Media Walls with Fireplace

A fireplace media wall replaces the old idea of a TV perched on a stand next to a chimney breast. Instead, we build a single custom structure that houses a recessed electric fire, your television, and any shelving or storage you need, all finished in a material of your choosing: painted MDF, oak veneer, slatted wood, marble-effect panels, or a combination.

It is the single most requested transformation we carry out across Manchester and the North West, and for good reason. A well-designed fireplace media wall becomes the anchor of a living room. It draws the eye, hides the clutter of a modern entertainment setup, and gives a house that finished, architect-designed feel without the cost or disruption of structural building work.

Every media wall we build starts with a home visit rather than a template. We measure your chimney breast (or open wall, if you are working without one), discuss how you actually use the room, and design a structure that fits your TV size, seating distance, and the amount of storage you want. Most projects use a stud and MDF frame, insulated and fire-rated around the fire unit to current building regulations, then finished to a joinery standard.

Because the fire is electric rather than gas, there is no flue or chimney requirement, which means we can build a media wall on almost any wall in the house, not just where an existing fireplace sits. This has made media walls popular in extensions, converted garages, and open-plan knock-throughs across Manchester, Bolton, and Stockport, where homeowners want a real focal point in a large new space.
