BR1 / BR2
Media wall installers in Bromley.
Bromley is where the rooms are bigger and the ambition follows. 1930s semis with 4.0–4.5m living rooms and no chimney breast give us a clean canvas — most Bromley media walls run wall-to-wall, with bigger TVs (75–85 inch) and more substantial joinery than inner-London projects.
Bromley homes
What we're building into.
1930s semis dominate Bromley Common, the streets around Bromley South, and Hayes. Edwardian semis around Bickley have wider chimney breasts than inner-London Victorians (1.6–1.8m vs 1.2–1.4m). Driveway access on most semis simplifies materials delivery — no parking permit logistics that complicate Clapham or Dulwich projects.
Bromley Common, streets around Bromley South, Hayes. Living rooms 4.0–4.5m wide, often no chimney breast, bay window on the front elevation.
Bickley, Shortlands, Sundridge Park. Wider chimney breasts (1.6–1.8m) and deeper alcoves than inner-London Victorians. Higher ceilings.
Beckenham, parts of Petts Wood, and newer infill across the borough. Wider canvases, contemporary finishes.
Designs that suit Bromley
Three directions our Bromley clients pick most.
Wall-to-wall slatted oak with smart lighting
Full-width slatted oak across the back wall, generous 75–85 inch TV recess, integrated cabinetry running the length. Smart RGB LED set to warm amber. London-hotel feel in a Bromley suburban living room.
Flush walnut veneer for the contemporary semi
Continuous walnut veneered MDF across the entire wall, no slats or painted breaks. The TV almost disappears into the surface. Push-to-open drawer fronts at floor level. Modern, considered, minimal.
Marble surround at the higher end
Calacatta porcelain feature panel around the central recess, painted plaster either side in soft mushroom-grey. Popular in the larger Bickley and Shortlands homes where the budget supports the upgrade.

A note from the director
“Bromley clients want bigger, cleaner, more refined. The rooms in BR1 and BR2 are typically 4.0–4.5m wide — a metre more than inner-London terraces — and most Bromley homes don't have a chimney breast to design around. So the canvas is bigger, the TV is bigger, and the brief is usually "something that looks like a London hotel". I survey every Bromley project myself, and the driveway access on most semis makes the build itself easier than inner-London work.

Bromley questions
What Bromley clients ask first.
Yes, this is the most common Bromley configuration. Without a chimney breast, we build the media wall as a freestanding framed feature on the flat back wall, typically wall-to-wall for visual impact and to use the room's width. The framing comes forward 200–300mm from the existing wall — enough depth to accommodate the TV recess, electric fireplace recess, cable management, and any deep shelving. The lack of a chimney breast actually gives more design freedom because the proportions aren't fixed.
Yes — common in Bromley where many homes already have built-in alcove cabinets from previous renovations. Two options: keep the existing cabinetry and tie the new wall into its proportions, or strip out the existing and rebuild as a single coordinated piece. The rebuild looks cleaner and matches proportions exactly. The tie-in saves on joinery cost but reads as an addition rather than a unified design.
Not really, but it shapes the layout. Bay windows are on the front elevation; the media wall goes on the back wall (opposite the bay) because that's the longest unbroken run. The sofa arrangement then faces the back wall. We measure the bay-to-back-wall distance at the survey because 4.5+ metres of viewing distance suits a 75–85 inch TV cleanly, but tighter distances need a smaller set to avoid the room feeling cramped.
No. The Bickley, Shortlands, and Plaistow conservation areas in Bromley protect external character — front elevations, original sash windows, front gardens. Internal works like a media wall don't trigger conservation area consent. Listed properties (rare in Bromley) would need Listed Building Consent for any work touching original features, but we've never seen a listed building in BR1 or BR2 require LBC for a media wall.
Yes, comfortably. Most 1930s semis around Bromley have 4.0–4.5m wide living rooms, which is the ideal sofa-to-wall distance (3.0–3.5m) for an 85-inch screen. The recess gets framed with reinforced ply behind the mount so the bracket carries the full 40–50kg weight directly on solid timber, not just plasterboard. We've fitted 85-inch sets on 1.5m and 1.7m wide cladding panels — both work, the wider option just leaves more room for shelving either side.
