Media walls
Television recessed, cables run out of sight, chimney breast boxed and finished ready for paint.
Common questions
Do you do the electrics?
No. Sockets, spurs and aerial points behind a media wall are electrical work and get certified separately by an electrician. We build the carcass around them and set the order of work so nobody is stood waiting on anybody.
Can I have a fire in it?
Yes, and it has to be decided before we start rather than during. Electric fires have clearance requirements and the aperture is built to the exact model, so we need the make and model at the measure-up.
What size television can it take?
Tell us the screen you have and the biggest you might go to later. The recess gets built for the larger one, because widening it afterwards means taking the front off the wall.
Will the cables be hidden?
Yes. Conduit goes in as the carcass is built, so cables can be pulled through later without opening anything up. It costs almost nothing at build stage and it is a real job afterwards.
Can it go on a flat wall instead of a chimney breast?
Yes. On a flat wall the whole build projects into the room rather than sitting in an existing recess, so the depth needs agreeing at the measure-up. In a small room that matters more than people expect.

Wardrobes
Fitted wardrobes or freestanding: what you actually gain
Fitted costs more than a flat-pack. Here is what the money buys, and when freestanding is genuinely the better call.
Wardrobes
Why wardrobe doors do not line up, and what scribing is
Walls bow, floors fall away and ceilings drop. Scribing is how a square carcass ends up looking like it grew there.
