TV and media units designed for your room
How it’s made
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done on site once the unit is fitted. Small marks are simple to touch up.
Shelves
Speakers and books suit open shelves, while cupboards hide the rest.
About our TV and media units in Winchmore Hill
The screen size comes first. The opening is planned around your current TV, or a bigger one if you’re likely to upgrade, with a margin so it isn’t a tight squeeze. Viewing height matters too: it should suit where you sit, not just the wall. Most enquiries start with speakers muffled behind doors and a tangle of wires behind the TV, and the answer is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
A typical 1930s semi has a bay window at the front and a chimney breast with a recess either side. Interwar, semi-detached and detached houses make up a big part of the housing around Winchmore Hill, so that layout is worth knowing well. TV and media units typically go on the chimney breast wall, leaving the bay clear, though every room is measured first.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something is not quite right, tell us before anything is made.

What else we make in Winchmore Hill
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations. We cannot advise on your lease.
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it’s worth raising at the measuring visit.
From workshop to your room
Once the main sections are fixed in place, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. 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. Semis and detached houses often have a front path or a side gate, which can make carrying in easier. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors, stairs and doorways are protected on the way in.
- You send us some details about the TV, the boxes and the speakers you use.
- At the design visit, we measure up and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you.
- Your quote follows, with the design, materials and finish set out.
- We make the cupboards, shelves and panels in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the cable routes ready to use. We check the doors and shelves with you before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Starting with a design visit
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we’ve measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, drop us a line using the contact form.

Living-room storage in Winchmore Hill
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 56% of the housing in the area around Winchmore Hill, with about 19% built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. The National Heritage List records 18 entries within half a mile of the centre of Winchmore Hill. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. All of London, Enfield included, is inside the ULEZ. It applies to every van that comes to fit furniture in Winchmore Hill. How the van gets to your door is planned at the design visit.
Near listed buildings like Rowan Tree House Woodside House, under half a mile west of the centre of Winchmore Hill, older homes may keep original joinery that TV and media units can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent. Close to Grovelands Park? A room that looks out on trees deserves a design that leaves the window alone. If you live in a flat close to Winchmore Hill station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.

What it costs
Prices vary from room to room, for these reasons:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Spray painting or hand painting
- The width and height of the space
- Parking near your home
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. That’s reflected in the quote, written once we have measured up.
What we need to know
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. It is useful to include:
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you do not, that is fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Could you do it yourself?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
It’s worth being honest about cost: off-the-shelf furniture usually costs less up front. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Common questions about TV and media units
Will a conservation area stop me having TV and media units fitted in Winchmore Hill?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character may need listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Winchmore Hill?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
How do I get a quote for TV and media units in Winchmore Hill?
Just drop us a line using the contact form. It is useful to send rough sizes and a few pictures, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
Do you make good the walls afterwards?
No. We make, fit and finish the furniture, and plastering and decorating are for other trades. The furniture itself is spray painted or hand painted.
Can landlords use you for a rented flat?
Yes. Landlords and letting agents can arrange a design visit in the same way as anyone else. We’ll need access agreed with any tenants.
My walls aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
That’s normal in older homes, and it is what scribing is for. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
