About our TV and media units in Gunnersbury
Speakers need their own thought. A soundbar typically sits just below the TV. Speakers work best in the open rather than behind closed doors, so we plan open spaces for them. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and people most often get in touch about standard units leaving gaps and a big screen that dominates the wall.
You might live in a Victorian terrace, a 1930s semi, a mansion block or a recent flat, and your home in Gunnersbury could be any one of them. Each brings different walls and floors, so the design of TV and media units starts with a look at what you have. A period house may need scribing to bowed walls, while a newer flat may need fixings for plasterboard.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Questions from Gunnersbury
I live near Gunnersbury station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Hounslow and the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Gunnersbury?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. We don’t treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
My walls are not straight. Is that a problem?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
The time on site depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. We’ll explain what fitting day involves before we start.

What else we make in Gunnersbury
Why bespoke in Gunnersbury?
Bought units come in the maker’s finishes. We paint ours in the colour you choose. Few rooms have truly flat walls and level floors, and standalone units show it with gaps and wobbles. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. You will see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.

Flat-pack or bespoke?
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
From workshop to your room
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference. After that, it’s fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Before fitting day, we check the route in as well as the room, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You get in touch and list what the unit has to take: the screen, boxes, consoles and speakers.

Living-room carpentry in Gunnersbury: local notes
About 37% of the homes in the streets around Gunnersbury went up before 1919, and about 23% since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. The National Heritage List has 31 entries within half a mile of the centre of Gunnersbury. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and TV and media units can be designed to work around them. Around Gunnersbury, about 37% of homes date from before 1919, well above the figure for Hounslow as a whole, about 16%, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. So older-house details are more likely to come into the design of TV and media units.
For a family home near Strand-on-the-Green Junior School, TV and media units can be planned with low cupboards for toys and higher shelves for everything else. Living in a block of flats near Gunnersbury station? Then each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. Gunnersbury Park, about 0.7 miles north-west, 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.

Boards, parts and paint
Shelves
Speakers and books suit open shelves.
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribe strips are trimmed on site to meet walls that aren’t straight, closing the gaps.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. We choose fixings to suit the wall, after checking the walls during the design visit.
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Tell us about them at the design visit, and we will plan the fitting around them.
