How we make TV and media units for Tottenham Green
Hiding the cables is often the main aim. Cable routes are built into the design from the start, with openings and removable panels so you can add or swap leads later. The routes are ours, while any wiring is for your electrician. We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about somewhere to keep games tidy and a big screen that dominates the wall.
Older houses tend to come with picture rails, tall skirtings and cornices, and they set the lines that TV and media units have to meet. Homes built before 1919 make up a large share of the housing around Tottenham Green, so those details are worth looking at closely during the design visit. The top of the furniture can stop at the picture rail or carry on to the cornice, whichever suits the room.
Where other trades are needed, for instance an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

How we price TV and media units
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- The overall size of the piece
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
What to send when you contact us
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a written quote. To arrange the visit, use our contact form.

TV and media units in Tottenham Green: local notes
Homes built before 1919 make up about 47% of the housing in the area around Tottenham Green, with about 19% built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. There are 20 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Tottenham Green. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. Controlled parking zones are run by the boroughs, so the rules in Haringey are set locally. Depending on your street in Tottenham Green, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a council bay suspension may be needed. We ask about parking at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Near listed buildings like Parish Church of St Ann, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre of Tottenham Green, older homes may keep original joinery that TV and media units can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent. For an older house near Church of Holy Trinity, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at. For a flat near Seven Sisters station, it’s useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.

Could you do it yourself?
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there’s usually a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
FAQs: TV and media units in Tottenham Green
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Tottenham Green?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It is useful to let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Does a conservation area in or near Tottenham Green affect fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Does the unit work if the TV is on a bracket?
Where the TV is to be wall-mounted, we plan the unit around the bracket and the cable route behind it. The bracket needs a sound wall so we check the wall at the measuring visit.
How do I get a quote?
It is easiest to get in touch through our contact form and let us know about the room. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Tottenham Green?
Yes. We cover Tottenham Green and the rest of Haringey. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
What it is made from
Plinths and scribe strips
Period walls usually need scribing. It is what gives the unit its built-in look.
Doors and drawer fronts
Many remote controls need a clear view of the box, so we may leave those shelves open.
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 the day itself is about careful fitting 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. Scribing is done on site, which means some cutting in the room or close by, so a clear area to work in near the room helps. Dust is kept down and cleared up as we go. Hand painting, if that’s your finish, can follow the fitting.
- You let us know about the room and what the unit needs to hold, 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.
- We then make the unit in our workshop, with cable routes planned in.
- We bring it to your home and fit it in place, with the cable routes left clear.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
How to get a quote
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. For a quote, send us a few details through our contact form.

Practical tips
None of this takes much effort. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us about parking and access during the design visit
- Think about which things need to be seen by a remote
- Think about whether you will upgrade the screen
- Decide whether the TV will be wall-mounted or stand on the unit
Clean the paintwork with a soft cloth that’s barely damp. Skip scouring pads and harsh cleaners.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves, with the weight spread across shelves.
