Home cinema & AV, West Sussex

Home cinema and AV installation, built around your room.

From a soundbar and subwoofer to a full surround sound setup, or pre-wiring a renovation before the plasterers arrive, we plan the system around the room you’ve actually got.

Good sound starts with the room, not the box

It’s easy to spend a lot on speakers and an amplifier and still end up with muddy, disappointing sound. Where the speakers sit, how far you are from the screen, what’s on the floor and the walls: all of it changes how a system sounds. So we start with the room and work out what will suit it.

That might be a dedicated cinema room with a projector and speakers in the ceiling. It might be a living room where the family watches films at the weekend and the speakers need to blend in the rest of the week. Both can sound great. They just need different kit and different cable routes.

We’re happy to give advice on equipment before you buy anything, so you don’t end up with a box of kit that doesn’t suit the space.

Ways to build a home cinema

From a simple upgrade to a room built for films.

01

Soundbar and subwoofer

The simplest step up from TV speakers. A good soundbar under the screen and a subwoofer tucked to one side make a big difference in a living room, without speakers everywhere.

02

Surround sound

Speakers in front of, beside and behind the seating, driven by an AV receiver. We position them for the seats you actually use and hide as much cabling as the room allows.

03

In-wall and in-ceiling speakers

Speakers fitted flush into the plasterboard, so there’s nothing on stands. Easiest to do while ceilings and walls are open during building work.

04

Projectors and big screens

A projector and screen for a dedicated room, or a big TV for a room that has to work in daylight too. We talk through which suits the space and how much light gets in.

Pre-wiring

Building or renovating? Wire it now.

The best time to plan AV is before the walls are finished. Once the plaster’s up, every cable has to find a way round it.

01

New builds and extensions

We run speaker, HDMI and network cables while the studwork is open, and leave tidy plates where the kit will go.

02

Loft conversions and garden rooms

Popular spots for a second TV or a cinema room, and both usually need network and TV signal brought in from the main house.

03

Business premises

Screens and sound for reception areas, meeting rooms and shops, wired before you move in to limit disruption once you’re open.

04

Long HDMI runs

When the AV kit lives in a cupboard and the screen is across the room, the connection has to be planned properly so the picture stays reliable over the distance.

05

Starting with the screen

If the main job is getting the TV on the wall, start with TV wall mounting and add sound later.

What to send us

Getting a quote for a home cinema

Every room is different, so there’s no fixed price for a home cinema. The quickest way to a clear quote is to tell us the size and shape of the room, where you’d like the screen, where you sit, and any kit you already own or have your eye on. A few photos help a lot.

If it’s part of a build or renovation, let us know what stage it’s at. Getting in before the plasterboard goes up makes everything easier and tidier.

FAQs

Home cinema questions

No. Most of the systems we fit are in ordinary living rooms. A dedicated room lets you go further with the sound and the lighting, but a well-planned living room setup can sound excellent.
Yes. In a finished room we look at routes under floors, behind skirting and through ceilings to keep the cables out of sight, and tell you upfront where that isn’t possible.
As early as you can, ideally before first fix on a build or renovation. That’s when cables can go almost anywhere without any making good afterwards.
Yes. We’re happy to talk through screens, soundbars, speakers and receivers before you buy, so the kit suits the room.
Yes. We install screens and sound in business premises, and can pre-wire before you move in so you’re not working around an installation once you’re open.
