TV and Media Units in Green Street Green

About our TV and media units in Green Street Green
Everything starts with the screen. The opening is planned around your current TV, or a bigger one if you’re likely to upgrade, with a margin so it isn’t a tight squeeze. The height of the screen matters as well: it should suit where you sit, not just the wall. If you’re living with alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste and set-top boxes stacked on a stand, TV and media units made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
In an area like Green Street Green, where interwar homes or semis make up much of the housing, many living rooms have been opened up to the dining room behind. The result is often a long room with a chimney breast, a good spot for TV and media units. Cable routes for a TV or speakers, and space for set-top boxes, are planned at the measuring visit, with any new sockets left to your electrician.
Everything we agree at the measuring visit goes into the written quote: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it is easier before the furniture is made.

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. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are normally simple, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. TV and media units arrive in sections and are assembled in place, with floors protected throughout.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit.
- At the design visit we agree the layout and talk about colour and finish.
- You get a quote in writing covering the design, the materials and the finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray-painted finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, and any hand painting is done in the room.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture

If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you don’t, that is fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, message us from the contact page.
Advice
Questions we’re often asked
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Green Street Green?
Yes. Green Street Green is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Bromley and London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Green Street Green?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
Do you move sockets for a TV unit?
Your electrician does that. Ideally it’s done before fitting.
Will the cables be hidden?
That is the aim, and it is planned from the start. Routes, openings and removable panels let you add or change leads later without taking the unit apart. If the TV is wall-mounted, we plan a route behind the screen.
How do I get started?
The first step is to tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. To send them, fill in our short enquiry form.
TV and media units for homes in Green Street Green
Homes built between 1945 and 1972 make up about 45% of the housing in the streets around Green Street Green, with about 22% built between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Green Street Green include Chelsfield Hall Farmhouse (Grade II), under half a mile south-east, and Denbarn Farmhouse (Grade II), under half a mile south-west. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling may need listed building consent. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. More than a third of the homes in the area around Green Street Green (about 45%) were built between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Rooms from that era are often squarer, with fewer alcoves and sometimes no chimney breast, so a full wall of TV and media units is often the answer, fixed to suit the wall, which may be concrete or block.
If you live near Hewitt's Chalk Bank, TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear. For families living near Green Street Green Primary School, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place.

What’s near Green Street Green
Around Green Street Green, we cover homes near Queens Head pub and the streets around them. Green Street Green’s nearest station is Chelsfield station, roughly 0.9 miles east. A little further out are Orpington Hospital (0.8 miles north-east) and Crofton Roman Villa (1.5 miles north).
Flats, conversions and lettings
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising at the design visit.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you get in touch.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Green Street Green
Games, controllers and remotes need a home. Cupboards and drawers in the unit keep them in one place.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- Speakers muffled behind doors
- Wasted space around the screen
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
- Leads that show from every angle
If you live in a flat close to Chelsfield station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture typically costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it is quick to buy.
What it’s made from
Doors and drawer fronts
Drawers keep controllers and games tidy close to hand. They’re painted in the same colour as the rest.
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting is done in the workshop, giving a smooth, even surface that suits clean, modern lines.
