How we make TV and media units for Walham Green
Speakers need their own thought. A soundbar normally sits just below the TV. Closing speakers in a cupboard muffles them. If you’re living with a cabinet that traps heat and leads that show from every angle, that’s what TV and media units are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a house from the Victorian or Edwardian years, the front room usually keeps its chimney breast even where the fireplace has gone. Around Walham Green, where a large share of homes date from before 1919, that is a common starting point. TV and media units built into the recesses either side are scribed to the plaster and cut around the skirting.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that is spray painting or hand painting.

Questions we are often asked
Will a conservation area stop me having TV and media units fitted in Walham Green?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, internal works that affect its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Walham Green?
Yes, Walham Green is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Hammersmith and Fulham and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, followed by a quote.
What if I buy a larger TV?
The space can be sized for a larger TV so the unit suits your next set. Mention the largest screen you might buy when we visit.
Is there room for a soundbar?
Speakers sound better in the open than shut in a cupboard. A soundbar can sit on a shelf below the screen. Tell us the speaker sizes when we visit.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you contact us.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
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. Off-the-shelf furniture can’t typically do that in an older room.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there’s often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Looking after your furniture
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after with a little care. These habits help most:
- Think about whether you will upgrade the screen
- Look at what the equipment makers say about airflow
- Talk to your electrician early about sockets
- Count your equipment, including routers and consoles
When you change equipment, use the cable routes we planned. It keeps the unit tidy.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves.
TV and media units for homes in Walham Green
Homes built before 1919 make up about 54% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Walham Green, with about 21% built since 2000, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Near the centre of Walham Green, Historic England’s list includes Sandford Manor House (Grade II*), less than half a mile east, and Gasholder No 2 (Grade II*), under half a mile east. Listing covers the inside of a building as well as the outside, so works that affect a listed home’s character, like removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. More than half of the homes in the neighbourhood around Walham Green (about 54%) were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Older houses normally have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit a TV in the middle and media storage either side.
If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St John, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at. If you live in a flat close to Imperial Wharf station, TV and media units are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. The wider area includes historic houses like Carlyle's House, about 1 mile north-east. If your own home is a period one, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.

What goes into it
- Ventilated cabinets
- Hand-painted finish
- Spray-painted finish
- Cable routes
- Birch plywood
- Moisture-resistant MDF
Flats, blocks and rented homes
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, once we’ve measured the way in.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so let us know about it during the design visit.

What else we make in Walham Green
What happens on fitting day
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. On fitting day in an older house, the main job is scribing to walls and levelling on floors that slope, so there is some trimming and adjusting on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. It helps to tell us about parking at the design visit, as terraced streets are often busy.
- You get in touch about a built-in TV unit.
- We visit to measure and go through the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- A written quote follows, with the finish set out.
- 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.
- We fit it in your home; a hand-painted finish is applied once it is in and is easy to touch up later. Go gently with new paintwork while it cures.
Preparing the room
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Let us know about parking near your home
