Tips worth knowing
None of this takes much effort. Here’s what we suggest:
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
- Tell us about parking and access at the design visit
- Think about whether you want the screen on a bracket or on a shelf
- Think about which things need to be seen by a remote
After setting up, check that the boxes aren’t getting too warm. Don’t block the gaps and openings left for air with cables or clutter.
Avoid piling devices on one shelf because heat builds up between them. Each one needs space around it.
TV and media units in Crouch End
TV units are made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood in our workshop. You choose a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, in a colour agreed with you. We work across London, including Crouch End. People typically come to us about leads that show from every angle and speakers muffled behind doors; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a house from the Victorian or Edwardian years, the chimney breast tends to survive even when the fireplace itself has been blocked up. Around Crouch End, where a large share of homes date from before 1919, that’s a common starting point. The recesses either side take TV and media units scribed to the plaster and cut around the skirting.

Flats, leases and landlords
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through.
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 and leaving the room tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. On fitting day in an older house, the main job is scribing to walls and levelling on floors that slope, so there’s some trimming and adjusting on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. It helps to tell us about parking at the measuring visit, as terraced streets are often busy.
- 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.
- You get a quote in writing covering the design, the materials and the finish.
- 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. Go gently with new paintwork while it cures.
Before fitting day
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Ask for a quote
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. A quote in writing follows the visit for you to look over. To arrange the visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

TV and media units for homes in Crouch End
Homes built before 1919 make up about 56% of the housing in the streets around Crouch End, with about 15% built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. The National Heritage List records 12 entries within half a mile of the centre of Crouch End. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. About 56% of homes in the neighbourhood around Crouch End were built before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. In houses of that age, the chimney breast often becomes the TV wall, with cupboards in the alcoves for set-top boxes and speakers, with cable routes and ventilation planned in.
For a family home near Rokesly Infant & Nursery School, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design. If you live in a period home close to Christ Church, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.

Do you need TV and media units in Crouch End?
A new, larger TV often prompts it. The old stand looks too small, or the screen dominates the wall. A unit around it puts it in proportion.
Here’s what TV and media units can help with:
- Boxes with no ventilation
- Clutter around the TV
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
- Leads that show from every angle
Living in a block of flats near Crouch Hill station? Then check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.

What affects the price in Crouch End
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- The internal fittings
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking and unloading on your street
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside.

FAQs: TV and media units in Crouch End
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Normally 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.
I live near Crouch Hill station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Haringey and the rest of London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
We plan the route in during the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
Can you add sockets behind the TV?
We do not do electrical work. Your electrician handles sockets and wiring. We tell you where the unit will sit so the sockets end up in the right place.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You do not need to watch us work, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, especially with rough measurements. You can send them when you use our contact form.
