Renovation

Whenever a project involves the renovation of a building, especially a historic or listed one, extra care is needed when installing new equipment.

"My father was a restoration builder for over 30years and I grew up around the careful treatment of old buildings"   Noah Derrington, Director Installation Man

When ever we are asked to implement an AV and communications system in to an existing building, we understand the importance of ensuring minimum disturbance of the original features of the building.

 

Can it be done wirelessly?

There are many elements of our systems that can indeed be done wirelessly including sending HDTV, Speakers, Multi Room Audio, CCTV & Lighting control through the airwaves as well as wireless data and phones.

There are some parts of the system that still need to be cabled but we ensure this is done with the minimum of disruption and all cables are completely hidden from view.

 

I can't have a Sky dish, the house is listed?

Not so. We specialize in 'hidden' dishes and can even have a dish positioned down the garden, on an out building or even up to 3 miles away! You get all the benefit of connection to the wonderful world of High Definition entertainment, with out an ugly dish on the wall.

 

Can I hide the big TV when not in use?

Yes. We can supply or have specially made furniture that completely hides all of you home entertainment equipment.

Your TV can rise smoothly out of the top of a cabinet or swing out from behind a painting or simply appear as if by magic from behind a mirror!

There are so many options, just ask and we can give you some ideas. We like a challenge!

Smart Home - Cinema Room

This stunning cinema installation was part of the massive renovation of a historic and listed building. The project was awarded a RIBA design award and was a Grand Designs Award finalist. This is the main home cinema for the house which has other TV viewing areas all connected to a DVD server with BluRay so films are stored centrally and can be viewed on any of the screens.

The screen is an incredible 60'' Pioneer Kuro Plasma which was mounted flush and has a custom made black gloss metal surround to give a perfect finish. The top of the line Bowers & Wilkins in-wall speaker system was designed in to the false wall and the center speaker is fitted to a bespoke made metal bracket for a floating look. The bespoke cabinet hides all the kit and every thing is controlled from one simple remote control. The screen is connected to an HD media player and a distributed SkyHD box so you can watch and record both FreeView and SkyHD whilst still being able to watch those recordings back in any room!

To provide the bass there is a beautiful B&W PV1 sub on a sandstone base and the rear four of a full 7.1 speaker system is built in to the ceiling. The high frequency drivers are all angled in to provide a wide 'sweet spot' so all the family can get the full benefit of those high quality movie sound tracks.

There is also access to the multi room audio system and all the family's music is stored centrally so you can listen to music anywhere in the house, including this awesome cinema system.
