Before the job
How to recognise good work.
Anyone letting somebody into their living room has the same worry: visible cables, holes in the wrong place, a device nobody can operate afterwards. This page says what to look for — with us and with anyone else.
The eight points
What makes an installation clean
No cable stays visible
Power and signal belong behind the wall or in trunking, the socket behind the device. A bundle of cables below the television tells you somebody drilled too early.
The height is right when seated
The centre of the picture sits at the eye level of a seated person — usually lower than it feels right while hanging it. Mount too high and you spend years with your neck stretched.
Controls that overwhelm nobody
One button on the wall, labelled in your own words. If guests and grandparents cannot find the light, the installation is not finished, it is complicated.
Technology that disappears into the room
Loudspeakers belong where they sound right, and should not draw attention. Where the building allows it, they disappear into the ceiling, the wall or the furniture.
Calibrated, not just switched on
Out of the box every television is tuned for the shop floor: too bright, too cold, too colourful. An hour of calibration brings more than the next model up.
One system instead of four islands
Music in the kitchen, the bathroom and on the terrace belongs in one set of controls. Four apps for four rooms is not multiroom, it is four separate devices.
The door is part of it
Lock, doorbell and camera work with the same system — otherwise a second one appears, with its own account, its own app and its own source of faults.
Handing over means explaining
At the end the accounts are set up, the home screen is tidy and the remote controls are in the drawer. We leave once you have done it yourself once.
