Lighting & AV Consultants in London
Specialist Lighting & Audio Video Consultancy in London
As custom installers, we design and install high-end lighting and audio video distribution systems. We fully appreciate that a system at our level isn’t right for every home or every client — but we do believe every new build should incorporate at least some forward-planned technology infrastructure. Planning cable routes in advance lets homeowners and developers future-proof a property properly. Working with us early in a project means the right cables are in place to support a wide range of sub-systems later — letting a homeowner install things like WiFi access points, a Sonos music system or televisions in any room, without needing to chase cable through finished walls. We regularly visit clients who have just completed on a new home to find no thought was given to cable infrastructure at all — a genuinely avoidable and expensive problem to fix retrospectively. Liaising with us at the design stage can even become a selling point for developers, and we offer technology packages to suit a wide range of budgets.
Use Our Audio Video Design Experience
As an experienced custom installation company, we regularly take on the Audio Video Consultant role for clients directly. Splitting a project into separate design and installation phases makes genuine sense — our designs are flexible and future-proofed, accounting for a client’s requirements both now and several years down the line. Having us design the system means the infrastructure is specified to a genuinely high standard from the outset, even where the client isn’t ready to install the hardware itself on day one. When the time comes to proceed, the client has a fully documented system specification, letting them compare quotes from several installers on a like-for-like basis rather than guessing at what’s actually included.
Comprehensive Audio Video Solutions
Our designs include full wiring schematics, cable schedules and equipment lists, and we can manage the installation of the infrastructure directly to ensure it’s done to specification. Below is an example wiring schematic produced for a whole-house audio video consultancy project.
Lighting Control Consultancy
One of the most widely specified lighting control manufacturers in the UK is Lutron. Their systems are genuinely flexible — suitable for a single room through to a whole-house installation — and straightforward for electricians to source via wholesalers, distributors or directly from Lutron. We frequently see Lutron systems that genuinely underperform purely because they weren’t designed properly from the outset, leaving the client missing out on some of the most valuable benefits the platform actually offers. Engaging us for a proper design ensures the system delivers what it’s capable of, while still allowing the client to procure equipment and installation however they originally intended — we’re entirely comfortable designing a system where the equipment and installation are handled by someone else.
Frequently Asked Questions — Lighting and AV Consultancy
Can you design a system without also handling the installation?
Yes. We regularly act purely as design consultants, producing full wiring schematics, cable schedules and equipment specifications that a client can then take to any installer of their choosing.
Why does cable infrastructure need planning before construction starts?
Because retrofitting cabling into finished walls and ceilings is considerably more disruptive and expensive than installing it during the build. Planning routes in advance future-proofs a property for lighting, AV, WiFi and smart home systems added at any point later.
Why do some Lutron systems underperform?
Almost always because they weren’t properly designed from the outset — circuit planning, scene programming and keypad placement all need genuine design input to deliver what the platform is capable of, rather than being treated as an afterthought during electrical first fix.
