Media walls Sunderland
Designed, built and installed on site across Sunderland and Wearside.
Each wall is made to measure for your television, fire and equipment, with cabling hidden and storage built in from the start.
Screen position and fire clearances in Sunderland
Sunderland City Council’s shipbuilding records describe the Wear’s industrial past. For an indoor television wall, however, the relevant starting point is your room: seating position, the screen’s viewing height and the depth available for any proposed fire.
This Wearside media-wall brief concentrates on screen and fire placement. Supply the exact fire model before a recess is specified. Its installation instructions determine clearances and ventilation, while the screen and soundbar positions need to be considered from the seats you use.
If there is already a fireplace or chimney feature, tell us whether it remains, is unused or is being changed by another trade. New furniture must not conceal a live service or prevent required access. The Sunderland kitchen pages are separate if you are considering work in another room.

Questions about work in Sunderland
Practical answers before you arrange a visit.
What fire details are needed for a Sunderland media-wall quote?
Send the make, model and installation instructions for the electric fire you want. The opening, ventilation and clearances must suit that appliance, not a generic photograph.
How is the screen position chosen in a Wearside living room?
We discuss the seating positions and available wall area with you. The screen, soundbar and any fire are considered together before their openings are agreed.
What if an existing Sunderland fireplace is still in use?
Make that clear in the enquiry. Its status and any work by a relevant registered trade must be resolved before new joinery surrounds or conceals it.
Can a fire be selected after the wall is built?
Choose it before the recess is finalised. A different model may need different dimensions or clearances, so a later choice can require changes to the planned work.
