TV and media units for your home in Lower Clapton
What happens on fitting day
When we arrive on fitting day, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. Next, we carry in the sections built in our workshop, one at a time. How long 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. Noise from drilling travels in a block, so neighbours may appreciate a note, and some buildings set hours for noisy work. Fitting day is planned around any rules your building has. Saturdays can be arranged if your building allows work then.
- To begin, use our 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.
- The unit is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable openings and vents cut in.
- We fit it in your home and leave the cable routes ready for you to use.
Preparing the room
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
Ask for a quote
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 book one, fill in our short enquiry form.
Advice
TV and media units in Lower Clapton: what you get
Everything starts with the screen. The opening is planned around your current TV, or a bigger one if you’re likely to upgrade, with a margin so it isn’t a tight squeeze. Viewing height matters too: we set it to suit the sofa, not the shape of the wall. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are set-top boxes stacked on a stand and alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste.
With most households around Lower Clapton in purpose-built flats, getting the furniture into the building matters as much as the design. TV and media units are made in sections sized to go up the stairs, into the lift and through the front door, and assembled and fitted in place. If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before anything is fixed to the walls.

Practical tips
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Decide whether the TV will be wall-mounted or stand on the unit
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
After setting up, check that the boxes are not getting too warm. Don’t block the gaps and openings left for air with cables or clutter.
Label cables when you set things up, so changes later are simple.
The problems TV and media units solve
Games, controllers and remotes need a home. Cupboards and drawers in the unit keep them in one place.
TV and media units can help with:
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
- Somewhere to keep games tidy
- Bought furniture that does not suit the room
- Space for a soundbar and speakers
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like United Reformed Church, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
Before you choose who makes it
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- Have they thought about parking near you?

Flats, leases and landlords
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Let us know about them at the measuring visit, so fitting day is planned around them.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, finished by spray or by hand.
How we price TV and media units
There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. The things that affect it are:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The overall size of the piece
- Parking near your home
Rooms that are not square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it.
Before the design visit
Ahead of the design visit, we’ll typically ask about:
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, along with rough measurements. To share them, fill in our short enquiry form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
TV and media units in Lower Clapton: local notes
About 37% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Lower Clapton went up before 1919, and about 21% between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. 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. 10 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of the centre of Lower Clapton. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Purpose-built flats are home to about 58% of households in the streets around Lower Clapton, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Many blocks have rules on lift booking and working hours, so check with the managing agent before fitting day.

Sutton House, about 0.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units.
