About our TV and media units in Hatch End
Cables are the part most people want to hide. We plan cable routes through the unit from the start, with holes, channels and access panels so leads can be added or changed later. The routes are ours, while any wiring is for your electrician. If your home has clutter around the TV and alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste, that is what TV and media units are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
A good part of the housing around Hatch End is interwar, semi-detached or detached. 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, which decides where TV and media units sit. Walls in houses of that age are normally straighter than in Victorian ones, though they’re still checked and scribed where needed.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

Boards, parts and paint
Spray-painted finish
A spray-painted finish is applied in our workshop, giving a smooth, even surface that suits clean, modern lines.
Plinths and scribe strips
In older houses, we usually scribe the sides and top. It is what gives the unit its built-in look.

TV and media units in Hatch End: local notes
In the neighbourhood around Hatch End, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 38%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 28%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. The National Heritage List records 15 entries within half a mile of the centre of Hatch End. Being near listed buildings does not make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Hatch End is covered by it. Parking and access are planned at the design visit.
The wider area includes historic houses like Headstone Manor, about 1 mile south-east. If your own home is a period one, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. If your children go to Pinner Park Primary School or a school nearby, low doors that small hands can open, with books and ornaments higher up, suit a busy family room. For an older house near Pinner Baptist Church, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
Hatch End is about 2 miles south-east of Harrow, part of the London Borough of Harrow. Wherever you are in Hatch End, it works the same way: we visit and measure, send a written quote, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it. We cover places right across Harrow, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
Design visits and fitting in HA5, HA2 and HA3 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets here like Love Lane, Moss Lane and Tudor Road, and we cover homes on all of them for TV and media units. We also cover the places around Hatch End: Headstone (1 mile east), Harrow Weald (2 miles east) and Belmont (2 miles east). We also make TV and media units in nearby places such as Harrow (2 miles south-east), Stanmore (3 miles east), Wealdstone (2 miles east), Little Stanmore (4 miles east), Greenhill (2 miles south-east) and South Harrow (3 miles south). Hatch End is one of the larger places we cover in Harrow.
Landmarks near Hatch End
Our area takes in the homes around Nower Hill High School and The Moon & Sixpence pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Hatch End station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. A little further out are St. George's Shopping Centre (2 miles south-east) and Heath Robinson Museum (0.8 miles south-west).
Is bespoke worth it?
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 panels for changes later. Off-the-shelf units come in set widths, so a run along a wall usually ends with a gap, so fitted furniture is made to the wall’s own length. It can use the full height too.
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside at the design visit, and the quote follows.
Why choose us

Practical tips
Looking after painted furniture is simple. These habits help most:
- Tell us about parking and access during the design visit
- Note the screen size you have or plan to buy
- Plan any new sockets with your electrician before fitting
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
Doors can settle a little once the unit is in use. Hinges can normally be adjusted to line them up again.
Do not let clutter build up against the unit’s vents as things change.
How fitting works for TV and media units
Fitting day follows a set 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 length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are usually straightforward, though we still measure the route in along with the room itself. TV and media units arrive in sections and are assembled in place, with floors protected throughout.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment, and where the sockets are now.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you.
- We send a written quote with the design, materials and finish.
- The unit is made at our workshop, with cable routes and vents built in.
- Fitting day: the unit goes in, is levelled and scribed, and the cable routes are left clear. A hand-painted finish is done on site, if you chose one.
How to prepare
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Starting with a design visit
Every quote follows a design visit. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, and the written quote comes after. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. To book a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Advice
What affects the cost of TV and media units
What you pay depends on:
- The overall size of the piece
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
Parking is part of the price picture in London. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It’s useful to talk about parking at the design visit, so we can plan for it.
What to send when you contact us
To help us picture the room, please include:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Examples of the look you are after
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To arrange it, fill in our short enquiry form with some details about the room. You receive a quote in writing after the visit.
Questions from Hatch End
I live near Hatch End station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Harrow and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Hatch End?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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. It helps to tell us about parking at the measuring visit.
Will my boxes get too hot inside the unit?
Media equipment runs warm and needs airflow. The unit is planned with open backs or gaps where boxes go. Once it’s in, don’t block the gaps.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Each room is quoted on its own: size, internal fittings, the finish and how tricky the walls are all play a part. The written quote follows the design visit.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
