TV and media units in Palmers Green: what you get
Built-in TV and media units bring the screen, set-top boxes, speakers and cables together in one piece of furniture. Instead of a stand, a tangle of wires and a few odd shelves, the whole wall is designed at once. For a living room in Palmers Green, the first step is a design visit to measure up and look at your equipment. We make TV and media units from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are boxes with no ventilation and space for a soundbar and speakers.
With a large share of homes around Palmers Green built before 1919, the living room is often two rooms knocked through, with a chimney breast in each half. That can mean one pair of alcoves for shelving and the other for low cupboards, with the screen on a chimney breast between. Some internal walls in houses of that age are lath and plaster, so fixings are chosen to suit what’s behind the paint.
Our quotes are written in plain words, without jargon. They say what will be made, what it’s made from and how it will be finished, all taken from the design visit.

Palmers Green homes and TV and media units
About 49% of the homes in the area around Palmers Green went up before 1919, and about 30% between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how TV and media units are fixed and fitted. Palmers Green is partly covered by a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. Conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Enfield is no exception. If parking near you is controlled, a visitor permit or a bay suspension may be needed, and the council arranges suspensions, often with notice. We ask about parking at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Living in a block of flats near Palmers Green station? Then the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. If you live near Broomfield Park, TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear. Near listed buildings like Broomfield House Broomfield Park, less than half a mile west of the centre of Palmers Green, older homes may keep original joinery that TV and media units can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.

Tips worth knowing
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after. These habits help most:
- Think about whether you’ll upgrade the screen
- Think about whether you want the screen on a bracket or on a shelf
- Book your electrician first if sockets need to move
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
Use the access panels and cable routes when you add or change leads rather than drilling new holes. It keeps the unit tidy.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves.
Boards, parts and paint
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting lets you see the colour in the room’s own light. Joins and scribed edges are painted at the same time.
Shelves
Open shelves suit speakers and things you want on show, while cupboards hide the rest.
Where other trades come in
We’d rather be clear about where our work stops:
- Setting up and tuning the TV, boxes and speakers
- Plastering or decorating around the unit
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician

From workshop to your room
You will not need to do much on the day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and it helps to have the room cleared beforehand, as we will have talked about at the measuring visit. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. 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. Hallways in period houses are often narrow, and the stairs turn sharply, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route in. Floors and stair carpets are protected on the way in and out.
- It starts with a short note from you about the TV wall.
- At the design visit we measure the wall and also the hall, stairs and doorways the unit has to pass through.
- A written quote follows, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we make the unit in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The sections are carried in, assembled and set level, ready for your equipment. The finish is sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Preparing the room
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
Ask for a quote
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we have measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Advice
Questions we’re often asked
Is parking a problem for fitting in Palmers Green?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run 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. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in Palmers Green?
Yes, Palmers Green is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Enfield 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 long are you in the house for fitting?
The time on site depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. We will explain what fitting day involves before we start.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room, but it helps to be around at the end.
How is the price worked out?
Every job is priced for its room: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. The written quote follows the design visit.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Let us know when you first get in touch.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standalone TV units cost less and arrive quickly. A stand is also simple to swap when technology moves on. Bespoke units are made for one wall and the things you use. Standard furniture is drawn for modern rooms, so its proportions can look odd in a tall period room, whereas fitted pieces can pick up the room’s height and mouldings, with panels and details to suit the house.
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It helps to talk about parking at the design visit, so we can plan for it.
