Media Wall Guide
How Long Does it Take to Build and Install a Custom Media Wall?
Understanding the timeline for a bespoke media wall build helps you plan around work commitments and minimise disruption to your home. The majority of the build happens in our workshop — on-site installation in your Berkshire property is typically the shorter phase.
Workshop Phase: Where Most of the Build Happens
After confirming your written quote and design, we spend one to two weeks in workshop preparation — cutting all carcass panels to precise dimensions, pre-drilling fixing positions, constructing cabinet carcasses, applying primer coats, and routing any cable channels. This workshop phase means that when we arrive at your property, the physical installation is efficient and clean rather than a protracted on-site fabrication process that fills your home with sawdust and noise for days.

On-Site Installation: How Many Days to Expect
A standard media wall without a fireplace — stud frame, carcasses, face panels, and skirting return — takes 2–3 days on-site. Adding an electric fireplace with structural cantilevering takes the programme to 3–4 days. A large-scale feature wall with acoustic slat panels, complex integrated shelving, and smart LED routing takes 4–6 days. We work cleanly, protecting your flooring and furniture daily, and leave the site tidy at the end of every working day. Paint or spray-coat finishing, if carried out by us, adds 1–2 additional days including drying time.
FAQ
Common Questions
Do I need to leave the house during installation?
No. We work cleanly and around your schedule. The room being installed in will have its furniture moved temporarily, but the rest of the house is fully functional throughout.
What is the lead time between order and start date?
Typically 3–6 weeks from quote sign-off to installation start, depending on our current schedule. We confirm your start date at the time of booking.
Can the media wall be installed over a weekend to minimise work disruption?
We can discuss weekend scheduling for clients with specific requirements. A small surcharge may apply for non-standard working days.
