TV and media units in Edgware
TV and media units for homes in Edgware
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 fit across Barnet and the rest of London. People typically come to us about boxes with no ventilation and boxes and consoles on the floor; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
In a semi from the 1920s or 1930s, the front room typically has a bay at one end and a chimney breast on the side wall. Around Edgware, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing, so that layout is worth knowing well. We tend to plan TV and media units along the chimney breast wall so the bay keeps its light, though every room is measured first.
Everything we agree during the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it is easier before the furniture is made.

Living-room storage in Edgware
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 58% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Edgware, with about 17% built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Edgware include John Keble Church (Grade II), about 0.5 miles south-east. If your own home is listed, works inside that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. About 57% of households in the streets around Edgware live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021. A house like that usually has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
If you live in a flat close to Mill Hill Broadway station, it’s useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. Close to Stoneyfields Park? A room that looks out on trees deserves a design that leaves the window alone.
Edgware is about 4 miles east of Finchley, part of the London Borough of Barnet. Whether your home in Edgware is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. Our Barnet coverage includes Edgware and the places around it.
We cover every part of HA8, NW7 and HA7 for TV and media units. You’ll find streets here like Station Road, Edgware Road High Street and Hillcrest Avenue, and we cover homes on all of them for TV and media units. Edgware sits close to the A5100. If you’re just outside Edgware, we also cover The Hale (1 mile east), Broadfields Estate (1 mile north), Burnt Oak (1 mile south-east), Canons Park (1 mile south-west) and Little Stanmore (1 mile south-west). Other parts of Barnet we cover include Finchley (4 miles east), Barnet (4 miles north-east), East Finchley (5 miles south-east), Hendon (3 miles south-east), Whetstone (4 miles east) and Friern Barnet (5 miles east).
Near you in Edgware
Our area takes in the homes around The Northgate School, London Academy and Railway Hotel, among other places. The nearest railway station is Mill Hill Broadway station, roughly 1.1 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Edgware Community Hospital (0.9 miles south) and Broadwalk Centre (0.5 miles south-west). Open spaces near Edgware include Mill Hill Old Railway Nature Reserve.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Edgware
In an open-plan space, the TV wall is on show from everywhere. Built-in furniture makes that wall look planned and adds storage for the rest of the room.
Requests we hear often include:
- Alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste
- A screen at the wrong height
- A cabinet that traps heat
- Speakers muffled behind doors
If you live in a period home close to St Andrew, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.
Before you choose who makes it
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Whether you’ll get a written quote, not just a figure
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
How fitting works for TV and media units
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections made in our workshop come in next. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Some interwar and suburban streets have driveways, which can make unloading easier, so let us know at the measuring visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You contact us with a short note about the room and the unit you have in mind, including the size of the screen.
- We come to measure, note the sockets and agree the layout.
- We send a written quote for the unit.
- The unit is built in our workshop, with openings for cables and air.
- We install the unit, leaving the cable routes and vents clear.
How to prepare
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
Ask for a quote
Rough measurements are fine at the start. We measure everything properly during the design visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room. You receive a quote in writing after the visit.
Advice
Why bespoke in Edgware?
Off-the-shelf TV units come in a few set colours. We paint ours in the colour you choose, sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand. Ready-made units come in standard depths that rarely suit every space, so they can stick out too far or waste space behind. With fitted furniture, the depth is chosen for the room.
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.

Flats, leases and landlords
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, and that is best sorted before fitting day. We can’t advise on your lease.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, often to make the most of a small or awkward room. It is made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work.
What we do not do
As carpenters, we leave some work to other trades. It helps to know these before you plan the job:
- Installing aerials, satellite dishes or broadband
- Structural changes to the wall
- Painting the walls and ceiling
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can send us a few details through our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.

What else we make in Edgware
Your questions about TV and media units in Edgware
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Edgware?
Yes. Edgware is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Barnet and London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do you cover homes near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. We cover all of Barnet and the rest of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
Walls and floors that are not true are part of the job in older homes. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth, so there are no gaps at the sides.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room.
How do I get a quote?
The first step is to send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
Will the cables be hidden?
That’s the aim, and it is planned from the start. Access panels make future changes easy without taking the unit apart. For a wall-mounted TV, a route behind the screen is planned in.
