Is bespoke worth it?
Screen sizes change, and a stand that suits today’s set may look small with the next. We can plan the opening with a bigger screen in mind if you expect to upgrade. Ready-made units come in standard depths that rarely suit every space, which may be too deep for one spot and too shallow for another. Fitted furniture is made to the depth the space can take.
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, 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.
Why us?
- Built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood

How we make TV and media units for Hayes
TV units are made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood in our workshop. The finish is spray painted in the workshop or hand painted, in a colour agreed with you. We work across London, including Hayes once the design and quote are agreed. Most enquiries start with empty alcoves beside the TV and a TV that looks out of place in the room; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
A good part of the housing around Hayes 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, and that layout shapes where TV and media units work best. Walls are often truer than in older houses, but they’re still measured carefully and scribed where they wander.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

Common questions about TV and media units
I live near Hayes & Harlington station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Hillingdon and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details about the room.
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, works inside that affect its character can need listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Can you build a TV unit for a wall-mounted TV?
The unit can be planned either way. For a wall-mounted TV, the layout works around the bracket position or we size the top for a TV that stands on 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’ll get a quote in writing once we have measured up.
How do I get started?
It is easiest to send us a few details through our contact form. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
My walls aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
Walls and floors that aren’t true are part of the job in older homes. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth, so it sits tight to the room.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Hayes
In older living rooms, a TV can look out of place. Building it into the alcoves or around the chimney breast makes it part of the room.
If you recognise any of these, it is worth talking to us:
- Leads that show from every angle
- A big screen that dominates the wall
- Wasted space around the screen
- Boxes with no ventilation
Close to Barra Hall Park? TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear.

From workshop to your room
Once the main sections are fixed in place, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly, then checked again. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it is worth mentioning during the design visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit, 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. Any new sockets are a job for your electrician.
- You receive a quote setting out the layout and the paint finish, for you to look over.
- The unit is made at our workshop, with cable routes and vents built in, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the unit goes in, is levelled and scribed, and the cable routes are left clear.
Before fitting day
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote starts with a few details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of pictures if you can take them. When you are ready, message us from the contact page. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a written quote.

Flats, conversions and lettings
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so tell us about it at the design visit.
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, after measuring the route during the design visit.
Living-room carpentry in Hayes: local notes
About 50% of the homes in the area around Hayes went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 19% since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. 3 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of central Hayes. Historic England says England has around 10,000, and the controls mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Hillingdon is no exception. Where a street in Hayes is controlled, a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension from the council. Tell us what the parking is like during the design visit.
If you live in a period home close to Church of St Mary, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. For a flat near Hayes & Harlington station, TV and media units are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room.
