Recommendations for South East AV Installer

[MuffinCat]

Hi all,

 

I've been tasked with locating an installer for a very simple audio system for a small-ish, open-plan primary school meeting area / hall. The school is in west Kent so we're looking for installers who will operate in that region. The building has not yet been constructed, so we're also looking for a company who have the acoustic knowledge and confidence to take on this sort of work from plans (and discussion).

 

Google yields plenty of potential company results (see below for a sample), but quality control is a concern. We were hoping to find 3 to quote in detail for the work, but would like to narrow this down with some recommendations if possible.

 

If anyone has companies that they would recommend for this kind of work in this region (or any that they wouldn't!) that would be extremely helpful!

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Paul

I've used Hugh Symons for all of my schools for the last 10+ years and only had one or two issues which they've always resolved for us.

Another couple for your list:

 

NCS Technology and Limelite Lighting

 

Both have been great for me in the past and located in the South East.

I have used VeryPC, Cdec, stonecomputers and Cavendish comms in the past.

+1 for Limelite. Based in Goudhurst if I remember correctly.

We've used KPMS for Various Hall/Sports Hall projector/av install projects and they've been great. They also do all your usual classroom AV Stuff as well.

 

Regards,

Dean.

I endorse that - we have always been happy with their service

Thanks for the continued responses. Really are very, very useful to us (and perhaps others in the future). Appreciate all the help!

I have no hesitation in recommending GV Multimedia - they're our primary supplier and we have a great working relationship with the local team. Your local office is Hounslow but I'd bet there are local guys who will come on site and work with your architects and other suppliers. Well worth a look.
