TV and media units for your home in Emerson Park
How fitting day works
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. 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. It’s useful to clear the room and the route before we arrive. On the day, we cover the floors first, then bring the sections in. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you. Any new sockets are a job for your electrician.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop, with routes and ventilation planned in, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the unit goes in, is levelled and scribed, and the cable routes are left clear.
How to prepare
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
How to get a quote
A quote begins with some details from you: the room, rough sizes and some photos if you have them. When you’re ready, send us a few details through our contact form. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
Advice
TV and media units in Emerson Park
Speakers need their own thought. A soundbar can sit on a shelf below the screen. Closing speakers in a cupboard muffles them, so we plan open spaces for them. If your home has wasted space around the screen and boxes and consoles on the floor, that is what TV and media units are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Ceilings in interwar houses tend to be lower than in Victorian ones, and the proportions of TV and media units are set to match. If yours is one of the interwar houses, semis or detached homes that make up much of the housing around Emerson Park, there may be little or no cornice, which lets the furniture run straight up to the ceiling. The skirting is scribed around neatly.
A written quote follows the design visit. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Materials and finishes
Spray-painted finish
Because it is sprayed before fitting, the unit comes painted. Treat it gently while the paint cures fully.
Moisture-resistant MDF
A large TV wall needs flat, stable panels. MDF gives smooth, even surfaces for painting.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Emerson Park
Some have tried off-the-shelf units that never quite fitted. Bought units seldom suit an alcove, a slope or an uneven wall, and that’s where a bespoke unit helps.
A few of the things people ask us to solve are these:
- Alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
- Nowhere good for speakers
- Bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room

Built-in living-room furniture in Emerson Park
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Emerson Park were built between 1945 and 1972 (about 38%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 23%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Emerson Park include Well Tower at Tower Lodge (Grade II), under half a mile west. If your own home is listed, internal works 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. Detached and semi-detached houses are home to about 87% of households in the area around Emerson Park, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. In a semi or detached house, a driveway, where there is one, can make unloading easier.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Hare Hall, about 1.2 miles north-west. For a period home anywhere nearby, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. Close to Haynes Park? TV and media units can be planned to frame a window with a view rather than block it.

Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- Plan any new sockets with your electrician before fitting
- Note the size of each box and speaker
- Choose how the TV will sit before the design is finished
Vents and equipment shelves gather dust, so clean them now and then. It keeps air moving.
Ask your electrician about new sockets rather than running extension leads through the unit, and do not overload sockets.
Flats, leases and landlords
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that is best sorted before fitting day. We can’t give advice on leases.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there’s a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you get in touch.
Your questions about TV and media units in Emerson Park
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Emerson Park?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. 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. It’s useful to let us know about parking at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Emerson Park?
Yes, Emerson Park is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Havering 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.
Can I send pictures before the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. It’s useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
How long will the fitting take?
The time on site depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. We’ll talk you through what to expect beforehand.
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 it sits tight to the room.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need someone to let us in. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
