What it is made from
Hand-painted finish
With hand painting, you judge the colour in your own room. Scribed edges are painted along with the rest.
Birch plywood
We often use birch plywood for carcasses and drawers. Its layered edge can be painted or shown.
TV and media units in Falconwood
Speakers need their own thought. A soundbar normally sits just below the TV, while larger speakers suit open shelves at the sides. Speakers work best in the open rather than behind closed doors. Typical reasons to get in touch are alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste and boxes with no ventilation, and the answer is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Many houses from between the wars, and many semis, have been extended or opened up inside, and around Falconwood, 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. New plasterboard in an extension and older brick or block in the original house take different fixings.

Practical tips
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Think about whether you will upgrade the screen
- Note the size of each box and speaker
- Think about whether you want the screen on a bracket or on a shelf
- Decide where you’ll sit, so the screen height suits it
Use the access panels and cable routes when you add or change leads instead of making new ones. It keeps the unit tidy.
Heavy equipment is best kept low, and no single shelf overloaded.

Your questions about TV and media units in Falconwood
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Welling station?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley 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, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Falconwood?
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. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room.
How long does it take to fit a TV unit?
It depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The making happens in our workshop, so the time in your home is mostly fitting and finishing.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Each room is quoted on its own: size, internal fittings, the finish and how awkward the walls are all play a part. The written quote follows the design visit.
What happens at the design visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and a written quote follows.
Flats, leases and landlords
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so tell us about it at the measuring visit.
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
How fitting works for TV and media units
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- You tell us about the room and what the unit needs to hold.
- A design visit follows, where we measure and agree the layout, with ventilation for boxes and amplifiers.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a written quote. If anything in it is unclear, ask us.
- Once you’re happy, the unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable routes planned in.
- We bring it to your home and fit it in place, with the cable routes left clear.
Before we arrive
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Ask for a quote
A quote begins with a few details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of photos if you can take them. When you’re ready, fill in our short enquiry form. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
Related advice
Why bespoke in Falconwood?
Bought units often have a single cable gap, but the wires still show between the stand, the wall and the screen. We plan the cable routes into the design, with access left for later changes. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, which shows up against standard furniture. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. A larger piece means more material and more time, so size comes first. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
What you get with us
