TV and media units designed for your room
How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up and take up the floor coverings. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and answer any questions. How long 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. Parking varies a lot across London, from permit zones to private bays, so let us know what applies at the measuring visit. If you live in a flat, any lift or building rules are worth checking too.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop, with routes and ventilation planned in.
- We fit it in your home, scribed to the walls and ready for your equipment. A hand-painted finish is done on site, if you chose one.
Before fitting day
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
How to get a quote
To make a start, tell us about the room on our 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.
Advice
TV and media units in North Hyde
Media equipment warms up as it runs, so sealing equipment in a cupboard isn’t a good idea. We plan ventilation into the unit, with open backs, gaps or vented doors where they’re needed. It is worth checking each maker’s guidance on clearances. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are a TV that looks out of place in the room and set-top boxes stacked on a stand.
Across London, neighbouring streets can be decades apart in age, so the walls behind TV and media units could be solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. We check what the walls are made of during the design visit, then choose the fixings. If your room has a chimney breast, the alcoves are an obvious place for TV and media units; if not, a full wall works well.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Living-room carpentry in North Hyde: local notes
About 29% of the homes in the streets around North Hyde went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 26% between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. The centre of North Hyde is within about a quarter of a mile of the Canalside Conservation Area. Planning controls in conservation areas are mainly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitting furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need permission. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. About 26% of homes in the streets around North Hyde were built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Post-war rooms tend to be simple shapes, often without a chimney breast, so TV and media units often run along a full wall, fixed to suit the wall, which may be concrete or block.
Living in a block of flats near Southall station? Then check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. For an older house near St Leonard's Church, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place. For a family home near Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place.
North Hyde is about 2 miles south-east of Hounslow, part of the London Borough of Hounslow. North Hyde is part of the area we cover. North Hyde is one of the places in Hounslow where we make TV and media units, and the borough has 25 places on our list.

You will find streets here like Lea Road, Fern Lane and Court Road, and homes on each of them are within our area for TV and media units.

When you need someone else
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. In practice, that means:
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
- Installing aerials, satellite dishes or broadband
- Painting the walls and ceiling
If in doubt, you can drop us a line using the contact form and describe the room. Our process from visit to fitting.

What affects the price in North Hyde
Several things affect the price:
- The width and height of the space
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The number of doors and drawers
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit.
Before the design visit
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you don’t, that’s fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we’ve measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Questions from North Hyde
Do you cover homes near Southall station?
Yes, homes across Hounslow and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with a few details about the room.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in North Hyde?
Yes, North Hyde is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Hounslow and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
How do I get a quote for TV and media units in North Hyde?
The first step is to use our contact form with a few details about the room. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It’s made in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. At the design visit, we measure the route not just the room.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours. Whichever finish you pick, it’s in the colour you have chosen.
Do pictures help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
Why bespoke in North Hyde?
Off-the-shelf TV units come in a few set colours. Ours are painted in a colour agreed with you, sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand. Standard widths and heights seldom suit an actual room, which leaves gaps at the sides and wasted space on top. Fitted furniture is made to the room.
Parking is part of the price picture in London. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It’s useful to talk about parking at the design visit, so it can be planned.
Why choose us
- Every London borough and the City of London covered
- Built in our workshop and fitted in your home
- Built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- We visit, measure and talk through the design before we quote

Looking after your furniture
The finish lasts best with a little care. These practical tips help:
- Let us know about access early
- Find out how much space each box needs around it
- Think about which things need to be seen by a remote
- Talk to your electrician early about sockets
Vents and equipment shelves gather dust, so clean them now and then. It keeps air moving.
Do not stack boxes on top of each other in one space, as they trap each other’s heat. Give each its own space.
