When is bespoke worth it?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
TV and media units for homes in Wimbledon Park
Where the TV will be wall-mounted, the unit is designed around where the bracket goes and the cable route behind it. If the TV stands on the unit instead, the top is sized and positioned for it, with the cables kept out of sight. If your home has boxes with no ventilation and space for a soundbar and speakers, that’s what TV and media units are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Ceiling heights across London vary a lot, from tall period rooms to compact modern ones. However your room in Wimbledon Park is built, the height is measured as carefully as the width, since it sets how tall TV and media units can be. Sections are sized for the stairs and doors on the way in.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it’s easier before the furniture is made.

From workshop to your room
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, then checked again. The time 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. It helps to clear the room and the route in before fitting day, including anything on the walls near the work. Floors and doorways are protected before anything comes in. Sections are then carried in and assembled.
- It starts with a short note from you about the TV wall.
- At the design visit we measure the wall and also the hall, stairs and doorways the unit has to pass through.
- We send a quote in writing.
- The unit is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections that fit the route in.
- The sections are carried in, assembled and set level, ready for your equipment. The finish is sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Before fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall

Wimbledon Park homes and TV and media units
Homes built before 1919 make up about 42% of the housing in the streets around Wimbledon Park, with about 19% built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Wimbledon Park include The Old Rectory House (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south, and Parish Church of St Mary (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling can require listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. About 43% of households around Wimbledon Park live in purpose-built flats, well above the figure for Merton as a whole, about 28%, based on Census 2021. That puts the stairs, lifts and doors on the route in at the centre of the plan.
Close to King George's Park? TV and media units can be arranged to keep the window and the light clear. Southside House, about 1.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.
Wimbledon Park is in the London Borough of Merton, about 1 mile south of Wimbledon. We design and make TV and media units for homes in Wimbledon Park, as part of our work in every London borough. We list Wimbledon Park among 20 places we cover in Merton.
Design visits and fitting in SW19 and SW18 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If your home is on a street like Dora Road, Church Road and Arthur Road, or close by, we can visit to measure up for TV and media units. Main roads around Wimbledon Park include the A218. If your home is on one of them, tell us during the design visit, as some main roads have strict stopping rules. Other places close to Wimbledon Park include Wimbledon (1 mile south), Crooked Billet (1 mile south-west), Copse Hill (2 miles south-west), Merton Park (2 miles south) and Wimbledon Chase (2 miles south). Across the rest of Merton, our area takes in Colliers Wood (2 miles south-east), Morden (3 miles south), Eastfields (3 miles south-east), Merton Abbey (2 miles south-east), Bushey Mead (2 miles south) and Mitcham (3 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Wimbledon Park
We fit furniture in homes around Ricards Lodge High School, Leather Bottle pub and Linden Lodge School. The nearest railway station is Earlsfield station, roughly 1 mile north-east of the centre. A little further out are Southside Wandsworth (1.4 miles north-east) and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum (under half a mile west). Not far away are Wandle Meadow Nature Park and Henman Hill.
Tips worth knowing
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Choose how the TV will sit before the design is finished
- Decide where you will sit, so the screen height suits it
- Mention parking and stairs when we visit
- List every box, console and speaker that needs a home
Vents and equipment shelves gather dust, so clean them now and then. It keeps air moving.
Keep heavy speakers and amplifiers on lower shelves, with the weight spread across shelves.
Questions from Wimbledon Park
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Wimbledon Park?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
How do you fit TV and media units in a flat in Wimbledon Park?
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. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
That is normal in older homes, and it is what scribing is for. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Do TV units need ventilation?
Ventilation is designed in wherever equipment sits, with open backs, gaps or openings. We give each box its own space and you can check the maker’s guidance on clearances.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you.

The problems TV and media units solve
Equipment on the floor is another reason. A media unit gives each box its own ventilated space, and keeps the floor clear.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
- Space for a soundbar and speakers
- Bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room
- A big screen that dominates the wall
For a flat near Earlsfield 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.
Choosing a carpenter

- How they handle walls that are not straight
Why bespoke in Wimbledon Park?
An off-the-shelf TV stand is cheaper and quick to buy. It is also easy to replace a stand when your equipment changes, which is a fair point in its favour. Bespoke units are made for one wall and the things you use. Standard widths and heights seldom suit an actual room, which leaves gaps at the sides and wasted space on top. Built-in pieces fill the space they’re made for.
We do not publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing. To start, drop us a line using the contact form.
Why choose us
- Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Edges scribed to follow your walls
- Built around your room
- Saturday work by prior arrangement
