TV and media units for your home in Wennington
Looking after your furniture
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Plan open spaces for anything controlled by a remote
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
- Think about the viewing height from your sofa
- Check each box’s guidance on ventilation and clearances
Vents and equipment shelves gather dust, so clean them now and then. It keeps air moving.
Don’t stack boxes on top of each other in one space because heat builds up between them. Each one needs space around it.
How we make TV and media units for Wennington
We make TV and media units from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood in our workshop. The finish is spray painted in the workshop or hand painted, in a colour agreed with you. We fit across Havering and the rest of London, after a design visit and a written quote. If your home has leads that show from every angle and set-top boxes stacked on a stand, that is what TV and media units are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
A house from between the wars usually has lower ceilings than a Victorian one, so TV and media units are proportioned to the room rather than copied from a taller one. Where your home is one of the interwar houses or semis that are a big part of the housing around Wennington, there may be little or no cornice, which lets the furniture run straight up to the ceiling. Any skirting is cut around neatly.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.

What else we make in Wennington
From workshop to your room
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made in our workshop come in next, a piece at a time. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Clearing the room and the way in beforehand helps the day run well. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- We visit to measure and discuss the design and how the unit should look in the room.
- A quote in writing follows, with the finish set out.
- The unit is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which takes paint well, and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home; a hand-painted finish is applied once it is in and is easy to touch up later.
How to prepare
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Flats, conversions and lettings
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so tell us about it at the design visit.
Living-room storage in Wennington
About 47% of the homes in the area around Wennington went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 22% between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Near the centre of Wennington, Historic England’s list includes Church of St Mary and St Peter (Grade II*), under half a mile west, and Lennard Arms Inn (Grade II), under half a mile east. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, like fixing into original panelling. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Terraced houses are home to about 37% of households in the streets around Wennington, based on Census 2021. Many London terraces have a chimney breast and alcoves in the main rooms, and TV and media units are made to those widths.
For an older house near St Mary and St Peter's Church, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place. If your children go to Brady Primary School or a school nearby, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design. Rainham Hall, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at.
Wennington is about 5 miles north of Romford, part of the London Borough of Havering.

Your questions about TV and media units in Wennington
Is parking a problem for fitting in Wennington?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to tell us about parking at the measuring visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Wennington?
Yes, we work across Havering, Wennington included, and across the rest of London. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do photos help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you’ve chosen.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to let us in. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
