What is included in a media wall package?

A complete package should include the cabinet, an electric fire (40–70 inch) or storage, LED lighting, acoustic panels, a TV backpanel, hidden sockets, full cable management, and all electrical and joinery work. MPS Media Walls includes all of these in every package with no hidden extras.

Why do media wall prices vary so much?

Price differences come down to construction method (handmade joinery vs CNC flat-pack), board quality (premium 18mm Egger MFC vs budget MDF), whether trades like electrics are included or extra, and whether the fire, lighting and panels are included. Quotes under £2,000 usually exclude the fire, electrical work, or both.

Is a media wall cheaper than a built-in wardrobe-style unit?

Generally yes. A handmade media wall with fire and lighting typically costs £3,200–£3,600 installed, whereas full-height bespoke built-in joinery for a whole wall usually starts around £5,000–£10,000.

How long does a media wall installation take?

With all trades under one roof, a full media wall including fire, electrics, acoustic panels and TV installation can be completed in one day. Companies that subcontract trades typically take 3–10 days across multiple visits.

What makes a media wall cost more (or less)?

Construction method. CNC flat-pack is cheaper because a machine cuts it; handmade joinery costs more because a joiner builds and scribes it to your actual wall, with grain-matched boards so the texture flows unbroken across every door.
Board quality. Premium 18mm Egger MFC furniture board vs budget MDF is the difference you can see across a room — and the difference in how it looks in five years.
What's actually included. The most common pricing trick in this industry: a low headline price that excludes the fire (£400–£900), electrical work (£300–£600), or the TV install. Always ask for the total installed price.
Fire size. Going from a 40" to a 70" electric fire adds several hundred pounds at cost.
Wall size and extras. Wider walls, floating display cabinets and extra acoustic panelling add cost proportionally.

Common questions

Is a cheap media wall worth it?

It depends what got cut to hit the price. If the quote is under £2,000 installed, check whether the fire, electrics and cable management are included — usually at least one isn't. Flat-pack CNC units also show visible joins and unmatched grain, which is what makes a media wall look budget.

How long does installation take?

With all trades under one roof (our model), one day: in at 8am, handed over the same evening. Firms that subcontract the electrician and plasterer typically need 3–10 days across multiple visits.

Does a media wall add value to your home?

Estate agents consistently list media walls among the most requested living-room features in UK homes, and a well-built one photographs exceptionally well for listings. Like most interior improvements, a quality installation is more about sellability and lifestyle than a pound-for-pound valuation increase.

Do I need planning permission?

No. A media wall is furniture/joinery fixed to an internal wall, with an electric (not gas) fire — no planning permission or building warrant needed in the UK.
