Your Media Wall Options
Size
From cosy flats to expansive living rooms, our South Ockendon media wall installations adapt perfectly to your space. Most clients opt for designs between 1.5 and 4+ metres, with each size offering unique advantages for different room layouts.
Compact installations of 1.5-2 metres work brilliantly in modern flats and smaller rooms, creating an eye-catching centrepiece without overwhelming the space.
These sleek designs cleverly incorporate storage whilst maintaining an open, airy feel.
For larger rooms, our impressive 4+ metre installations make bold statements, offering extensive storage and sophisticated lighting features.
These grander units beautifully showcase both entertainment systems and decorative elements, though they require more substantial wall space and investment.
Your ideal size depends on careful assessment of room dimensions and practical needs. Whilst larger installations deliver dramatic impact and storage benefits, they may overwhelm cosier spaces.
Conversely, compact designs preserve room flow but offer more limited storage options.

Enhance your South Ockendon media wall with our range of sophisticated additions. Our LED lighting systems create stunning ambiance and reduce viewing fatigue, offering customisable backlight options that complement your room's character.
Select from a diverse range of integrated electric fires through our trusted partners —from striking panoramic models to elegant side-window designs—adding both warmth and visual drama.
Floating shelves provide perfect platforms for treasured items, whilst discreet cupboards keep entertainment equipment tucked away. Dedicated soundbar spaces ensure exceptional audio quality whilst maintaining the installation's clean lines.
Every component works in concert—ambient lighting highlights display areas beautifully, whilst cleverly concealed storage keeps media accessories organised and accessible.
These carefully integrated elements transform your media wall into a multifunctional centrepiece that perfectly balances style with practicality, creating an entertainment hub that's uniquely yours.

Bold charcoal and deep navy painted finishes create striking focal points in spacious, well-lit rooms, whilst calming neutrals and warm greys make cosier spaces feel more expansive.
From contemporary sage to timeless white, our paint options let you perfectly match your existing décor.
Panel selections add distinctive character through varied textures and finishes. Wood-effect panels introduce natural warmth and tactile appeal, complementing traditional furnishings.
Modern stone-effect panels deliver sophisticated impact, whilst textured options create compelling visual depth that catches both light and attention.
Each finish offers unique benefits—painted surfaces enable precise colour matching and easy updating, whilst panels provide superior durability and natural textures that disguise minor wall imperfections.
Whether you choose the smooth sophistication of paint or the rich depth of panels, your selection fundamentally shapes your room's atmosphere and character.

Custom Media Walls In South Ockendon: The Do’s And Don'ts
âś…
Keep It Central
Although it’s completely up to you, many customers have told us they prefer a media wall in the center of the room, as opposed to the sides.
❌
Your Current Fire
A lot of people tend to have an existing fireplace in the middle of the living room. Before starting a media wall, this will need to be removed; and a stud wall will need to be built.
âś…
Fire & TV Size
We always recommend choosing a media wall fire that matches the size of your TV, as this provides the most aesthetic appeal.
❌
Wood Burner/Stove
The same applies if you have a stove/wood burner in your chimney breast. This will have to come out beforehand for safety reasons.

What’s Involved In Building A Media Wall?
01 Building The Stud Work
Our South Ockendon media wall installations start with precision-engineered stud framework—the essential internal structure that provides crucial stability.
By securing this framework directly into brickwork using specialist fixings, rather than relying on plasterboard, we create an exceptionally robust foundation that safely supports your entertainment system.
Using advanced detection tools, we precisely locate ceiling joists to ensure secure overhead fixings, guaranteeing unwavering support for decades.
This attention to structural integrity is vital, as your framework must reliably support significant weight from TVs, shelving and integrated features without any movement or sagging.
Though framework construction can create dust, we implement comprehensive protection measures.
Premium-grade dust sheets shield your furniture and flooring, whilst professional extraction equipment captures airborne particles.
Our thorough daily clean-up maintains your home's cleanliness throughout the installation, delivering a perfectly aligned structure that meets exact specifications whilst keeping disruption minimal.
02 Boarding & Plastering
In South Ockendon, we provide two distinct approaches to your media wall surface.
MDF offers a quicker installation by eliminating plastering and drying times, enabling faster project completion.
However, MDF corners can't accommodate protective angle beads, potentially compromising long-term durability.
Traditional plasterboard with professional plastering delivers superior results, particularly for painted finishes.
Though requiring drying time, plastering creates flawlessly smooth surfaces that enhance your media wall's sophisticated appearance.
These expertly finished surfaces provide the perfect foundation for any colour scheme, ensuring enduring elegance.
For panel installations, we use unplastered plasterboard, providing an ideal mounting surface whilst reducing installation time.
This method balances efficiency with durability, creating a solid foundation for decorative panels.
We'll recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific design requirements and timeline preferences.
03 The Final Touch (Painting)
The finishing stage transforms your media wall into a stunning focal point.
Our perfectionist painter achieves flawless results, whether you choose subtle neutrals that blend seamlessly with your décor or bold statement colours like midnight navy or charcoal that demand attention.
For those preferring panels, our selection delivers distinctive character—from warming wood effects that bring natural elegance to sophisticated stone textures that exude contemporary style.
Modern laminate panels unite aesthetic appeal with outstanding durability.
While paint offers unlimited colour options and easy updating, panels provide built-in texture and superior wear resistance.
Current trends show soft greys dominating minimalist spaces, deep blues creating dramatic impact, and textured stone panels delivering timeless sophistication.
Through careful consultation, we ensure your chosen finish—whether painted perfection or premium panels—enhances your room's character whilst achieving maximum visual impact.
The Process When Hiring Our Media Wall Fitters
FAQs
Here you can find the most common frequenty asked questions we get about media walls. You can also click the button below to find answer to more related questions about your project.
How long does a media wall take?
Building media walls in South Ockendon typically takes 3-5 days to complete, depending on design complexity and additional features.
Is MDF or plasterboard used for a media wall?
MDF is a sturdy, durable material ideal for supporting heavier items, making it a great choice for the bottom of shelves on a media wall. In contrast, plasterboard is lightweight and easy to install, providing a smooth, paint-ready surface for the wall structure. Ultimately, the choice depends on the customer’s preferences for functionality and finish.
What Depth Does a media wall need to be?
The depth of a media wall typically measures around 400mm, but this can vary based on design preferences and the equipment being installed. Larger TVs or integrated features like shelving, fireplaces, or sound systems may require additional depth to ensure everything fits securely and functions well. As media wall builders we will customise the depth to accommodate your needs and the media wall’s intended use, balancing aesthetics with practical requirements.
Does A Media Wall Need Ventilation?
Yes, a media wall often requires ventilation, especially if it includes electronics like TVs, sound systems, or an electric fireplace. As seasoned media wall builders we can tell you that proper ventilation prevents overheating by allowing air to circulate around these devices, protecting them from potential damage. Ventilation can be incorporated discreetly, using vent panels or gaps that blend with the design, ensuring functionality without compromising the wall's appearance.
Will I need to reinforce the wall?
Yes, if the wall uses dry lining, it will need reinforcement with MDF to ensure a secure structure. Reinforcing provides a solid fixing for the stud work, which is essential for safely supporting heavier elements like TVs and shelving. Strong reinforcement ensures durability and stability, especially when mounting heavy equipment, ensuring durability.
Will Media Walls Go Out Of Fashion?
Media walls are unlikely to go out of fashion. As interior design trends increasingly focus on functionality, technology integration, and clean aesthetics. Modern homes favour minimalist, clutter-free spaces that seamlessly incorporate entertainment systems, making media walls an ideal solution. As technology advances and TVs continue to remain the centre of any home entertainment system, media walls will ensure both style and practicality. As design trends evolve, media walls can be customised to suit various styles, ensuring they remain a versatile and timeless choice.
