Bespoke Joinery
Media units and TV walls built into the room
TV walls with the cables, boxes and heat dealt with properly.
What this is
Most media units fail on the boring details: nowhere for the cables, nowhere for the heat, and a soundbar that does not fit. We plan those first, then make the piece around your equipment.
- Cable routes — Ducts and brush plates built in, so nothing hangs down the wall.
- Ventilated — Vented backs and gaps for kit that gets warm.
- Soundbar allowed for — Openings sized around your actual model.
- Bracket support — Pattress built in where the TV bracket lands.

Why this matters
Why people use us for media units
What you actually get out of putting media units through us, rather than a price list.
- 01
Cables dealt with properly
Routes, brush plates and sockets are set out at drawing stage, so nothing trails down the wall.
- 02
Heat taken seriously
Ventilation is designed into the boxes that hold amplifiers and consoles, so kit is not cooked in a sealed cupboard.
- 03
Hidden or on show
The screen can sit behind doors or on a bracket in a recess — both are drawn before anything is built.
- 04
One wall, one piece
Made as a run rather than bought as boxes, so shadow gaps and reveals line through the whole wall.
How it goes
Cables planned before it is cut
Sockets, ventilation and cable routes are set out at drawing stage, not cut in afterwards.
In our own workshop
Made here, start to finish
Nothing is sent out to another workshop. Every stage below happens under one roof in Croydon, which is why the dates hold and the finish matches.
Board cutting
Your boards are squared and cut to the tenth of a millimetre on the beam saw, not on a hand saw on site, so doors line up and gaps stay even.
How we do itEdge banding
Every exposed edge is machine-banded with a glue line you cannot feel, so it does not lift in a warm kitchen or a steamy bathroom.
How we do itCNC machining
Hinge cups, shelf holes and jointing are cut by the router from the drawing you approved, so what is built matches what you signed off.
How we do itVeneer pressing
Real wood veneers are bonded flat in our own press, so a veneered island or wardrobe front stays flat for years.
How we do itBench assembly
Cabinetmakers build and dry-fit the run on the bench here, so problems are found in the workshop and not in your house.
How we do itSpray finishing
Everything is sprayed in our own booths before it travels, which gives a flat factory finish you cannot get with a brush on site.

Questions we are asked
Can you hide the TV completely?
Yes — sliding panels or a lift are both possible, but they add cost, so we price them separately.
Who does the electrics?
Your electrician, or we can arrange one. We leave the routes ready either way.
Can you hide the television?
Yes, behind pocket doors or lift-up fronts. We draw the clearances first, because a big screen needs more room than people expect.
Who does the electrics?
Your electrician, usually. We set out the socket and brush plate positions on the drawing so first fix happens in the right places.
