What happens on fitting day
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and your quote sets out the fitting days. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. Gates, paths and steps up to the door are part of the route we measure. Floors are covered from the door to the room.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- We visit to measure and talk through the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- A written quote follows, with the finish set out.
- The unit is made 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.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician beforehand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Arranging a design visit
A quote begins with some details from you: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a quote in writing.

TV and media units in Little Stanmore
A built-in TV unit gives the screen, the boxes, the speakers and the cables one planned home. Instead of a stand, a tangle of wires and a few odd shelves, the whole wall is designed at once. If you’re planning a TV unit in Little Stanmore, we start with a design visit to measure and talk through what you use. If you’re living with leads that show from every angle and somewhere to keep games tidy, that’s what TV and media units are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Around Little Stanmore, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, 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. Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood keep the pieces stable, and the paint finish is agreed with you.
The written quote is your record of the job. It sets out the TV unit designed for your room, what it is made from and how it’s finished, and the workshop works from it.

Boards, parts and paint
Moisture-resistant MDF
A large TV wall needs flat, stable panels. MDF gives smooth, even surfaces for painting.
Doors and drawer fronts
Drawers suit games, controllers and remotes close to hand. They’re painted in the same colour as the rest.
When you need someone else
Not everything around TV and media units is carpentry, from an electrician to a plumber or an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. Here is what to bear in mind:
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
- Painting the walls and ceiling
- Structural changes to the wall
If in doubt, you can fill in our short enquiry form and describe the room before you arrange a visit. How it works.

Practical tips
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Think about the viewing height from your sofa
- Plan any new sockets with your electrician before fitting
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
- Note which boxes need line of sight for their remotes
Once your equipment is in, check that it isn’t running hot. Keep vents, gaps and open backs clear of cables and clutter.
Label cables when you set things up, so changes later are simple.

TV and media units for homes in Little Stanmore
About 66% of the homes in the streets around Little Stanmore went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 15% since 2000, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. 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. Little Stanmore is partly covered by a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. The controls in a conservation area are mostly about the outside of buildings, so furniture fitted inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. TfL’s Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every part of London, Harrow included. It applies to the vans that deliver and fit furniture in Little Stanmore, as it does anywhere else in London. How the van gets to your door is planned during the design visit.
If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Lawrence, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at. Close to Canons Park? TV and media units can be planned to frame a window with a view rather than block it. If you live in a flat close to Mill Hill Broadway 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.
Little Stanmore is within the London Borough of Harrow, about 4 miles south-west of Harrow. From period terraces to newer flats in Little Stanmore, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. Our work takes in places right across Harrow, large and small.

Questions from Little Stanmore
Does a conservation area in or near Little Stanmore affect fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Little Stanmore?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. 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 let us know about parking during the design visit.
Do you cover areas outside London?
No. We cover London only: all 32 boroughs and the City of London.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
Do you move sockets for a TV unit?
Electrical work isn’t something we do. Your electrician handles sockets and wiring. We tell you where the unit will sit so the sockets end up in the right place.
Does the unit work if the TV is on a bracket?
If the TV is wall-mounted, we design the unit around the bracket position. The wall needs to be sound for the bracket so we check the wall during the design visit.
Pricing TV and media units in Little Stanmore
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The number of doors and drawers
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
Helping us understand the room
To give us a picture of the room, it is useful to include:
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
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. Afterwards, we send a written quote. To arrange the visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
