How we price TV and media units
There is no set price, because there’s no set room. The things that affect it are:
- How square the room is
- The overall size of the piece
- How many doors and drawers there are
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, which the quote allows for. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Where you live, with the postcode
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, along with rough measurements. To share them, message us from the contact page, and we will arrange a design visit.
TV and media units in Harmondsworth
Speakers need space to be heard properly. A soundbar can sit on a shelf below the screen. Speakers work best in the open rather than behind closed doors. 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 games, controllers and remotes everywhere and boxes and consoles on the floor.
Around Harmondsworth, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, the living room may be a good size but with fewer recesses than a Victorian house. TV and media units can fill the alcoves, run the length of a wall or frame the chimney breast. Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood keep the pieces stable, and the paint finish is agreed with you.
A quote in writing follows the design visit. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you are getting.

What prompts TV and media units in Harmondsworth
The most common reason is a mess of wires. Leads trail from the TV to the boxes, the sockets and the speakers. Built-in units give cables somewhere to go.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A TV stand that does not fit the wall
- Alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste
- Clutter around the TV
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
For families living near Harmondsworth Primary School, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.

- Whether they measure the room themselves
Could you do it yourself?
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths.
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.
Harmondsworth homes and TV and media units
In the neighbourhood around Harmondsworth, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 34%) and between 1973 and 1999 (about 25%), 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 Harmondsworth include Church of St Mary (Grade II*), under half a mile north, and Harmondsworth Hall (Grade II), under half a mile north. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling may need listed building consent. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. That includes the vans that bring and fit furniture in Harmondsworth. We go through parking and access at the design visit.

Questions we’re often asked
Will a conservation area stop me having TV and media units fitted in Harmondsworth?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character may need listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Do you cover homes near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station?
Yes, homes across Hillingdon and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with a few details about the room.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Every job is priced for its room: size, internal fittings, the finish and how tricky the walls are all play a part. The written quote follows the design visit.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
The furniture is built in sections. At the design visit, we measure the route not just the room.
How do I get a quote for TV and media units in Harmondsworth?
Just fill in our short enquiry form. It helps to send rough measurements and a few pictures, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
What happens on fitting day
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, which keeps the lines straight. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors are covered from the door to the room.
- You get in touch and let us know about the room and your equipment.
- At the design visit, we measure up and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you. New sockets or wiring are for your electrician, so it helps to have them in mind early.
- Your quote follows, with the design, materials and finish set out, ready for you to check.
- Each section is built in our workshop to the measurements we took, with openings for cables and air.
- We install the unit, leaving the cable routes and vents clear. We check the doors and shelves with you before we leave.
Before fitting day
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Starting with a design visit
To get a quote, message us from the contact page and tell us a little about the room and roughly what you’d like. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
Advice
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so tell us about it at the design visit.
