TV and media units designed for your room
Common questions about TV and media units
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Cyprus?
Yes, Cyprus is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Newham and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
How do you fit TV and media units in a flat in Cyprus?
We measure the route in along with the room itself: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It is useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. You can send them when you fill in our short enquiry form.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It is something we deal with all the time. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you, and it is set out in the quote.
TV and media units in Cyprus: 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. If you are planning a TV unit in Cyprus, we start with a design visit to measure and talk through what you use. Most enquiries start with space for a soundbar and speakers and a TV that looks out of place in the room, and the answer is made in our workshop from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
A large number of homes around Cyprus date from 2000 onwards, and in London many homes of that age are flats in newer blocks. In a compact new-build room, a shallower run of TV and media units can add storage without crowding the space. Boxed-in pipes and service risers are common, and they can be built around rather than hidden badly.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we’ve agreed. It describes the TV unit we have designed for the room, its materials and its finish, and the workshop works from it.

Flats, leases and landlords
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so let us know about it at the design visit.
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, after measuring the route during the design visit.
From workshop to your room
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Fitting day starts by covering floors and setting out the sections. The pieces are levelled and fixed with fixings that suit the wall. Any hand painting can be finished on site.
- You describe the TV wall and your equipment, from set-top boxes to speakers.
- 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 quote in writing.
- Once you are happy, the unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We bring it to your home and fit it in place.
How to prepare
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Arranging a design visit
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, tell us about the room on our contact form.

Boards, parts and paint
Moisture-resistant MDF
There’s no grain to show through the paint for a smooth finish. We use the moisture-resistant grade.
Shelves
Long shelves need the right thickness or a support to carry heavy equipment.
When you need someone else
It’s useful to know what’s outside our work before you plan:
- Setting up and tuning the TV, boxes and speakers
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
- Structural changes to the wall
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can get in touch through our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.
What it is made from
- Hand-painted finish
- Cable routes
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Spray-painted finish
- Ventilated cabinets
- Birch plywood
Is it time for TV and media units?
In an open-plan space, the TV wall is on show from everywhere. A built-in unit gives that wall order and holds books and everyday things as well.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- Bought furniture that does not suit the room
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
- Empty alcoves beside the TV
- Clutter around the TV
The wider area includes historic houses like Eastbury Manor House, about 2.3 miles north-east. If your own home is a period one, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.

TV and media units in Cyprus: local notes
Homes built between 1973 and 1999 make up about 44% of the housing in the area around Cyprus, with about 42% built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Cyprus include Gallions Hotel (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south-east, and Central Buffet at Custom House (Grade II), less than half a mile west. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. About 42% of homes in the area around Cyprus were built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Newer homes normally have plasterboard stud walls and open-plan rooms, often with no chimney breast, so TV and media units are fixed into the studs or stand on the floor.
Living in a block of flats near Woolwich station? Then it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. For a family home near Winsor Primary School, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.
