What Drives the Cost
A great media wall is part joinery, part architecture, part electrics/AV. Your budget reflects how much of each your space requires—especially in London’s mix of period homes and new-builds.
1) Scale & Layout
Full-width spans, deep TV recesses for 65–75″ sets, floating shelves, and extra storage increase materials and build time.
Victorian and Edwardian properties often have out-of-true walls; achieving a seamless finish can require extra making-good.
2) Materials & Finishes
From durable laminates to textured panels, real wood veneers, fluted detailing, and stone accents.
Premium finishes take more craft time—but they elevate both look and longevity, which matters in high-use living spaces.
3) Lighting Design
Clean, architectural lighting needs planning: LED profiles, drivers, dimming, safe power runs, and discreet maintenance access.
A single accent run is cost-effective; layered lighting (ambient + task) adds versatility and budget.
4) Fireplace Integration (optional)
Electric fires look effortless when we design clearances, heat management, and service zones in from the start.
Fire model, size and fascia affect the overall design and cost.
5) AV, Ventilation & Access
Soundbar niches, fabric (speaker-cloth) doors, subwoofer vents, hidden equipment bays and service panels keep everything elegant and serviceable.
The more invisible the tech, the more precise—and therefore time-intensive—the joinery.
6) Site Conditions & Coordination
Access (lifts, parking, red routes), chimney-breast builds, hidden cable routes and local re-plastering/decorating impact time on site.
New sockets/data points require a qualified (Part P-registered) electrician—we coordinate so it feels effortless.
