How fitting day works
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and that happens on fitting day. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, 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 at the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- To begin, drop us a line using the contact form; a brief note on the TV wall and everything that plugs into it is plenty.
- We visit to measure up, note where the sockets are and plan how the cables will run.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, leaving routes for cables and gaps for air.
- We fit it in your home and leave the cable routes ready for you to use.
Preparing the room
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Getting a quote
It is useful to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them give us a good feel for the space. To share them, message us from the contact page, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
Advice
About our TV and media units in Hounslow West
In many period living rooms, the chimney breast and its two alcoves shape the whole wall. The alcoves can take cupboards for equipment and shelves above. We keep any vent in the chimney breast clear. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and people most often get in touch about a TV that looks out of place in the room and clutter around the TV.
If you live in one of the interwar houses or semis around Hounslow West, the main room is often well proportioned, with a bay, a chimney breast and not many other recesses. TV and media units can fill the alcoves, run the length of a wall or frame the chimney breast, depending on how you use the room. The carcasses are made from moisture-resistant MDF or birch plywood, painted in a colour agreed with you.

What else we make in Hounslow West
Tips worth knowing
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
- Tell us about parking and access during the design visit
- Think about whether you want the screen on a bracket or on a shelf
- Plan open spaces for anything controlled by a remote
A soft, slightly damp cloth is all painted surfaces need. Avoid abrasive pads and strong sprays.
Leave any new socket or wiring work to your electrician, and do not daisy-chain adaptors.
When you need someone else
We make and fit furniture, and we do not do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. Please bear these in mind too:
- Removing a chimney breast or any structural work
- Connecting the TV signal or internet
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician

Questions from Hounslow West
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Hounslow station?
Yes. We cover all of Hounslow and the rest of London. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Hounslow West?
Yes, Hounslow West is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Hounslow and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, and then we send a quote.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
We plan the route in at the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and each section is made to a size that will get through.
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. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. To send them, get in touch through our contact form.
What if I buy a larger TV?
We can plan the opening with a bigger screen in mind, if you expect to upgrade. Mention the largest screen you might buy when we visit.
Hounslow West homes and TV and media units
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 33% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Hounslow West, with about 19% built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how TV and media units are fixed and fitted. Near the centre of Hounslow West, Historic England’s list includes Church of St Paul (Grade II), under half a mile north-east. For a listed home, changes inside that alter its character can need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. All of London, Hounslow included, is inside the ULEZ. Vans bringing furniture to Hounslow West fall under it, just as they do across the rest of London. Parking and access are planned during the design visit.
Osterley House, about 2.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. For families living near Hounslow Heath Infant and Nursery School, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.

Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
Some equipment needs line of sight for its remote, so those spaces may be open rather than behind a door.
Moisture-resistant MDF
Wide panels around a screen need to stay flat. MDF gives smooth, even surfaces for painting.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Hounslow West
Upgrading to a bigger screen is a common trigger. The old stand no longer suits it, or the screen takes over the room. Shelves and cupboards around the screen make it sit better in the room.
TV and media units can help with:
- Empty alcoves beside the TV
- A TV stand that doesn’t fit the wall
- Leads that show from every angle
- Set-top boxes stacked on a stand
For a flat near Hounslow station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.
