How we make TV and media units for Merton Park
A built-in TV wall often needs sockets in new places. That job is for your electrician, and Part P of the Building Regulations covers some electrical work in homes. It’s best done before we fit so the sockets land in the right place. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the things people most often want solved are leads that show from every angle and speakers muffled behind doors.
A large share of the homes around Merton Park were built before 1919, which in London mostly means Victorian and Edwardian houses. Main rooms in houses like these normally have a chimney breast with an alcove on each side, which gives TV and media units an obvious place to go. Walls are rarely flat, so each piece is scribed to the plaster and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet, then cut neatly around the skirting and any picture rail or cornice.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

Do you need TV and media units in Merton Park?
Boxes, consoles and routers on the floor are a familiar sight. A unit gives every box its own space, with air to keep it cool.
Here are some of the needs we are asked about most:
- Equipment running hot in a closed cupboard
- A big screen that dominates the wall
- Leads that show from every angle
- Clutter around the TV
For a flat near South Merton station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.

Questions we are often asked
Can you fit TV and media units to the uneven walls of an older house in Merton Park?
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. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Older walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, and the fixings are chosen to suit.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to South Merton station?
Yes. We cover all of Merton and the rest of London. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with some details about the room.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. It depends on your lease, and some need consent for alterations. Your lease is something we can’t advise on.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can require listed building consent.
What if I buy a larger TV?
We can plan the opening with a bigger screen in mind, if you expect to upgrade. Tell us the size you might move to at the design visit.
How do I get started?
It’s easiest to message us from the contact page. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a written quote.
Living-room storage in Merton Park
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Merton Park were built before 1919 (about 47%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 29%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Within a mile of the centre of Merton Park, 13 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. TfL’s Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every part of London, Merton included. That includes the vans that bring and fit furniture in Merton Park. We go through parking and access during the design visit.
Close to Morden Hall Park? A room that looks out on trees deserves a design that leaves the window alone. Southside House, about 1.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
Merton Park is about 1 mile north-west of Wimbledon, in the London Borough of Merton. We can visit homes in Merton Park on weekdays, or on a Saturday by prior arrangement. Our Merton coverage includes Merton Park.
Here we cover the SW19, SW20 and SM4 postcode area for TV and media units.

Local landmarks in Merton Park
Around Merton Park, we cover homes near Rutlish School, Wibbas Down Inn and Wimbledon School of Art. Merton Park’s nearest station is South Merton station, roughly 0.5 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Wimbledon Museum (1.1 miles north-west) and St George's Hospital (1.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Merton Park Green Walks.
What affects the price in Merton Park
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- The overall size of the piece
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size comes first. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
What we need to know
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- How you want to use the space
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
To make a start, drop us a line using the contact form and let us know which room you have in mind and roughly what you’d like. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a written quote follows.
Flats, leases and landlords
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, as it makes good use of an awkward room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
How it is made
Doors and drawer fronts
Drawers keep controllers and games tidy. They’re painted in the same colour as the rest.
Spray-painted finish
Because it is sprayed before fitting, the unit comes painted. Treat it gently while the paint cures fully.
How fitting works for TV and media units
You are welcome to ask questions while we work. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving the room tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. In a period home, the furniture is fitted to walls that are not straight, so each piece is trimmed and adjusted on site. Floors are protected, and dust is kept down as far as possible. It helps to tell us about parking during the design visit, as terraced streets are often busy.
