Why bespoke in Sidcup?
Bought units come in the maker’s finishes. We paint ours in the colour you choose, sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand. Big ready-made pieces can be tricky to carry up communal stairs, whereas fitted furniture is made in sections sized for the way in. The sections are joined once inside.
There is no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
What you get with us
- Saturday work by prior arrangement
- Edges scribed to follow your walls
- Built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Work across the whole of London

TV and media units in Sidcup: what you get
A built-in TV wall often needs sockets in new places. That’s work for your electrician. It’s best done before we fit. We make TV and media units from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the usual reasons to get in touch are boxes and consoles on the floor and a TV that looks out of place in the room.
In many houses from the 1950s and 1960s, the living room has a wide window and a plain chimney breast or none at all. Around Sidcup, many homes come from between 1945 and the early 1970s, and TV and media units can give a room like that a focus. Low cupboards with shelves over them can sit beside or below the window, leaving any radiator clear.
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.

TV and media units for homes in Sidcup
In the streets around Sidcup, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 30%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 20%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. That matters for TV and media units, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. 8 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of central Sidcup. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. About 30% of homes in the streets around Sidcup were built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. 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.
The wider area includes historic houses like Danson House, about 1.7 miles north. For a period home anywhere nearby, the alcoves beside a chimney breast are the natural place for TV and media units. If your children go to Birkbeck Primary School or a school nearby, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place. Close to Waring Park? Shelving that stops short of the window keeps the view of the green.
Sidcup is part of the London Borough of Bexley. Design visits and fitting in Sidcup can be on a Saturday, by arrangement. Our Bexley coverage includes Sidcup, along with the rest of the borough.
We cover every part of the DA14, DA15, SE9 and DA5 postcode area for TV and media units. Our area takes in homes on streets like Station Road, High Street and Jubilee Way, along with the roads around them, for TV and media units and any of our other fitted furniture. The A211 and A2001 run close to Sidcup; on busy main roads, unloading TV and media units takes a little planning. We also cover Albany Park (1 mile south), Blendon (1 mile north-east), Foots Cray (1 mile south-east), Bexley (2 miles north-east) and North Cray (2 miles east). Elsewhere in Bexley, we also cover Welling (2 miles north), Erith (4 miles north-east), Belvedere (4 miles north-east), Northumberland Heath (4 miles north-east), Lessness Heath (4 miles north-east) and Bexleyheath (2 miles north-east). Sidcup is one of the larger places we cover in Bexley.
Local landmarks in Sidcup
Around Sidcup, we cover homes near The Alma pub and Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School, among other places. There’s a railway station in Sidcup itself: Sidcup station. Nearby you’ll also find Queen Mary's Hospital (1 mile south) and Metropolitan Police Museum (a few minutes’ walk north-west).
How fitting day works
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. Next, we carry in the sections made at our workshop, one at a time. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Stairwells in post-war blocks can have tight turns, so sections are sized for both the stairs and any lift. Letting the caretaker or managing agent know beforehand helps. Common parts are protected while we carry in.
- You tell us about the room and what the unit needs to hold, from set-top boxes to speakers.
- We come to measure and talk through screen height, speakers and cables.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a written quote.
- We then make the unit in our workshop, with cable routes planned in.
- The unit is fitted in your home, ready for your equipment.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
How to get a quote
It helps to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, along with rough sizes. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.

Questions from Sidcup
Is parking a problem for fitting in Sidcup?
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 at the design visit.
Does a conservation area in or near Sidcup affect fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Can I send photos ahead of the visit?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. To send them, send us a few details through our contact form.
Do you work outside London?
No. Our work is in London only: every London borough and the City of London.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
We plan the route in at the measuring visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Sidcup?
Yes, we do. We design and make TV and media units for homes in Sidcup, and the process is the same everywhere we go.

Flats, conversions and lettings
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, as it makes good use of an tricky room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you contact us.
What it costs
Prices vary from room to room, for these reasons:
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The number of doors and drawers
Access to the room makes a difference too. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, which the quote allows for. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit.
Before the design visit
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. It’s enough to send:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Your postcode and the borough
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
