Residential

First there’s the buzz of getting your new equipment. But then there can be the headache of finding someone you can trust to get them working for you. If you’ve got better things to do than installing your new telly, just call in the experts. 

If you’re looking for a great home cinema experience with your flat screen TV then our wall mount service is just for you. Our expert installers can secure your TV to the wall and hook up your DVD player, Sky box, games consoles, home cinema system and other gadgets easily - all that is left for you to do is sit back and enjoy the experience.

We’ll set everything up for you, make sure it’s all working properly, show you what’s what and if required, even take your old appliance away to be recycled.

Survey

We believe that one of the most important parts of the installation is to talk with you, and understand your requirements.

We will listen to your needs but will also offer advice on the positioning of your screen taking into account mounting height, seating positions, viewing distance of your screen and also whether the wall is suitable to take the weight. We will then check and scan for hidden wires or pipes etc prior to drilling or wall chasing.

If we are installing a projector and screen, we will look at light sources, mounting distance of projector to screen to give you the best possible picture quality. We will consider the route for laying cables etc.

For home cinema installations we will advise on the best speaker positions, leads and speaker cable. Again, we will look at the best places to conceal any cables. Please look at our Home Cinema page for more information.

Protection

Once we have established and agreed a plan, we cover the room with protective dust sheets. We do ask for the working area to be cleared of any fragile items and furniture before we arrive. We disconnect any existing equipment and move your old TV out of the room if you wish.

Connections

We look at the screen and we will then talk you through every connection on the plasma or LCD screen. We will explain which leads you should have based on any existing items you have and those you require to use.

We ask what you may need in the future, such as games systems i.e. Xbox360, PS3, Wii, PC, HD connections and home cinema etc. If you are planning on looking into home cinema installations in the future, it may be a good idea to fit a cable for a centre speaker. If cables are going to be put into the wall it is very important to get the right cables in place for your current and future needs, as they cannot be added at a later date.

Fixings

Most likely, your biggest worry will be whether your Plasma or LCD screen can be securely fixed to the wall. When we mount your screen, our primary concern is to make absolutely sure that your screen is safely fixed to the wall. We will always "over-fix" screens using extra fixings if required. That way we can the guarantee the screen will stay on the wall. We provide all necessary bolts and ensure the correct bolts are chosen which depends on the type of wall.

Once the installation is complete, the site will be cleaned and tidied. We will then setup and configure your screen / home cinema to any existing equipment to achieve the best possible results and give instruction if required.

Piece of mind

Our work is guaranteed for 2 years. If your screen or projector should come loose and is damaged due to our faulty workmanship, we will provide a new replacement and repair any damage caused. This has never happened as we take great care to ensure that our home cinema installations and screens are particularly well secured.

We have public liability insurance and are fully insured up to £5,000,000.
