Cardiff is a county of Victorian bay-fronted terraces on a grid, with steady period refurbishment. That is exactly the kind of building stock a media wall has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every media wall we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Cardiff, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Media Walls & TV Units in Cardiff — common questions
Can we run it in oak rather than paint?
Yes. Oak veneer over ply is the usual choice for a large panel because solid oak that wide will move seasonally. The visible edges are lipped in solid so it reads as timber throughout.
How do you hide the cables?
Conduit inside the carcass from the screen position down to the equipment bay, with brush plates at each end. Mains and data are run separately to avoid interference, and we leave a draw cord in for whatever you add later.
Can you build in a fireplace as well?
Yes. Electric fires are straightforward — they need a power feed and a stated clearance. Anything burning fuel needs a hearth, a flue and a HETAS-registered installer, and the joinery is designed around their requirements, not the other way round.
Can it be free-standing so it moves with us?
A base unit can be. The upper panel and screen surround need fixing to the wall for safety, so a media wall is generally fitted furniture.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
Yes. We take a profile of the existing skirting, architrave or door and either match it from stock cutters or have a cutter ground so the new work runs identically. Matching an old paint colour is straightforward; matching aged oak takes a sample panel and a couple of attempts, which we build into the programme.
