How we make TV and media units for Denmark Hill
A built-in TV unit gives the screen, the boxes, the speakers and the cables one planned home. Instead of a stand, a tangle of wires and a few odd shelves, the whole wall is designed at once. For a living room in Denmark Hill, the first step is a design visit to measure up and look at your equipment. If you are living with cables trailing across the wall and set-top boxes stacked on a stand, TV and media units made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
Most households around Denmark Hill live in purpose-built flats, from mansion blocks to modern developments. A mansion block flat often keeps its chimney breast, alcoves and high ceilings, whereas a modern flat tends to have plasterboard walls and an open-plan layout. Either way, TV and media units are made for the room as it is.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, as it makes good use of an tricky room. It is made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, finished by spray or by hand.
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 without a struggle.
What it’s made from
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting lets you see the colour in the room’s own light. Joins and scribed edges are painted at the same time.
Birch plywood
We often use birch plywood for carcasses and drawers. The edge can be painted or left as a detail.

Tips worth knowing
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. Here are some things worth bearing in mind:
- Think about which things need to be seen by a remote
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
- Decide where you’ll sit, so the screen height suits it
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
When you change equipment, use the cable routes we planned instead of making new ones. It keeps the unit tidy.
Leave any new socket or wiring work to your electrician, and don’t overload sockets.
How fitting works for TV and media units
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and that happens on fitting day. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Some buildings have a concierge, a lift booking system or set working hours, so check them with the managing agent before fitting day. Communal areas and floors are protected on the way in.
- You let us know about the room and what the unit needs to hold.
- 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, with the cable routes left clear.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Ask for a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you don’t, that is fine, and we can work it out together. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.

FAQs: TV and media units in Denmark Hill
Is parking a problem for fitting in Denmark Hill?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Will a conservation area stop me having TV and media units fitted in Denmark Hill?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Can you plan for a future TV?
We can size the opening for the screen you might buy next. Tell us the size you have in mind so the space and cable routes suit it.
Is the furniture made to order?
We make it in our workshop, to the sizes taken at the design visit. After that, we fit it in your home.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You do. The paint colour is agreed with you, and it is set out in the quote.
Why bespoke in Denmark Hill?
Standard units come in fixed sizes, so gaps are common. Ours are scribed to the walls and can run up to the ceiling with shelves and cupboards around the screen. In a flat, walls are often broken up by radiators, doors and sockets, so off-the-shelf widths rarely fill the gaps. Built-in pieces are sized for each stretch of wall.
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.

For a period home anywhere nearby, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
