What affects the price in Tolworth
There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
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. Tell us about parking during the design visit.
Getting in touch
To give us a picture of the room, it’s useful to include:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Examples of the look you are after
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, once the room is measured and the design talked through. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.
How we make TV and media units for Tolworth
Everything starts with the screen. We plan the space around the TV you have, or the one you expect to buy, with a margin so it is not a tight squeeze. The height of the screen matters as well: it should suit where you sit, not just the wall. Most enquiries start with games, controllers and remotes everywhere and alcoves either side of the chimney breast going to waste, and the answer is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
A house from between the wars typically has lower ceilings than a Victorian one, and the proportions of TV and media units are set to match. Where your home is one of the interwar houses or semis that are a big part of the housing around Tolworth, there may be little or no cornice, which lets the furniture run straight up to the ceiling. The skirting is scribed around neatly.
The furniture is built in our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so you can check every detail beforehand.

FAQs: TV and media units in Tolworth
Is Tolworth in the area you cover for TV and media units?
Yes. Tolworth is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Kingston upon Thames and London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details.
I live near Tolworth station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
How do I get a quote for TV and media units in Tolworth?
Simply message us from the contact page. Rough sizes and a few photos help, and we’ll arrange a design visit, followed by a written quote.
How do you hide the TV cables?
Cable routes are built into the design. Where cables reach the wall depends on the sockets, so it helps to plan sockets with your electrician.
Can the TV be wall-mounted with a unit around it?
If the TV is wall-mounted, we design the unit around the bracket position, with a route for the cables. The bracket needs a sound wall.
Who moves the sockets for a built-in TV wall?
That’s a job for your electrician. Ideally it’s done before fitting.

Do you need TV and media units in Tolworth?
Families with consoles, games and controllers want them tidied away. Cupboards and drawers in the unit keep them in one place, and open shelves hold what’s used every day.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- Equipment running hot in a closed cupboard
- Games, controllers and remotes everywhere
- Nowhere good for speakers
- Boxes and consoles on the floor
The wider area includes historic houses such as Fitznells Manor, about 2.5 miles south-east. If your own home is a period one, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.

TV and media units for homes in Tolworth
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Tolworth were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 75%) and since 2000 (about 8%), 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. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. If your home in Tolworth is on or near a main road, tell us during the design visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload. Detached and semi-detached houses are home to about 63% of households in the neighbourhood around Tolworth, according to Census 2021. A house like that normally has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
Close to Hogsmill LNR? TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear. For a family home near Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School, low doors that small hands can open, with books and ornaments higher up, suit a busy family room.

How fitting works for TV and media units
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and fitting day is where that happens. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are usually straightforward, though we still measure the route in not just the room. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it is going, with floors protected throughout.
- You describe the TV wall and your equipment, from set-top boxes to speakers.
- A design visit follows, where we measure and agree the layout.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a quote in writing.
- Once you are happy, the unit is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable routes planned in.
- The unit is fitted in your home, ready for your equipment, with the cable routes left clear.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
Getting a quote
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and talk through the design with you, then send a quote in writing. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. To book a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Related advice
Is bespoke worth it?
An off-the-shelf TV stand is cheaper and quick to buy. A stand is also simple to swap when technology moves on. Bespoke units are made for one wall and the things you use. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, which shows up against standard furniture. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
There’s no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, discuss the design and then quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
