TV and media units in Vauxhall: what you get
Cables are the part most people want to hide. We plan cable routes through the unit 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. Most enquiries start with bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room and set-top boxes stacked on a stand; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Homes built since 2000 are often open-plan, with the kitchen, dining and living space in one room, and around Vauxhall many homes date from those years. TV and media units can give the sitting end of an open-plan room its own identity, without putting up a wall. Floors are protected throughout, as newer finishes mark easily.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

Common questions about TV and media units
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Vauxhall?
Yes. Vauxhall is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Lambeth and London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
My home in Vauxhall is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in not just the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. TV and media units are built in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Can the TV be wall-mounted with a unit around it?
We can plan for either a wall-mounted TV or one standing on the unit. If the TV is wall-mounted, panels and shelves are arranged around the bracket and cables.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You do not need to watch us work, but it helps to be around at the end.
What affects the price of TV and media units?
Every job is priced for its room: size, internal fittings, the finish and how awkward the walls are all play a part. The written quote follows the design visit.
How we price TV and media units
The price for your room depends on:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How big the furniture is
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size is the starting point. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
Before the design visit
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Examples of the look you are after
- The type of home and how the room is reached
A quote begins with some details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, message us from the contact page. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a quote in writing.

Why people ask for TV and media units in Vauxhall
Equipment on the floor is another reason. A unit gives every box its own space, with air to keep it cool, and keeps the floor clear.
We are often asked to help with:
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
- Leads that show from every angle
- A cabinet that traps heat
- Somewhere to keep games tidy
Close to Old Paradise Gardens? A room that looks out on trees deserves a design that leaves the window alone.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
From workshop to your room
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. How long 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. Newer developments sometimes have their own parking and loading rules, so it is useful to let us know during the design visit. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturdays can be arranged.
- You get in touch and list what the unit has to take: the screen, boxes, consoles and speakers.
- We visit to measure up, note where the sockets are and plan how the cables will run. If you need new sockets, your electrician should do that before fitting.
- A written quote follows for the unit.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with cable openings and vents cut in.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish and the routes left clear.
Preparing the room
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about parking near your home
- Empty the space we’ll be working in

Flat-pack or bespoke?
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths.
TV and media units in Vauxhall: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Vauxhall were built since 2000 (about 36%) and before 1919 (about 21%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Near the centre of Vauxhall, Historic England’s list includes Woodstock Court (Grade II*), less than half a mile east, and Church of St Peter (Grade II*), under half a mile south. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for instance removing original joinery or fixing into it, can require listed building consent from the council. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Controlled parking zones cover much of inner London, and each borough runs its own. A van working in Vauxhall will usually need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension arranged through the council, which often needs notice. We ask about parking at the design visit, so the van can be planned for.
For a family home near Vauxhall Primary School, low doors that small hands can open, with books and ornaments higher up, suit a busy family room. If you live in a flat close to Vauxhall station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
Vauxhall is about 2 miles south of Stockwell, in the London Borough of Lambeth. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Vauxhall included. We cover places right across Lambeth.
We work across the SE11, SW1P and SW8 postcode area. If your home is on a street such as Gibson Road, Langley Lane and Randall Road, or close by, we can visit to measure up for TV and media units. Main roads around Vauxhall include the A3203 and A3204. If your home is on one of them, tell us during the design visit, as some main roads have strict stopping rules. Nearby, we also make TV and media units in Lambeth (1 mile north), Kennington (1 mile south), Oval (1 mile south), Newington Butts (1 mile east) and St George's Fields (1 mile north-east). We also make TV and media units in nearby places such as Stockwell (2 miles south), Streatham (4 miles south), West Norwood (4 miles south), Clapham (2 miles south-west), Brixton (2 miles south) and Loughborough Junction (2 miles south-east).
Around Vauxhall
We fit furniture in homes around The Jolly Gardeners pub, Lambeth School of Art and Lambeth Palace Library and the streets around them. Vauxhall has its own railway station: Vauxhall station. Other landmarks nearby include Newport Street Gallery (close by, under half a mile north-east) and Baynard's Castle (1.7 miles north-east). Open spaces near Vauxhall include St. James's Park Lake.
Is bespoke worth it?
Bespoke furniture takes longer than buying from a shop: there’s a design visit, a quote and making time. For a short stay, a standalone stand can make more sense. Big standalone units can dominate a compact room, while fitted furniture, painted in a colour that suits the walls, reads as part of the room.
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside.
