Your questions about TV and media units in Malden Rushett
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Chessington South station?
Yes. We cover all of Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Malden Rushett?
Yes. We cover all of Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London, and Malden Rushett is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, and then we send a quote.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Each room is quoted on its own: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. The written quote follows the design visit.
Do pictures help?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
Can you plan for a future TV?
If you’re likely to upgrade, we can leave room for it. It’s useful to know the size you’re thinking of.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. It depends on your lease, and some need consent for alterations. We can’t give advice on your lease, so check it or ask your managing agent.
TV and media units for homes in Malden Rushett
Built-in TV and media units bring the screen, set-top boxes, speakers and cables together in one piece of furniture. The wall is planned as a whole, rather than a stand with wires trailing behind it. For a living room in Malden Rushett, we start with a design visit to measure and talk through what you use. Most enquiries start with standard units leaving gaps and a screen at the wrong height, and the answer is built in our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Many houses from between the wars, and many semis, have been extended or opened up inside, and around Malden Rushett, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a large share 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.
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.

How fitting day works
You won’t need to do much on the day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and the room should already be cleared, as agreed at the measuring visit. After that, it is over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. 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. It helps to clear the room and the route before we arrive. On the day, we cover the floors first, then bring the sections in. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- You get in touch and list what the unit has to take: the screen, boxes, consoles and speakers.
- We visit to measure up, note where the sockets are and plan how the cables will run.
- A quote in writing follows for the unit.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, leaving routes for cables and gaps for air.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
Arranging a design visit
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit. To book one, send us a few details through our contact form.

TV and media units in Malden Rushett: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Malden Rushett were built between 1945 and 1972 (about 45%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 23%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock 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. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Malden Rushett include Rushett Farmhouse (Grade II), less than half a mile south-east. If your own home is listed, changes inside that alter its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, may need listed building consent. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. Where a home in Malden Rushett is on or beside a main road, it’s useful to mention that at the design visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
Close to Claygate Common? TV and media units can be planned to frame a window with a view rather than block it. For a family home near Chessington Community College, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.

The problems TV and media units solve
Some have tried off-the-shelf units that never quite fitted. Standard TV stands rarely suit an tricky wall, and a bespoke unit is made for the space.
Most of the enquiries we get are about things like these:
- Speakers muffled behind doors
- A TV stand that does not fit the wall
- Clutter around the TV
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
Living in a block of flats near Chessington South station? Then the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
- Whether they measure the room themselves
Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after with a little care. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Decide whether the TV will be wall-mounted or stand on the unit
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
- Talk to your electrician early about sockets
Doors can settle a little once the unit is in use. Hinges can typically be adjusted to line them up again.
Don’t let clutter build up against the unit’s vents as things change.
