The service
What it is and why it matters
A media wall is a built-out feature wall housing a TV, often an electric fire, and shelves or cupboards, with wiring hidden inside.
Why professional help matters
It has to hold a heavy TV safely, allow ventilation for a fire, and leave access for cables. That needs proper framing and planning.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a tidy living room without cables and a TV stand.
When you need it
When redecorating a lounge, finishing an extension, or replacing an old fireplace.
Getting it wrong
What happens when it's done badly
A rushed media wall can be unsafe and look cheap.
TV not supported
Mounting into plasterboard without solid timber behind is a safety risk.
Overheating
Electric fires need clearances and ventilation.
No cable access
Sealing cables in with no way to change them later.
Cracks at joints
Poor framing causes plaster cracks.
Common mistakes we see
- -Not measuring the TV and fire before building.
- -Forgetting sockets and aerial points.
- -Ignoring the fire's installation guidance.
- -Building too deep for the room.
