TV and media units for homes in Slade Green
In many period living rooms, the chimney breast and its two alcoves shape the whole wall. The alcoves can take cupboards for equipment and shelves above, with the TV in one alcove or on the chimney breast. Any chimney vent is kept clear. If you’re living with speakers muffled behind doors and equipment with nowhere proper to go, TV and media units made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish can solve it.
Whether your home in Slade Green is a period house, an interwar semi, a post-war flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around your room rather than a standard size. Older rooms bring uneven walls and picture rails, while newer ones bring plasterboard walls and boxed-in pipes. We measure for whichever you have, and the pieces are made to suit.
A quote in writing follows the design visit. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Not every bought cabinet allows enough air for warm equipment. Ventilation is designed in where equipment sits, with open backs, gaps or vented doors. Off-the-shelf furniture is designed for no room in particular, whereas fitted pieces are designed for one room: yours. The finish is chosen to suit the space.
Parking is part of the price picture in London. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It is useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit.

Slade Green homes and TV and media units
Homes built between 1973 and 1999 make up about 27% of the housing in the streets around Slade Green, with about 27% built since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. The centre of Slade Green is within about a quarter of a mile of the Oak Road Conservation Area. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are largely about how buildings look from outside. If you’re unsure, check with the council before work starts. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. Where a home in Slade Green is on or beside a main road, it helps to mention that at the measuring visit. We’ll plan where the van can stop.
If you live in a flat close to Slade Green station, the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. Close to Braeburn Park? Shelving that stops short of the window keeps the view of the green.

How fitting day works
The last stage of the day is the finish. With a spray finish from the workshop, there is usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. For a flat, building rules and lift booking are worth checking early; for a house, steps, paths and parking are the things to mention. Either way, the day is planned at the measuring visit. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you.
- We send a written quote with the design, materials and finish.
- We build the unit in our workshop, with routes and ventilation planned in, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the unit goes in, is levelled and scribed, and the cable routes are left clear. A hand-painted finish is done on site, if you chose one.
Preparing the room
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Getting a quote
To get a quote, message us from the contact page and tell us a little about the room and roughly what you’d like. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
Advice
Caring for painted furniture
None of this takes much effort. Here’s what we suggest:
- Plan open spaces for anything controlled by a remote
- Talk to your electrician early about sockets
- Measure your TV, or the size you expect to buy next
- Decide where you will sit, so the screen height suits it
Cupboard doors may settle slightly with use. Hinges can typically be adjusted to line them up again.
Label cables when you set things up.
Questions we’re often asked
Do you cover homes near Slade Green station?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Slade Green?
Yes, Slade Green is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Bexley and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, and then we send a quote.
Can the TV be wall-mounted with a unit around it?
The unit can be planned either way. For a wall-mounted TV, the layout works around the bracket position or we size the top for a TV that stands on it.
How do you stop equipment overheating in a TV unit?
Equipment gives off heat, so it needs air around it. We design open backs, gaps or vents where it sits, rather than sealing it in a cupboard. Keep the vents clear once it is in use.
How do I get started?
It is easiest to get in touch through our contact form. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
Can you plan for a future TV?
We can size the opening for the screen you might buy next. It is useful to know the size you’re thinking of.
Why people ask for TV and media units in Slade Green
Open-plan living is another reason. A built-in unit gives that wall order and adds storage for the rest of the room.
Most of the enquiries we get are about needs like these:
- A big screen that dominates the wall
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
- Empty alcoves beside the TV
- Bought furniture that does not suit the room
The wider area includes historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.1 miles south-west. For a period home anywhere nearby, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
What to check before you book
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- A written quote that sets out the job
Flats, leases and landlords
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, finished by spray or by hand.
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t advise on your lease, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
