A media wall is one of the most transformative changes you can make to a living space. It's also one of the most common Google searches — "how much does a media wall cost?" — because the answer from most companies is frustratingly vague. Here's the honest breakdown.
What's Included in a Media Wall?
A fully installed media wall typically includes: stud work and boarding, plasterboard, skimming and plaster finish, fire recess installation, electrical work (sockets behind TV, LED wiring), LED lighting, TV bracket, and optionally floating cabinets or alcove shelving.
The fire itself is usually priced separately, then added to the installation quote.
UK Media Wall Installation Prices 2025
| Package | What's Included | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Only (supply) | Fire delivered, you arrange install | £1,399–£1,999 |
| Essential Install | Fire + wall build + boarding + plaster + 2 sockets | £2,000–£2,500 |
| Premium Install | + alcoves + floating cabinet + LED lighting + TV bracket | £2,500–£4,000 |
| Bespoke Package | Floor-to-ceiling joinery + full EGGER MFC suite | £4,000–£6,000+ |
Factors That Affect the Price
Wall size. A 3m wide media wall costs more than a 2.5m one — more boarding, more plastering, more finishing.
Fire size. A 2000mm Signature 80 recess requires more structural work than a 1300mm Kensington 50 recess. Larger openings need more support.
Location. Labour costs vary significantly by region. Bradford and Yorkshire are noticeably more affordable than London or the South East for the same quality of work.
Joinery spec. Standard MDF joinery costs significantly less than furniture-grade EGGER MFC board with CNC precision cutting and Italian edge-banding. The quality difference is immediately visible.
Electrical complexity. A standard 2 double sockets + LED strip is simple. Multi-zone audio routing, dimmable circuits and smart home integration add cost.
The £100 reserve
Unlike other companies who ask for large deposits upfront, Mayfair Fires operates a £100 reserve scheme: you pay £100 to secure your fire and installation date. The fire balance is due on delivery. The installation fee is due on completion — when you're happy with the work. Zero risk.
This is unique in the market. British Fires, Evonic and most other brands require full payment upfront through showrooms.
