TV and media units in Hornchurch Marshes: what you get
We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood in our workshop. You choose a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, in the colour you prefer. We fit across Havering and the rest of London once the design and quote are agreed. Most enquiries start with a TV stand that doesn’t fit the wall and somewhere to keep games tidy, and the answer is made at our workshop from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
In a home built since 2000, the aerial point and sockets are normally already fixed in place. Many homes around Hornchurch Marshes are from those years, so TV and media units are usually designed around what’s already there. Any new socket is a job for your electrician, and we leave space and cable routes for it.
We write quotes in plain English, without jargon. They say what will be made, what it’s made from and how it will be finished.

Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
For carcasses and drawer boxes, birch plywood is hard-wearing that stand up to daily use. The edge can be painted or left as a detail.
Moisture-resistant MDF
Moisture-resistant MDF is stable and takes paint well, so we use it for panels, doors and the faces you see.
Why bespoke in Hornchurch Marshes?
Off-the-shelf TV units come in a few set colours. Ours are painted in a colour agreed with you, by spray or by hand. Off-the-shelf depths can crowd a compact new-build room, whereas fitted pieces can be as shallow as the space needs. It can still go to the ceiling.
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.

Practical tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. These practical tips help:
- Think about the viewing height from your sofa
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
- Let us know about access early
- Think about whether you’ll upgrade the screen
Paint is dry to the touch well before it has fully cured. At first, lift boxes and speakers into place rather than pushing them.
Heavy equipment is best kept low.

Your questions about TV and media units in Hornchurch Marshes
Is Hornchurch Marshes in the area you cover for TV and media units?
Yes. We cover all of Havering and the rest of London, and Hornchurch Marshes is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Hornchurch Marshes?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Is there room for a soundbar?
We plan open spaces for speakers and soundbars. Closing speakers behind a door muffles them, so we leave them open.
Can a built-in unit hide all the wires?
That’s the aim, and it’s planned from the start. Access panels make future changes easy. For a wall-mounted TV, a route behind the screen is planned in.
Do TV units need ventilation?
Media equipment runs warm and needs airflow. We design open backs, gaps or vents where it sits. Once it is in, don’t block the gaps.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
It is made in sections. That’s why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways during the design visit.

How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Fitting day starts by covering floors and setting out the sections. The pieces are levelled and fixed with fixings that suit the wall. Any hand painting can be finished on site.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- We visit to measure and go through the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- You get a quote in writing covering the design, the materials and the finish.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which takes paint well, and birch plywood.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, and any hand painting is done in the room. Go gently with new paintwork while it cures.
How to prepare

Flats, leases and landlords
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it’s worth raising at the design visit.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of.
