TV and media units for homes in Marylebone
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 are planning a TV unit in Marylebone, the first step is a design visit to measure up and look at your equipment. Most enquiries start with a cabinet that traps heat and somewhere to keep games tidy, and the answer is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Ceilings in homes built before 1919 are often taller than in later houses, and around Marylebone, a large share of homes are that age. That gives full-height TV and media units room to reach the picture rail or the cornice, so the furniture looks as if it belongs to the house. Blocked fireplaces are common too, and a capped chimney should still be ventilated before anything is built against it.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

FAQs: TV and media units in Marylebone
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Bond Street station?
Yes, homes across Westminster and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit TV and media units to the uneven walls of an older house in Marylebone?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
How long will the fitting take?
It depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The unit is made at our workshop first.
How do you stop equipment overheating in a TV unit?
Media equipment runs warm and needs airflow. We design open backs, gaps or vents where it sits, rather than sealing it in a cupboard. Keep the vents clear once it is in use.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. It depends on your lease, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. We can’t give advice on your lease.
Can you add sockets behind the TV?
Electrical work is not something we do. Sockets and wiring are for your electrician. We share the layout so the sockets line up with the design.
Is bespoke worth it?
An off-the-shelf TV stand is cheaper and quick to buy. It’s also easy to replace a stand when your equipment changes. A built-in unit is planned for your room and your equipment. Off-the-shelf furniture is made for flat walls and level floors, which older houses rarely have, so you end up with gaps, wobbles and units that do not meet the skirting. Fitted furniture is scribed to the wall instead.
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

How fitting works for TV and media units
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Parking on terraced streets can be tight, especially in a controlled parking zone, so it’s useful to tell us at the design visit what’s outside. The van is unloaded quickly, with the sections carried straight in. Saturday fitting can be arranged.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit.
- At the design visit we agree the layout and talk about colour and finish.
- A quote in writing follows, with the finish set out.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which takes paint well, and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home; a hand-painted finish is applied once it is in and is easy to touch up later. Go gently with new paintwork while it cures.
Before fitting day
- Empty the space we will be working in
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Tell us about parking near your home

TV and media units for homes in Marylebone
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Marylebone were built before 1919 (about 50%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 15%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Within a mile of the centre of Marylebone, 19 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. Purpose-built flats are home to about 75% of households in the area around Marylebone, based on Census 2021. 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.
Near listed buildings like Chandos House, under half a mile north-east of the centre of Marylebone, 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. The wider area includes historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House, about 0.3 miles south. If your own home is a period one, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.
Marylebone is part of the City of Westminster, about 1 mile south-west of City of Westminster. We cover Marylebone as part of our work across Westminster, and the process is the same everywhere we work. Across Westminster, we cover Marylebone, along with the rest of the borough.
Every home in W1U, W1T and W1K is covered for TV and media units, from the main roads to the quieter streets. You’ll find streets here like Park Lane, Duck Lane and Bruton Lane, and we cover homes on all of them for TV and media units. The A400 and A401 runs close to Marylebone; on busy main roads, unloading TV and media units takes a little planning. Close by, we also work in City of Westminster (1 mile south-west), Mayfair (1 mile south), Fitzrovia (1 mile north-east), Burlington Estate (1 mile south-east) and Soho (1 mile south-east). Elsewhere in Westminster, we also cover Victoria (2 miles south), Westbourne (2 miles west), Little Venice (2 miles west), Westbourne Green (2 miles west), Pimlico (2 miles south) and Maida Vale (2 miles west). As one of the bigger places in Westminster, Marylebone is covered for TV and media units and everything else we make.
Landmarks near Marylebone
In Marylebone, that includes homes near Royal Society of Medicine Library, The St Marylebone CofE School and The St Marylebone CofE School, among other places. There is a railway station in Marylebone itself: Bond Street station. Nearby you’ll also find Respiratory Clinical Trials (under half a mile north) and Montfichet's Tower (2 miles east). Not far away are St. James's Park Lake.
The problems TV and media units solve
Some have tried off-the-shelf units that never quite fitted. Standard TV stands rarely suit an awkward wall, and that’s where a bespoke unit helps.
TV and media units can help with:
- Space for a soundbar and speakers
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
- Standard units leaving gaps
- Equipment running hot in a closed cupboard
If your children go to St Vincent's Catholic Primary School or a school nearby, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- Have they thought about parking near you?
Pricing TV and media units in Marylebone
Several things affect the price:
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
The finish affects the cost: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
