The problems TV and media units solve
Upgrading to a bigger screen is a common trigger. The old stand no longer suits it, or the screen takes over the room. Shelves and cupboards around the screen make it sit better in the room.
Some of the things we’re asked to solve include:
- Leads that show from every angle
- Somewhere to keep games tidy
- A screen at the wrong height
- Nowhere good for speakers
For a family home near Ealing Independent College, low doors that small hands can open, with books and ornaments higher up, suit a busy family room.

About our TV and media units in Ealing
A built-in TV wall often needs sockets in new places. That job is for your electrician. Ideally it is done before the unit goes in, and we can tell you where the unit will sit. If your home has a tangle of wires behind the TV and nowhere good for speakers, that’s what TV and media units are for, made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Ceilings in homes built before 1919 are often taller than in later houses, and around Ealing, a large share of homes are that age. That gives full-height TV and media units room to reach the picture rail or the cornice, with the top line set to match the room’s own mouldings. Blocked fireplaces are common too, and a capped chimney should still be ventilated before anything is built against it.

Common questions about TV and media units
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Ealing?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to tell us about parking during the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
My house in Ealing is Victorian. Can you deal with uneven walls?
Yes, that’s normal in older houses: each piece is scribed to the wall and levelled at the base. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
Will you paint the walls around the furniture?
No. We make, fit and finish the furniture, and plastering and decorating are for other trades. We paint the furniture itself, by spray or by hand.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
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.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Ealing?
Yes. Ealing is part of the area we cover, as part of our work across all London boroughs. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Flats, leases and landlords
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of.
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it.
TV and media units in Ealing: local notes
In the area around Ealing, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 56%) and the years since 2000 (about 19%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Within a mile of the centre of Ealing, 10 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are largely about how buildings look from outside. TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules. Where a home in Ealing is on or beside a main road, it helps to mention that during the design visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If your home is one of the older houses near St Saviour's Church, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place. Near listed buildings like Pitzhanger Manor House, less than half a mile east of the centre of Ealing, older homes may keep original joinery that TV and media units can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
Ealing is one of London’s 33 local authority areas. We work across all London boroughs and the City of London, and Ealing is part of that. We cover places right across the rest of London, large and small.

What else we make in Ealing
How we price TV and media units
Not every room costs the same, for these reasons:
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- The number of doors and drawers
- Parking near your home
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Before the design visit
You don’t need exact measurements or a plan. It is enough to send:
- How you want to use the space
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. A written quote follows the visit. To book one, send us a few details through our contact form.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: scribed edges, a level base on an uneven floor and furniture that meets the ceiling, skirting and picture rail. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
What happens on fitting day
In older rooms, the furniture normally has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. We cut and scribe the furniture around them on site, so it looks as though it was always there. 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, edges are trimmed on site to follow the walls, so a clear area to work in near the room helps. Dust is kept down and cleared up as we go. Hand painting, if that’s your finish, can follow the fitting.
- It starts with a short note from you about the TV wall.
- At the design visit we measure the wall and also the hall, stairs and doorways the unit has to pass through.
- A written quote follows, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we make the unit in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The sections are carried in, assembled and set level, ready for your equipment. The finish is sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
How to prepare
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
How to get a quote
Rough measurements are fine at the start. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To arrange it, tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
