- Equipment running hot in a closed cupboard
- Boxes and consoles on the floor
TV and media units designed for your room
The problems TV and media units solve
In older living rooms, a TV can look out of place. Building it into the alcoves or around the chimney breast makes it part of the room, rather than the focus of it.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- Bought furniture that doesn’t suit the room
- Equipment with nowhere proper to go
- A big screen that dominates the wall
- Wasted space around the screen
Living in a block of flats near Reedham (London) station? Then each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
Before you choose who makes it
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
TV and media units in Woodcote Green: what you get
Built-in TV and media units bring the screen, set-top boxes, speakers and cables together in one piece of furniture. Instead of a stand, a tangle of wires and a few odd shelves, the whole wall is designed at once. For a living room in Woodcote Green, we start with a design visit to measure and talk through what you use. If you are living with clutter around the TV and a tangle of wires behind the TV, TV and media units made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
Many houses from between the wars, and many semis, have been extended or opened up inside, and around Woodcote Green, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a large share of the housing. A long through room gives TV and media units a whole wall to work with. An extension’s plasterboard walls need different fixings from the original brick or block.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so it’s clear what’s included.

Fitting day, step by step
You won’t need to do much on the day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and it’s useful to have the room cleared beforehand. After that, it’s over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and the cable routes planned into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Loft stairs in an interwar house can be tight, with a low ceiling at the top, so any section going up there is sized for them. Elsewhere in the house, the route is usually more generous. The pieces are joined and fixed once in place.
- You contact us with details of the room, the TV and your equipment.
- At the design visit, we measure the wall and plan the screen space, cable routes and ventilation with you. Any new sockets are a job for your electrician.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and finish, for you to look over.
- The unit is made in our workshop, with cable routes and vents built in, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the unit goes in, is levelled and scribed, and the cable routes are left clear.
Before fitting day
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Tell us about parking near your home
Ask for a quote
Every quote follows a design visit. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, then send a written quote. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. To book a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.

What affects the price in Woodcote Green
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. The main factors are:
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It is useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit.
Helping us understand the room
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Where you live, with the postcode
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
It helps to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them give us a good feel for the space, particularly with rough sizes. To send them over, message us from the contact page, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.

What else we make in Woodcote Green
Living-room storage in Woodcote Green
About 44% of the homes in the area around Woodcote Green went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 21% between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Woodcote Green is partly covered by a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. Planning controls in conservation areas are mainly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitting furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need permission. The council can confirm if you are not sure. TfL’s Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every part of London, Sutton included. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Woodcote Green is covered by it. We plan parking and access with you at the measuring visit.
If you live in a period home close to St. Patrick'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 Wallington High School for Girls or a school nearby, shelving with deep cupboards below keeps books, games and school things in one place.

When you need someone else
We make and fit furniture, and we do not do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. There are a few other points to bear in mind:
- Installing aerials, satellite dishes or broadband
- Moving sockets or adding new wiring, which is for your electrician
- Removing a chimney breast or any structural work
If in doubt, you can send us a few details through our contact form and describe the room before you arrange a visit. How it works.
What goes into it
- Hand-painted finish
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Cable routes
- Ventilated cabinets
- Spray-painted finish
- Birch plywood
Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, so it is good for shelves that carry equipment and speakers.
Spray-painted finish
Because it’s sprayed before fitting, the unit comes painted. Treat it gently while the paint cures fully.
Questions we are often asked
Is Woodcote Green in the area you cover for TV and media units?
Yes, Woodcote Green is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Sutton and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Woodcote Green?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. We will also ask about access and parking, and afterwards we send a written quote.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. Some leases need the building owner’s consent before you make alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. Check your lease, as we cannot advise on it.
How do you hide the TV cables?
Cable routes are built into the design, with openings and access panels. Where the cables meet the wall depends on where the sockets are, and your electrician can move them if needed.
How is the furniture 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.
