From workshop to your room
At the end, we tidy up and lift the floor protection. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Parking varies a lot across London, from permit zones to private bays, so tell us what applies at the design visit. For a flat, building rules on lifts and working hours are worth checking.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit, and where the sockets are now.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you.
- You receive a quote setting out the layout and the paint finish, for you to look over.
- The unit is made at our workshop, with cable routes and vents built 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.
Preparing the room
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Keep pets in another room while we work
Ask for a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you do not, that is fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we’ve measured, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To start, send us a few details through our contact form.

TV and media units in Erith
Hiding the cables is often the main aim. We plan cable routes through the unit from the start, with holes, channels and access panels so leads can be added or changed later. The routes are ours, while any wiring is for your electrician. We make TV and media units from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are empty alcoves beside the TV and bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room.
Whether your home in Erith is a period house, an interwar semi, a post-war flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around your room rather than a standard size. Older rooms bring uneven walls and picture rails, while newer ones bring plasterboard walls and boxed-in pipes. We measure for whichever you have, and the pieces are made to suit.
Our quotes are written in plain words. They say what will be made, what it is made from and how it will be finished, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

What affects the price in Erith
Several things affect the price:
- How big the furniture is
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- The internal fittings
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We’ll talk through what you need inside during the design visit, then set it out in the quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these help most:
- How you want to use the space
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, then send a written quote. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. To arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Tips worth knowing
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Let us know about parking and access during the design visit
- Decide where you’ll sit, so the screen height suits it
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
Doors can settle a little once the unit is in use. Hinges can usually be adjusted to line them up again.
Avoid piling devices on one shelf. Give each its own space.
Why bespoke in Erith?
Off-the-shelf TV units come in a few set colours. Ours are painted in a colour agreed with you. Standalone furniture leaves gaps behind and above it that gather dust, while fitted pieces are scribed tight to the walls and ceiling, which makes cleaning simpler.
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

FAQs: TV and media units in Erith
Do you cover homes near Erith station?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London. To get started, you can use our contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Erith?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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 is useful to let us know about parking at the measuring visit, so the day can be planned around it.
What affects the price of TV and media units?
Each room is quoted on its own: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. You’ll get a written quote once we have measured up.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Inside a house, fitted furniture doesn’t normally need planning permission. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can require listed building consent, so ask the council’s conservation officer.
What happens at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a quote in writing.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture to avoid condensation. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.

Built-in living-room furniture in Erith
In the neighbourhood around Erith, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 26%) and between 1973 and 1999 (about 22%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The centre of Erith is within about a quarter of a mile of the Lesney Park Road Conservation Area. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you’re unsure, check with the council before work starts. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Erith is covered by it. Parking and access are planned at the measuring visit.
If your home is one of the older houses near Christ Church, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at. Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at. For families living near Christ Church (Erith) CofE Primary School, TV and media units can be planned with low cupboards for toys and higher shelves for everything else.

Local landmarks in Erith
Our area takes in the homes around Erith School, The Cross Keys pub and Trinity School and the streets around them. There is a railway station in Erith itself: Erith station. A little further out are Erith Museum (a few minutes’ walk east) and Broadway Shopping Centre (1.9 miles south-west).
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you.
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it, after measuring the route at the design visit.
