TV and media units for homes in Maze Hill
A built-in TV wall often needs sockets in new places. That job is for your electrician, and some electrical work in homes falls under Part P of the Building Regulations. It’s best done before we fit, and we can tell you where the unit will sit. If your home has space for a soundbar and speakers and games, controllers and remotes everywhere, that is what TV and media units are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Internal walls in newer homes are usually plasterboard on metal or timber studs, and the board alone isn’t meant for heavy loads. Around Maze Hill, where many homes were built since 2000, that shapes how TV and media units are fixed: heavier pieces stand on the floor and are fixed back into the studs.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

Flats, leases and landlords
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it, once we have measured the way in.
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through.

TV and media units in Maze Hill: local notes
Homes built since 2000 make up about 44% of the housing in the streets around Maze Hill, with about 32% built before 1919, 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. Maze Hill is partly covered by a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. 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. Your council can advise if you are unsure. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. It applies to the vans that deliver and fit furniture in Maze Hill, as it does anywhere else in London. How the van gets to your door is planned at the design visit.
For families living near John Roan School, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place. If you live in a flat close to Maze Hill 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. Near listed buildings like Royal Observatory, less than half a mile south-west of the centre of Maze Hill, 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.
Maze Hill is about 3 miles east of Plumstead, part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Whether your home in Maze Hill is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. We cover places right across Greenwich, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
Here we cover the SE10, SE3 and E14 postcode area for TV and media units. If your home is on a street such as Webb Road, The Avenue and Hardy Road, or close by, we can arrange a design visit for TV and media units. Neighbouring places we cover for TV and media units include Greenwich (1 mile south-west), Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile south-east), Westcombe Park (1 mile east), Blackheath (1 mile south) and Isle of Dogs (1 mile north-west). Across the rest of Greenwich, our area takes in Plumstead (3 miles east), Eltham (3 miles south-east), Woolwich (3 miles east), Well Hall (3 miles south-east), Coldharbour (4 miles south-east) and Charlton (2 miles east).
Local landmarks in Maze Hill
The streets we cover here include those near Wildwood Montessori School, Meridian Primary School and The Plume of Feathers pub, among other places. Maze Hill has its own railway station: Maze Hill station. Other landmarks nearby include Greenwich Castle (close by, under half a mile south-west) and Greenwich District Hospital (less than half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Creekside Discovery Centre.
What affects the price in Maze Hill
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- The overall size of the piece
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- The number of doors and drawers
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside during the design visit, then set it out in the quote.
Helping us understand the room
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- What the furniture needs to hold
Getting a quote starts with some details: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of photos if you can take them. When you’re ready, message us from the contact page. We’ll then arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
Why bespoke in Maze Hill?
Standalone TV units cost less and arrive quickly. A stand is also simple to swap when technology moves on, which is a fair point in its favour. A built-in unit is planned for your room and your equipment. Large off-the-shelf pieces can make a small room feel smaller, while fitted furniture, painted in a colour that suits the walls, reads as part of the room.
Tricky rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, written once we have measured up.
What you get with us
- Made for your room, not a standard size
- Over 300 projects completed
- Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Work across the whole of London

Questions from Maze Hill
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character can need listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Maze Hill?
Yes. We cover all of Greenwich and the rest of London, and Maze Hill is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, followed by a quote.
Will my boxes get too hot inside the unit?
Equipment gives off heat, so it needs air around it. The unit is planned with open backs or gaps where boxes go, rather than sealing it in a cupboard. Once it is in, do not block the gaps.
Do you move sockets for a TV unit?
Electrical work is not something we do. Your electrician handles sockets and wiring. We share the layout so the sockets line up with the design.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Will the cables be hidden?
That’s the aim, and it is planned from the start. Access panels make future changes easy. For a wall-mounted TV, a route behind the screen is planned in.
What it’s made from
Shelves
Shelves are sized for the equipment and speakers they carry, with space around for air.
Birch plywood
Long shelves under a screen need to stay straight. Birch plywood, sized for the span, keeps it flat.
From workshop to your room
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it looks as though it was always there. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Fitting day starts by covering floors and setting out the sections. The pieces are levelled and fixed with fixings that suit the wall. Any hand painting can be finished on site.

Arranging a design visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. Afterwards, we send a written quote, so you can take your time with it. To arrange the visit, use our contact form.
