From workshop to your room
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; hand painting, if that’s what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. Loading near a block of flats can take some planning, so details of bays, permits or a loading area help. The sections are assembled in the flat and fixed to suit the walls. Saturdays can be arranged.
- It starts with a short note from you about the TV wall.
- We visit to plan the unit and check the way in.
- We send a written quote.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections that fit the route in.
- We bring the sections in, join them on the wall and scribe them to fit. The finish is sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Preparing the room
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician beforehand
How to get a quote
We quote once we’ve seen the room. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, and the written quote comes after. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. To book a design visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
Advice
TV and media units in Deptford: what you get
Where the TV will be wall-mounted, the unit is designed around where the bracket goes, with a route for the cables behind the screen. If the TV stands on the unit instead, the top is sized and positioned for it. If you are living with a big screen that dominates the wall and speakers muffled behind doors, TV and media units made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish can solve it.
In a block of flats, the stairs, lift and doors decide how big each section can be. Since most households around Deptford live in purpose-built flats, TV and media units are designed in sections from the start, with the route in measured not just the room. The joins are placed where they won’t show once the furniture is fitted.
A written quote follows the design visit. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish.

Built-in living-room furniture in Deptford
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Deptford were built since 2000 (about 34%) and before 1919 (about 22%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. The National Heritage List has 56 entries within half a mile of the centre of Deptford. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your street in Deptford joins a main road, it is worth telling us at the measuring visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload.

Practical tips
Looking after painted furniture is simple. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Plan any new sockets with your electrician before fitting
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- Think about whether you’ll upgrade the screen
Clean the paintwork with a soft cloth that is barely damp. Avoid abrasive pads and strong sprays, which can mark the finish.
Heavy equipment is best kept low.
Questions from Deptford
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Deptford station?
Yes, homes across Lewisham and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Will a conservation area stop me having TV and media units fitted in Deptford?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
The time on site depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We’ll talk you through what to expect beforehand.
Can you plan for a future TV?
We can size the opening for the screen you might buy next. It’s useful to know the size you are thinking of so the space and cable routes suit it.
Where should speakers go in a TV unit?
We plan open spaces for speakers and soundbars. Closed doors muffle sound, so we leave them open.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Every job is priced for its room: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. The written quote follows the design visit.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it is worth raising at the design visit.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways not just the room, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
Do you need TV and media units in Deptford?
Boxes, consoles and routers on the floor are a familiar sight. A unit gives every box its own space, with air to keep it cool.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- Bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room
- Cables trailing across the wall
- Nowhere good for speakers
- Wasted space around the screen
Near listed buildings like Church of St Paul, under half a mile north-east of the centre of Deptford, older homes may keep original joinery that TV and media units can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
What to check before you book
