How fitting day works
You’re 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. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Clearing the room and the way in beforehand makes the day easier, including anything on the walls near the work. We cover floors and doorways first. Sections are then carried in and assembled.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- We visit to measure and discuss the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- You get a written quote covering the design, the materials and the finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray-painted finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, and any hand painting is done in the room.
Preparing the room
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
Arranging a design visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing for you to look over. To book one, send us a few details through our contact form.
Advice
TV and media units in Sipson: what you get
A built-in TV wall often needs sockets in new places, like behind the screen or in the equipment cupboard. That is work for your electrician. Ideally it’s done before the unit goes in so the sockets land in the right place. People normally come to us about a tangle of wires behind the TV and a big screen that dominates the wall; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
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. With a chimney breast, TV and media units normally fill the alcoves; without one, they can run along a whole wall.
Everything we agree during the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

When is bespoke worth it?
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
What TV and media units can’t fix
It is useful to know what’s outside our work before you plan:
- Connecting the TV signal or internet
- Setting up and tuning the TV, boxes and speakers
- Repairing plaster or redecorating
If in doubt, you can use our contact form and describe the room. How a job runs, step by step.
What it’s made from
- Ventilated cabinets
- Birch plywood
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Hand-painted finish
- Spray-painted finish
- Cable routes
Flats, blocks and rented homes
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Tell us about them at the design visit.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Tell us about it when you contact us.
FAQs: TV and media units in Sipson
Is Sipson in the area you cover for TV and media units?
Yes, Sipson is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Hillingdon 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.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Sipson?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
How much will my TV unit cost?
Size, doors and drawers, what goes inside and the finish all affect it. The price comes in a written quote after the design visit.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, and furniture inside a house does not normally need it. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
My walls aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
Walls and floors that are not true are part of the job in older homes. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
The furniture is built in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. That’s why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the measuring visit.
Boards, parts and paint
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribing trims the edges on site to follow the wall.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, which suits shelves for heavy speakers and amplifiers.
Living-room carpentry in Sipson: local notes
About 34% of the homes in the area around Sipson went up since 2000, and about 27% between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Near the centre of Sipson, Historic England’s list includes The King William IV Public House (Grade II), about 0.5 miles south-west, and Lanz Farmhouse (Grade II), about 0.5 miles south-west. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling can require listed building consent. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. About 26% of homes in the neighbourhood around Sipson were built between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Rooms from that era are often squarer, with fewer alcoves and sometimes no chimney breast, so TV and media units often run along a full wall, fixed to suit the wall, which may be concrete or block.
Close to Lake Farm Country Park? TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear. For families living near Cherry Lane Primary School, low doors that small hands can open, with books and ornaments higher up, suit a busy family room. For an older house near Christ Church, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.
