A media unit or media wall has to suit whichever kind of room it goes into, since a design that works in a wide, tall villa reception room will overwhelm a low-ceilinged cottage sitting room. In the cottages, alcove media units either side of a chimney breast are the natural fit, built to the exact width of each alcove since they are rarely identical, with cable routes planned through the chimney breast or skirting rather than left trailing across the hearth. In the larger villas and detached houses, a full media wall with a recessed television, floating shelving and concealed storage makes better use of the wall area, and there is often more scope to route cables within a stud wall rather than working around solid masonry. Whichever design suits the room, the electrical side, new sockets, aerial points and any lighting built into the unit, is carried out by the qualified electrician we work with, planned in at first fix so nothing is left trailing once the joinery goes up. Our workshop at Blackbarn Farm in Ipsden is close enough to Goring that fitting a media unit does not need to be batched with other work to be worthwhile, and we are happy to visit for a single alcove unit as readily as a full room reconfiguration. More on media unitsCarpentry across Goring-on-ThamesSee finished work ## What Goring-on-Thames homes ask of media units ### Alcove units either side of a chimney breast Cottage sitting rooms in Goring commonly have a chimney breast with an alcove on each side, and those alcoves are almost never the same width or depth. We measure and build each side independently rather than assuming symmetry, so both units sit flush without a visible gap. Where the fireplace is still in use, we keep clearance from any heat source in mind when planning shelving and cable routes, and avoid running cables through a flue or hearth area. ### Full media walls in larger reception rooms The bigger reception rooms in Goring's villas and detached houses often suit a full media wall rather than a single alcove unit, combining a recessed television, floating shelves and concealed cabinet storage across the width of the room. These walls are usually built as a stud and panel construction rather than fixed directly to a masonry wall, which gives more room to route cables and sockets exactly where they are needed. ### Coordinating cables and sockets Nothing undermines a media unit faster than a cable trailing across the skirting or a socket left in the wrong place. All new electrical work, including sockets, aerial points and unit lighting, is carried out by the qualified electrician we work with, planned in before the joinery goes up. This coordination matters more in solid-wall cottages than newer builds, since chasing cable into brick or flint is a bigger job than running it through a plasterboard stud wall. ### Working with river and hillside views Some of Goring's larger living rooms are positioned to make the most of a river or hillside view, and a media wall in these rooms is often designed to sit on a side or rear wall rather than compete with the window for attention. Where a room genuinely does not have a good wall for a television, we will say so at the design stage rather than force a layout that leaves the room feeling unbalanced.

Questions ## Media Units in Goring-on-Thames: common questions Can you build media units either side of a chimney breast in a Goring cottage?Yes, alcove media units either side of a chimney breast are common work for us in Goring's cottages, and we measure and build each alcove to its own width and depth rather than assuming both sides are identical, which they rarely are. Who wires the sockets and cables for a media wall?Sockets, aerial points and any lighting built into a media wall are wired by the qualified electrician we work with, not by us directly, and this work is planned in before the joinery is installed so no cables are left trailing. How long does a media unit take to build for a Goring living room?A bespoke media unit or media wall for a Goring living room typically takes a few weeks from approved design to installation, shorter than a full bedroom project, though exact timing depends on the size and complexity of the unit. What does a media wall cost in Goring-on-Thames?The cost of a media wall or alcove unit in Goring-on-Thames depends on its size, the storage and shelving specified and any electrical work required, so we confirm the exact price in a written fixed-price quote after a free site visit. Can a media unit be fitted without disturbing an open fireplace?Yes, media units built into alcoves beside a working fireplace in Goring are designed with clearance from the heat source in mind, and cable routes are planned to avoid the flue and hearth area entirely. ## Media Units in nearby towns and villages - media units in Didcot - media units in Henley-on-Thames - media units in Abingdon-on-Thames ## Other work we do in Goring-on-Thames - fitted wardrobes in Goring-on-Thames - kitchen fitting in Goring-on-Thames - garden rooms in Goring-on-Thames - fitted bedrooms & furniture in Goring-on-Thames ## Get a media unit built for your Goring living room Book a free site visit and receive a written fixed-price quote within 72 hours, with electrics coordinated from the start.
