TV and media units in Enfield Highway
Media equipment warms up as it runs, so sealing equipment in a cupboard isn’t a good idea. We plan ventilation into the unit, with open backs, gaps or vented doors where they’re needed. It’s worth checking each maker’s guidance on clearances. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and the things people most often want solved are somewhere to keep games tidy and nowhere good for speakers.
Lots of semis and interwar houses have been extended at the back or had the back rooms knocked through, and around Enfield Highway, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a large share of the housing. A long through room gives TV and media units a whole wall to work with, or mark out the sitting end from the dining end. New plasterboard in an extension and older brick or block in the original house take different fixings.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

From workshop to your room
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 we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall, until the line is tight. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Loft stairs in an interwar house can be tight, with a low ceiling at the top, so pieces for a loft room are sized for the narrowest point. The main stairs in houses of that age are normally straighter. The pieces are joined and fixed once in place.
- You get in touch and list what the unit has to take: the screen, boxes, consoles and speakers.
- We visit to measure up, note where the sockets are and plan how the cables will run.
- A written quote follows for the unit.
- The unit is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable openings and vents cut in.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
Preparing the room
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know

What else we make in Enfield Highway
Tips worth knowing
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
- Book your electrician first if sockets need to move
- Note which boxes need line of sight for their remotes
- Decide whether the TV will be wall-mounted or stand on the unit
Painted finishes feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. At first, lift boxes and speakers into place rather than pushing them, so the paint isn’t scuffed.
Label cables when you set things up to make future changes easier.
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, which is worth sorting early. We cannot advise on your lease, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, as it makes good use of an tricky room. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
TV and media units for homes in Enfield Highway
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 55% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Enfield Highway, with about 16% built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Part of Enfield Highway is in a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are largely about how buildings look from outside. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Enfield is no exception. If your street in Enfield Highway is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay through the council may be needed. Let us know about parking at the design visit.
Forty Hall, about 1.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. For a family home near Enfield Heights Academy, TV and media units can be planned with low cupboards for toys and higher shelves for everything else.
Enfield Highway is about 3 miles south of Edmonton, within the London Borough of Enfield. From period terraces to newer flats in Enfield Highway, we measure the room as it is and design around it. Enfield Highway is one of 26 places on our list for Enfield.
We make TV and media units across EN3 and EN1 for TV and media units. We cover homes on streets like Hoe Lane, Old Road and East Road, along with the roads around them, whether you want TV and media units or another piece made for the room. We also cover Brimsdown (1 mile east), Enfield Lock (1 mile north-east) and Forty Hill (1 mile west). Across the rest of Enfield, our area takes in Edmonton (3 miles south), Enfield (2 miles west), Palmers Green (4 miles south-west), New Southgate (5 miles south-west), Enfield Chase (2 miles west) and Bush Hill Park (2 miles south-west).

Do you need TV and media units in Enfield Highway?
Most people come to us because of the cables. Leads trail from the TV to the boxes, the sockets and the speakers, and no stand ever quite hides them. A built-in unit gives them a planned route.
We’re often asked to help with:
- Leads that show from every angle
- Speakers muffled behind doors
- Alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste
- A big screen that dominates the wall
Living in a block of flats near Brimsdown station? Then it’s useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
What it costs
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Doors and drawers, and how many
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It helps to talk about parking at the design visit.
What to send when you get in touch
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. Just send what you can:
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- How you want to use the space
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing. To book one, get in touch through our contact form.
Questions we’re often asked
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Enfield Highway?
Yes, Enfield Highway is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Enfield 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.
Does a conservation area in or near Enfield Highway affect fitted furniture?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, internal works that affect its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need someone to let us in. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
How long does it take to fit a TV unit?
The fitting depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The unit is made at our workshop first, so the time in your home is mostly fitting and finishing.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. We’ll also ask about access and parking, and afterwards we send a written quote.
Does the unit work if the TV is on a bracket?
We can plan for either a wall-mounted TV or one standing on the unit. For a wall-mounted TV, the layout works around the bracket position or we size the top for a TV that stands on it.
