TV and media units for homes in Greenford
A built-in TV wall often needs sockets in new places, behind the screen or inside a cupboard. That job is for your electrician, and Part P of the Building Regulations covers some electrical work in homes. It is best done before we fit. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about nowhere good for speakers and bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room.
Around Greenford, interwar houses or semi-detached and detached homes make up a good part of the housing. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the front room may have a bay window at one end and a chimney breast on the side wall, and that layout shapes where TV and media units work best. Walls in houses of that age are typically straighter than in Victorian ones, though they’re still checked and scribed where needed.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Questions from Greenford
Do you cover homes near Greenford station?
Yes, homes across Ealing and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Greenford?
Yes. Greenford is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Ealing and London. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. Some leases need the building owner’s consent before you make alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. Check your lease, as we cannot advise on it.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room.
What if I buy a larger TV?
If you’re likely to upgrade, we can leave room for it. Tell us the size you have in mind so the space and cable routes suit it.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Every job is priced for its room: size, internal fittings, the finish and how awkward the walls are all play a part. You will get a quote in writing once we have measured up.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture normally 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.
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there is normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
TV and media units in Greenford: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Greenford were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 61%) and since 2000 (about 15%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Greenford include Betham House (Grade II), under half a mile south. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling can require listed building consent. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. Parking controls in London are set borough by borough, so Ealing has its own. If parking near you is controlled, a visitor permit or a bay suspension may be needed, and the council arranges suspensions, often with notice. Tell us what the parking is like at the design visit.
For a family home near Oldfield Primary School, TV and media units can be planned with low cupboards for toys and higher shelves for everything else. The wider area includes historic houses like Northolt Manor, about 1 mile north-west. For a period home anywhere nearby, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. If you live in a flat close to Greenford station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.
Greenford is in the London Borough of Ealing, about 3 miles south-east of Ealing. Design visits and fitting in Greenford can be on a Saturday, by arrangement. Our Ealing coverage includes Greenford and the places around it.
We work across UB6, UB5 and UB1 for TV and media units. Our area takes in homes on streets like Courthope Road, Oldfield Farm Gardens and Greenford Road, for TV and media units and any of our other fitted furniture.

What affects the cost of TV and media units
To work out the quote, we look at:
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Parking near your home
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
What we need to know
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Your postcode and the borough
A quote begins with a few details from you: the room, rough sizes and some pictures if you have them. To send them, fill in our short enquiry form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, then send a quote in writing.
What TV and media units can’t fix
We’re carpenters, so some jobs belong to other trades. These are worth knowing before you plan:
- Configuring the TV and sound system
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
- Aerial, satellite or broadband installation
Not sure whether your space suits TV and media units? You can fill in our short enquiry form and we’ll tell you. Our process from visit to fitting.
What it is made from
- Hand-painted finish
- Spray-painted finish
- Birch plywood
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Ventilated cabinets
- Cable routes
Practical tips
The finish lasts best with a little care, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. Here are our suggestions:
- Note the size of each box and speaker
- Look at what the equipment makers say about airflow
- Think about the viewing height from your sofa
- Think about which things need to be seen by a remote
Cupboard doors may settle slightly with use. Hinges can typically be adjusted to line them up again.
Ask your electrician about new sockets rather than running extension leads through the unit, and don’t daisy-chain adaptors.

What happens on fitting day
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, then checked again. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Spray-painted pieces come finished from the workshop, while hand painting can happen on site. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
