TV and media units in Crossness
If the TV is wall-mounted, we plan the panels and shelves around the bracket position. If it stands on the unit, we size the top to suit. Typical reasons to get in touch are games, controllers and remotes everywhere and boxes and consoles on the floor, and the answer is built in our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Wherever your home in Crossness sits in London’s mix of housing, TV and media units start with the room you actually have. Older rooms bring uneven walls and picture rails, while newer ones bring plasterboard walls and boxed-in pipes. We measure for whichever you have, and the pieces are made to suit.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something is not quite right, tell us before anything is made.

What it costs
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- The internal fittings
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- How big the furniture is
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
What to send when you get in touch
There is no need for exact sizes or plans. It’s enough to send:
- Your postcode and the borough
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Examples of the look you’re after
- Approximate measurements of the space
It helps to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
Flats, leases and landlords
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
How fitting works for TV and media units
You’re welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Before fitting day, we check the route in along with the room itself, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- We visit to measure and talk through the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- A quote in writing follows, with the finish set out.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray-painted finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, and any hand painting is done in the room.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
Starting with a design visit
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, when we have measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.
Advice
TV and media units in Crossness: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Crossness were built between 1973 and 1999 (about 63%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 20%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your home in Crossness is on or near a main road, tell us at the measuring visit. We will plan where the van can stop. About 39% of households around Crossness live in purpose-built flats, well above the figure for Bexley as a whole, about 21%, according to Census 2021. That puts the stairs, lifts and doors on the route in at the centre of the plan.
If you live near Lesnes Abbey Woods, shelving that stops short of the window keeps the view of the green. If you live in a period home close to Church of the Cross, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place. If you live in a flat close to Abbey Wood station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.

Around Crossness
Around Crossness, we cover homes near Belvedere Working Mens Club pub and Harris Garrard Academy. The nearest railway station is Abbey Wood station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Greenwich Borough Museum (1.7 miles south-west). Not far away are Crossness Nature Reserve.
Before and after fitting day
Looking after painted furniture is simple with a little care. These habits help most:
- Check each box’s guidance on ventilation and clearances
- Note which boxes need line of sight for their remotes
- Decide where you will sit, so the screen height suits it
- Let us know about access early
When you change equipment, use the cable routes we planned. It keeps everything neat.
Ask your electrician about new sockets rather than running extension leads through the unit, and do not daisy-chain adaptors.
Common questions about TV and media units
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Abbey Wood station?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is Crossness in the area you cover for TV and media units?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London, and Crossness is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Do TV units need ventilation?
We plan ventilation into the unit for boxes, consoles and amplifiers, with open backs, gaps or openings. Each box should have its own space, and it’s worth checking the maker’s guidance on clearances.
Can a TV unit hold speakers?
We plan open spaces for speakers and soundbars. Closed doors muffle sound.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. Damp treatment isn’t something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
