Derbyshire is a county of gritstone cottages in the Peak, Victorian mill housing and large modern estates. 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
We build media walls & tv units as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Derbyshire address.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

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 Derbyshire — common questions
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 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.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
