Yes, we regularly work across Hertfordshire and the wider Home Counties. Our portfolio includes projects in St Albans, Harpenden, Radlett and throughout the county. We are happy to provide local references on request.

Most installations are done in 10 days. Where a Hertfordshire job runs longer it is usually a period room where nothing is square and every panel has to be scribed and cut on site. The Venetian plaster wall we built around a client's existing fire took two weeks start to finish, stud work, plaster and all the joinery, with the drying time programmed inside that fortnight rather than added on to the end of it. The programme is confirmed in your quote before we start.

From £7,000 for a bespoke build: cabinetry made to your dimensions, concealed cabling and AV integration, with no off-the-shelf carcasses anywhere in it. A full-width floor-to-ceiling build with integrated lighting and a fire typically runs £10,000 to £20,000 depending on size and materials. In Hertfordshire the thing that moves the number most is the finish. A painted MDF wall and the same geometry in hand applied Venetian plaster are not the same job, and we apply the plaster ourselves rather than subbing it out. Every quote is fixed before we start.

Usually yes, and we have done it in Hertfordshire more than once. We frame the new stud work around the unit that is already there and design the wall to the fire's real dimensions, so the TV centre line comes off the fire rather than off the wall. What comes first is the clearance check: the fire has to stay serviceable behind the finished joinery and its ventilation requirements have to be met. Occasionally that check says no, normally with an older unit that vents its heat somewhere awkward, and then we will tell you the fire needs swapping rather than box in a heat source we cannot account for.

Yes, and in Hertfordshire it is usually the first question, because so much of the housing stock still has a working chimney breast. Where there is no gas supply we specify a wide-format linear electric fire. Where there is a supply we can work with gas. Where you already have a fire you want to keep, we frame around it and take the TV centre line off the fire rather than off the wall. Framing, joinery, cabling and all electrical work are ours and certified to Part P, so there is no electrician for you to find.

Yes. Many of our Hertfordshire projects are in Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war properties across towns including St Albans, Harpenden and Berkhamsted. We are experienced in working around original features, uneven walls and period architecture. Everything is built in situ and scribed precisely to your room.

Yes, with all cabling concealed. What we need at the design visit is the actual numbers rather than a description: screen size, whether it is recessed into the centre section or sits on the face, and the soundbar's depth as well as its length, because projection is what catches people out far more often than width. Those go into the quote as dimensions. We build the space. You supply the equipment, and it is not covered by our workmanship guarantee, which covers what we made.

Yes. Smoked oak, American walnut, white-pigmented oak and FSC-certified hardwoods, all cut, machined and finished in our own workshop. Working in house is what lets us match a period room rather than approximate it: an unusual section, a specific grain direction, a stain pulled to a floor that was laid a hundred years ago. A third-party joinery supplier charges a premium for that, when they will do it at all.

Yes, and we work from a physical reference rather than a photograph: a floorboard, a piece of furniture, a fabric, a paint code. Timber species, stain tones, any RAL or BS lacquer reference and plaster finishes can be matched or deliberately harmonised. In older Hertfordshire houses the thing most worth matching is the joinery already in the room, the skirting profile, the architrave, the picture rail, so the new wall reads as part of the house rather than something delivered into it. Samples come to you so the choice is made in your own light.

Yes. Five years on all joinery and structural work, covering the cabinetry, the framing, the finishing and the fitted lighting. If anything moves, warps or stops performing as installed, we come back and put it right at no cost. It does not extend to third-party AV equipment or to consumables such as bulbs. Worth knowing in an older house: timber moves with heat and humidity, and a wall built beside a working fire in a Victorian room is exactly the situation a five-year guarantee exists for.

Most builds are installed within a month of your deposit. We run a limited number of projects at a time so each one gets the whole team rather than a share of it. If you are working to a date, and it is usually Christmas, come to us earlier than you think you need to. The design visit, the drawings and your sign off all happen before that month starts.

Yes, and in Victorian and Edwardian rooms the question is usually about a chimney breast with an alcove either side rather than a flat wall. That geometry is an opportunity rather than a problem. The breast carries the screen and the fire, the alcoves take storage and lit shelving, and the result sits in the room better than a flat full-width build would. We choose the screen size and the cabinetry depth for the room rather than the largest that will physically fit, and if a floor-to-ceiling build would overpower the space we will say so before you have paid us anything.

Yes. Parts of St Albans, Berkhamsted and the older villages have conservation status, and we regularly work in listed and period homes across the county. A media wall is internal joinery, so it rarely needs planning permission, but we work carefully around original features, uneven walls and any protected fabric. If your property is listed we will tell you honestly what is and is not sensible before anything is agreed.

Yes, and a good share of our Hertfordshire work is in newer homes around Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage. New-build walls are usually stud rather than masonry, which changes how we fix and support the structure and where the weight is carried. We check the wall build-up on the design visit so the fixings and any recessed fire are specified correctly for the construction.

We cover the whole county with no travel surcharge, from Rickmansworth and Watford in the south west across to Bishop's Stortford in the east. If you are just over the border in Bedfordshire, Essex or north London we usually still cover you: send your postcode and we will confirm.
