Media walls

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.
