TV and media units in Shooter's Hill
Why people ask for TV and media units in Shooter's Hill
The most common reason is a mess of wires. Leads trail from the TV to the boxes, the sockets and the speakers, and no stand ever quite hides them. Built-in units give cables somewhere to go.
Here are some of the needs we are asked about most:
- Equipment running hot in a closed cupboard
- A screen at the wrong height
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
- Speakers muffled behind doors
If you live near Eaglesfield Park, shelving that stops short of the window keeps the view of the green.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- A written quote that sets out the job
TV and media units for homes in Shooter's Hill
If the TV is wall-mounted, we plan the panels and shelves around the bracket position. If the TV stands on the unit instead, the top is sized and positioned for it, with the cables kept out of sight. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the usual reasons to get in touch are cables trailing across the wall and a screen at the wrong height.
A good part of the housing around Shooter's Hill is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the front room may have a bay window at one end and a chimney breast on the side wall, which decides where TV and media units sit. Walls in houses of that age are usually straighter than in Victorian ones, though they’re still checked and scribed where needed.
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 every detail can be checked first.

From workshop to your room
You are welcome to ask questions while we work. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully and leaving the room tidy. How long 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. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- You let us know about the room and what the unit needs to hold.
- We come to measure and talk through screen height, speakers and cables.
- A written quote follows.
- We then make the unit in our workshop.
- The unit is fitted in your home, ready for your equipment, with the cable routes left clear.
Before fitting day
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture

Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit. To arrange a visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
Advice
Living-room storage in Shooter's Hill
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 53% of the housing in the area around Shooter's Hill, with about 27% built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Shooter's Hill include The Bull Public House (Grade II), less than half a mile north-west, and Water Tower at East Side of Junction (Grade II), less than half a mile east. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. About 41% of households in the neighbourhood around Shooter's Hill live in terraced houses, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. Terraced houses in London often have alcoves beside a chimney breast, which suit TV and media units built to their exact widths.
If your home is one of the older houses near Christ Church, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place. The wider area includes historic houses like Eltham Palace, about 1.7 miles south-west. For a period home anywhere nearby, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.
Shooter's Hill is part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, about 1 mile north-east of Plumstead. Anywhere in Shooter's Hill, it works the same way: we visit and measure, send a quote in writing, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it. We cover places right across Greenwich, large and small.
In SE18, SE9 and DA16, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. Our area takes in homes on streets like Brent Road, Dover Road and Kinlet Road, whether you want TV and media units or another piece made for the room. Neighbouring places we cover for TV and media units include Kidbrooke (1 mile west), Well Hall (1 mile south-west), East Wickham (1 mile east), Avery Hill (1 mile south) and Plumstead (1 mile north-east). Other parts of Greenwich we cover include Greenwich (3 miles west), Eltham (2 miles south), Westcombe Park (2 miles north-west), Maze Hill (3 miles west), Coldharbour (3 miles south) and Charlton (2 miles north-west).
Around Shooter's Hill
The streets we cover here include those near The Bull Public House and Deansfield Primary School and the streets around them.

Not far away are Birdbrook Road Nature Reserve.
Questions we are often asked
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Shooter's Hill?
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. It helps to let us know about parking at the design visit.
I live near Falconwood station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Greenwich and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
How long does it take to fit a TV unit?
The fitting depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. The making happens in our workshop.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
How do you stop equipment overheating in a TV unit?
Ventilation is designed in wherever equipment sits, using open backs, gaps or vented doors. We give each box its own space, and it’s worth checking the maker’s guidance on clearances.
Who moves the sockets for a built-in TV wall?
Your electrician does that. It’s best done before the unit goes in and we design the cable routes around the sockets.
Honest limits
We’d rather be clear about where our work stops:
- New sockets behind the TV, which need an electrician
- Painting the walls and ceiling
- Configuring the TV and sound system
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can tell us about the room on our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.

What affects the cost of TV and media units
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Parking near your home
Tricky rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That is reflected in the quote, written once we’ve measured up.
Getting in touch
Getting some details early makes the visit more useful. Where you can, include:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Where you live, with the postcode
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, particularly with rough measurements. To send them over, get in touch through our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
Flats, leases and landlords
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Tell us about it when you get in touch.
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations. We cannot give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
