How we make TV and media units for New Charlton
If the TV is wall-mounted, we plan the panels and shelves around the bracket position, with a route for the cables behind the screen. If it stands on the unit, we size the top to suit. We make TV and media units from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the things people most often want solved are standard units leaving gaps and a tangle of wires behind the TV.
You might live in a Victorian terrace, a 1930s semi, a mansion block or a recent flat, and your home in New Charlton could be any one of them. Each brings different walls and floors, so the design of TV and media units starts with a look at what you have. A period house may need scribing to bowed walls, while a newer flat may need fixings for plasterboard.
The furniture is made in our workshop after you’ve had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, often to make the most of a small or awkward room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it, after measuring the route during the design visit.
The problems TV and media units solve
A new, larger TV often prompts it. The old stand no longer suits it, or the screen takes over the room. Shelves and cupboards around the screen make it sit better in the room.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A tangle of wires behind the TV
- Games, controllers and remotes everywhere
- A big screen that dominates the wall
- Set-top boxes stacked on a stand
The wider area includes historic houses such as Queen's House, about 1.8 miles west. If your own home is a period one, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- How doors and drawers are fitted
How we price TV and media units
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- The overall size of the piece
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, which we write after seeing the room.
Helping us understand the room
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- How you want to use the space
A quote begins with a few details from you: the room, rough measurements and some photos if you have them. To send them, fill in our short enquiry form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a quote in writing.
TV and media units in New Charlton: local notes
In the streets around New Charlton, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 34%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 29%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of New Charlton include Church of St Luke (Grade II*), about 0.6 miles south, and Church of St Thomas (Grade II), about 0.5 miles east. For a listed home, works inside that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for example removing or fixing into original panelling. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. About 29% of homes in the streets around New Charlton were built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Rooms from that era are often squarer, with fewer alcoves and sometimes no chimney breast, so a full wall of TV and media units is often the answer, fixed to suit the wall, which may be concrete or block.
Living in a block of flats near Charlton station? Then the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. If you live near Thames Barrier Park, a room that looks out on trees deserves a design that leaves the window alone.

Fitting day, step by step
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and fitting day is where that happens. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, until the line is tight. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you live in a block, check any rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours; if you live in a house, let us know about steps, paths and parking. We plan the details of the day at the measuring visit. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.

Practical tips
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Look at what the equipment makers say about airflow
- Think about which things need to be seen by a remote
- Talk to your electrician early about sockets
- Decide where you’ll sit, so the screen height suits it
When you change equipment, use the cable routes we planned rather than drilling new holes. It keeps the unit tidy.
Label cables when you set things up.
Questions we’re often asked
Do you cover homes near Charlton station?
Yes. We cover all of Greenwich and the rest of London. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in New Charlton?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It helps to tell us about parking during the design visit.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It’s made in sections, sized for the route not just the room. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the design visit.
How do I get a quote?
It is easiest to drop us a line using the contact form and let us know about the room. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
Can you build a TV unit for a wall-mounted TV?
The unit can be planned either way. For a wall-mounted TV, the layout works around the bracket position, and if it stands on the unit we size the top for it.
What finishes do you offer?
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.
