TV and media units for homes in West Twyford
A built-in TV wall often needs sockets in new places, behind the screen or inside a cupboard. That job is for your electrician. Ideally it’s done before the unit goes in, and we can tell you where the unit will sit. Typical reasons to get in touch are a big screen that dominates the wall and clutter around the TV, and the answer is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
A good part of the housing around West Twyford is interwar, semi-detached or detached. In a typical 1930s house, the front room has a bay at one end and a chimney breast with an alcove to either side, which decides where TV and media units sit. Walls in houses of that age are typically straighter than in Victorian ones, though they’re still checked and scribed where needed.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

Living-room carpentry in West Twyford: local notes
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 49% of the housing in the neighbourhood around West Twyford, with about 19% built between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (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. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of West Twyford include Church of St Mary (Grade II), less than half a mile north-west, and Park Royal London Regional Transport Station (Grade II), under half a mile south. For a listed home, internal works that affect its character can require listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. Purpose-built flats are home to about 46% of households in the streets around West Twyford, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. For a flat, TV and media units are made in sections sized for the stairs, the lift and the doors. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Pitzhanger Manor, about 1.8 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, picture rails and cornices give TV and media units a line to finish at. If your children go to West Twyford Primary School or a school nearby, a cupboard for board games and a shelf for reading books can go into the same design.
West Twyford is about 2 miles south-west of Ealing, in the London Borough of Ealing. We can visit homes in West Twyford on weekdays, or on a Saturday by prior arrangement. Our work takes in places right across Ealing.

Fitting day, step by step
You’re welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made at the design visit and set out in your quote, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully and leaving the room tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the TV wall and what it needs to hold, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Interwar houses typically have a straight run of stairs and a reasonable hallway, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it’s going.
- You send us a note about the room and the unit you’d like.
- At the design visit we agree the layout and talk about colour and finish.
- A quote in writing follows, with the finish set out.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which takes paint well, and birch plywood.
- The unit is fitted and scribed to the walls, and any hand painting is done in the room.
Before we arrive
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
Arranging a design visit
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, along with rough measurements. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.

Do you need TV and media units in West Twyford?
Others are tired of furniture that doesn’t fit. Bought units seldom suit an alcove, a slope or an uneven wall, and a bespoke unit is made for the space.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- A TV that looks out of place in the room
- Nowhere good for speakers
- Boxes with no ventilation
- Cables trailing across the wall
For a flat near Stonebridge Park 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.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
FAQs: TV and media units in West Twyford
Will a conservation area stop me having TV and media units fitted in West Twyford?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Do you make TV and media units for homes in West Twyford?
Yes, West Twyford is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Ealing and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, and then we send a quote.
Should I send photos?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
How do I get a quote?
The first step is to send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
Can you build a TV unit for a wall-mounted TV?
If the TV is wall-mounted, we design the unit around the bracket position. The bracket needs a sound wall, which we look at during the design visit.
Is bespoke worth it?
Standalone TV units cost less and arrive quickly. A stand is also simple to swap when technology moves on, which is a fair point in its favour. A built-in unit is planned for your room and your equipment. Bays, box rooms and stair bulkheads are where off-the-shelf furniture struggles most, and those are common in interwar houses. Built-in pieces are designed to fit them.
Awkward rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That’s reflected in the quote, which we write after seeing the room.
Why us?
- Made in moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Saturday visits and fitting by arrangement
- Over 300 projects completed
- Fitted tight to walls that are not straight

What it costs
Prices vary from room to room, for these reasons:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- The internal fittings
- Doors and drawers, and how many
How it is painted is part of the price: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Helping us understand the room
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. It is useful to include:
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Examples of the look you’re after
Rough sizes are fine at the start. Everything is measured properly when we visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To get started, get in touch through our contact form. You receive a quote in writing after the visit.
Practical tips
The finish lasts best with a little care. These practical tips help:
- Note which boxes need line of sight for their remotes
- Choose how the TV will sit before the design is finished
- Think about whether you will upgrade the screen
- Book your electrician first if sockets need to move
Vents and equipment shelves gather dust, so a quick clean now and then helps. Clear vents keep equipment cooler.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves, with the weight spread across shelves.
