How Much Does a Media Wall Cost in South Wales?

May 2026 Caerphilly
Cost of Media Wall Fire Infographic

If you're considering a media wall in your living room, one of the first questions you'll have is: How much will it cost?

1. The Electric Fire Itself

The fire is usually the most expensive single component. Entry-level fires start around £500, but they often look artificial. For a premium, ultra-realistic fire like the Firez™ panoramic models, you should budget between £1,190 and £2,490 depending on the width.

2. The Stud Wall Construction

We typically build with premium MDF to provide a solid, smooth finish with crisp edges without the need for traditional plastering. Materials and labour for this range from £800 to £1,500. We do also offer a traditional plaster finish for those who prefer it—however, this usually adds an extra £80 to £130.

3. Electrical Work

You need sockets for the fire, TV, and any LED lighting or media boxes. A qualified electrician usually charges £150 - £300 to spur off an existing ring main and install hidden sockets.

4. TV Wall Mounts & Brackets

A high-quality TV bracket is essential. We highly recommend a full-motion articulating bracket (around £80 to £150) so you can easily pull the TV out to access HDMI ports.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
