Hill: what you get
A built-in TV unit gives the screen, the boxes, the speakers and the cables one planned home. The wall is planned as a whole, rather than a stand with wires trailing behind it. For a living room in Crews Hill, the first step is a design visit to measure up and look at your equipment. People usually come to us about a big screen that dominates the wall and equipment running hot in a closed cupboard; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Post-war blocks of flats often have concrete floors, ceilings and some concrete walls, and they need the right drill and fixings. Because many homes around Crews Hill were built in the post-war years, we check the walls at the design visit before TV and media units are designed. Where a wall is a lightweight partition, heavy pieces stand on the floor and are fixed back for stability.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

TV and media units in Crews Hill: local notes
About 36% of the homes in the streets around Crews Hill went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 34% before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Crews Hill include Glasgow Stud Farmhouse (Grade II), less than half a mile north, and Church of St John the Baptist (Grade II), about 0.6 miles south. If your own home is listed, internal works that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, can require listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Parking controls in London are set borough by borough, so Enfield has its own. If your road in Crews Hill 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. Tell us what the parking is like at the design visit.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Forty Hall, about 1.5 miles south-east. If your own home is a period one, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. If you live in a period home close to Church of St John the Baptist, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. Living in a block of flats near Crews Hill station? Then the route in is measured along with the room itself, and the sections are sized to fit it.

How fitting day works
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. Most of the decisions were made at the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Stairwells in post-war blocks can have tight turns, so sections are sized for both the stairs and any lift. Letting the caretaker or managing agent know ahead of time helps. We cover the floors in shared areas on the way in.
- To begin, drop us a line using the contact form; a brief note on the TV wall and everything that plugs into it is plenty.
- At the design visit we measure the wall and plan cable routes and ventilation, as set-top boxes, consoles and amplifiers need air. If you need new sockets, your electrician should do that before fitting.
- A written quote follows for the unit.
- The unit is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable openings and vents cut in.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day

FAQs: TV and media units in Crews Hill
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Crews Hill station?
Yes. We cover all of Enfield and the rest of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Crews Hill?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to let us know about parking during the design visit.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. We cannot give advice on your lease, so check it or ask your managing agent.
What if I buy a larger TV?
The space can be sized for a larger TV so the unit suits your next set. Mention the largest screen you might buy when we visit.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture, which helps avoid condensation and mould. If there’s damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
How do I get a quote?
Simply fill in our short enquiry form. Rough measurements and a few photos help, and we’ll arrange a design visit, followed by a quote in writing.
Why bespoke in Crews Hill?
Standard units come in fixed sizes, and rarely fill an alcove or a wall. Ours are scribed to the walls and can run up to the ceiling. In a flat with stairs or a small lift, large flat-pack units can be hard to get in, whereas fitted furniture is made in sections sized for the way in. It’s then assembled in the room.
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. A larger piece means more material and more time. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Why choose us
- Made in our workshop, then fitted in your home
- A design visit, then a written quote
- Every London borough and the City of London covered
- Scribed to uneven walls

What affects the price in Crews Hill
Prices vary from room to room, for these reasons:
- Parking near your home
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
Parking is part of the price picture in London. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. It helps to talk about parking at the measuring visit, so it can be planned.
Before the design visit
You do not need exact measurements or a plan. It’s enough to send:
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Where you live, with the postcode
Getting a quote starts with some details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of photos if you can take them. To send them, drop us a line using the contact form. We’ll then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
