TV and media units for your home in Kingston Vale
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Standalone TV units cost less and arrive quickly. A stand is also simple to swap when technology moves on. Bespoke units are made for one wall and the things you use. Walls in interwar houses are straighter than in older ones, but rarely perfect, and standalone units can lean or gap. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension. It is useful to talk about parking at the design visit.
Why us?

About our TV and media units in Kingston Vale
TV units are made 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 work across London, including Kingston Vale. People typically come to us about alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste and boxes with no ventilation, and the answer is made at our workshop from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Plenty of semis and interwar houses have been extended at the back or had the back rooms knocked through, which matters around Kingston Vale, where homes like these are a big part of the housing. In a long knocked-through room, TV and media units can run the full length of one wall. An extension’s plasterboard walls need different fixings from the original brick or block.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

TV and media units for homes in Kingston Vale
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Kingston Vale were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 45%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 24%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. 6 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of the centre of Kingston Vale. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are largely about how buildings look from outside. More than a third of the homes in the neighbourhood around Kingston Vale (about 45%) date from between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Houses from the 1920s and 1930s often have a bay window and a chimney breast in the front room, and TV and media units are planned around both.
If your home is one of the older houses near St John the Baptist, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. For families living near Robin Hood Primary School, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.

What prompts TV and media units in Kingston Vale
Families with consoles, games and controllers want them tidied away. Cupboards and drawers in the unit keep them in one place.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- A TV stand that does not fit the wall
- A screen at the wrong height
- Set-top boxes stacked on a stand
- Leads that show from every angle
Near listed buildings like Dorich House, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre of Kingston Vale, older homes may keep original joinery that TV and media units can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
Before you choose who makes it
- How they handle walls that aren’t straight
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
From workshop to your room
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. It is useful to clear the room and the route before we arrive. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
- It starts with a short note from you about the TV wall.
- We visit to plan the unit and check the way in. Let us know about parking too, since a van may need a visitor permit or a paid bay.
- We send a written quote.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections that fit the route in.
- We bring the sections in, join them on the wall and scribe them to fit.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
Starting with a design visit
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. A quote in writing follows the visit, so you can take your time with it. To arrange the visit, drop us a line using the contact form.

Before and after fitting day
The finish lasts best with a little care. These practical tips help:
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
- Book your electrician first if sockets need to move
- Plan open spaces for anything controlled by a remote
Painted finishes feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. At first, lift boxes and speakers into place rather than pushing them, so the paint isn’t scuffed.
Heavy equipment is best kept low, with the weight spread across shelves.
Pricing TV and media units in Kingston Vale
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. The main factors are:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The number of doors and drawers
- Parking near your home
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. A larger piece means more material and more time, so size is the starting point. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
What to send when you contact us
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Your postcode and the borough
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Approximate measurements of the space
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we have measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
Questions we are often asked
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Kingston Vale?
Yes, Kingston Vale is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Merton and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Kingston Vale?
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. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
Where should speakers go in a TV unit?
We plan open spaces for speakers and soundbars. Closing speakers behind a door muffles them.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some need consent for alterations. We can’t give advice on your lease.
How do I get started?
Just message us from the contact page. It is useful to send rough measurements and a few photos, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
