TV and media units for homes in Roehampton
Speakers need their own thought. A soundbar normally sits just below the TV, and larger speakers can go on open shelves either side. Closing speakers in a cupboard muffles them, so we leave open bays for them. Most enquiries start with boxes and consoles on the floor and somewhere to keep games tidy; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
A room in a house or flat from the 1950s or 1960s is typically plain, with flat walls, a simple skirting and no picture rail. Around Roehampton, many homes date from between 1945 and the early 1970s, which often leaves TV and media units with clean lines to follow. The furniture can then become the main feature of the room, in a paint colour you choose.
A quote in writing is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It sets out the TV unit designed for your room, its materials and its finish, and it is what the workshop builds to.

FAQs: TV and media units in Roehampton
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Roehampton?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. 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 at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
My home in Roehampton is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. TV and media units are built in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Who moves the sockets for a built-in TV wall?
Electrical work isn’t something we do. Your electrician handles sockets and wiring. We tell you where the unit will sit so the sockets end up in the right place.
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, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Roehampton
Open-plan living is another reason. A built-in unit gives that wall order.
TV and media units can help with:
- Wasted space around the screen
- Boxes with no ventilation
- Nowhere good for speakers
- Set-top boxes stacked on a stand
If your children go to Granard Primary School or a school nearby, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place.
Before you choose who makes it
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- Will the quote be in writing?
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
When is bespoke worth it?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
It’s worth being honest about cost: flat-pack is typically cheaper to buy. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.

TV and media units for homes in Roehampton
Homes built between 1945 and 1972 make up about 46% of the housing in the streets around Roehampton, with about 18% built between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Roehampton is partly covered by the Dover House Estate Conservation Area, according to Historic England’s records. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Your council can advise if you’re unsure. Controlled parking zones cover much of inner London, and each borough runs its own. In Roehampton, a van will usually need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, and the council arranges suspensions, often with notice. Parking is worth mentioning at the measuring visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Close to Putney Heath? TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear. Living in a block of flats near Barnes station? Then 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.

Tips worth knowing
A little care keeps the finish looking good. These practical tips help:
- Let us know about access early
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
- Think about whether you will upgrade the screen
- Look at what the equipment makers say about airflow
Use the access panels and cable routes when you add or change leads rather than drilling new holes. It keeps the unit tidy.
Do not stack boxes on top of each other in one space because heat builds up between them. Give each its own space.
Fitting day, step by step
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, which keeps the lines straight. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. In a post-war block of flats, the route in may include communal stairs, landings and a lift, so the furniture comes in sections that fit them. Tell us about any building rules on lifts or working hours at the measuring visit.
- You get in touch and list what the unit has to take: the screen, boxes, consoles and speakers.
- We visit to measure up, note where the sockets are and plan how the cables will run.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, leaving routes for cables and gaps for air.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
Before fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Empty the space we will be working in

What we do not do
Not everything around TV and media units is carpentry, from an electrician to a plumber or an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. Here is what to bear in mind:
- Taking out a fireplace or chimney breast
- Repairing plaster or redecorating
- Connecting and setting up your equipment
