Tyne and Wear is a county of tyneside flats, Victorian terraces and extensive post-war estate housing. 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
Walls in Tyne and Wear are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A media wall that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

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 Tyne and Wear — 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.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
