We can help you plan, design and maintain an audio visual system, videoconferencing suite or smart home system for your home or office. We also provide intruder alarm installation in London, TV aerial repair, SKY installations and CCTV camera installation services.

We can supply everything you need for your audio visual installation - leads, cables, brackets and fixings. We can also recommend the best equipment for your circumstances - flat screen televisions, home cinema, media centers, gaming systems, sling boxes, Lutron lighting, projector systems, PA systems and full video conferencing suites.

LCD & plasma TV wall mounting service Our Audio Visual engineers have many years of experience installing flat panel TVs, LCD TVs, plasma screens and audio visual equipment in London. We can mount a flat screen television onto just about any wall and in any space - including plasterboard walls and above fireplaces.

Home cinema system installation We install bespoke home theatres, home cinemas and surround sound systems into homes and businesses in London. We can take care of everything from design, planning, installation and maintenance. That may mean fitting TV projectors and screens, sinking flat screen televisions and speakers into walls, hiding cables, creating sound zones and even installing an entire home cinema suite.

Smart home installations We install Smart Home technology. A Smart home is a home where all the electronic systems are integrated and controlled by one hub. The heating and air conditioning, lights, security and audio visual systems can be programmed and controlled from one point. This makes it a very efficient and easy way to control a house.

Integrated entertainment systems & media centers Depending on your budget, literally anything can be made to work together. From high end control systems such as Crestron and Pronto - to using your PS3, Wii or Xbox as an entertainment hub. We specialise in making your electronic devices talk to each other. From getting your laptop to play DVDs onto the TV in your lounge to creating a home entertainment network that allows your devices to share a network hard drive.

Intelligent lighting & mood lighting An intelligent lighting control system can give you accurate and precise control over every light in a room, the house or even the garden. From one handset, lights can be switched on in the garden, dimmed in the living room and if LED lighting is installed, even the colour of the lights can be changed at the press of a button.

Corporate audio visual systems From installing video conferencing equipment and Public Address systems to repairing sound and lighting systems in bars, pubs and clubs - Multi-Trade can provide you with an experienced commercial audio visual technician to give you expert guidance and advice.

Cable tidying and conduits We are experts at hiding cables. If the back of your television, DVD and entertainment system is a mess or you have wires hanging from your wall mounted TV - we can help. There are many ways to hide cabling, form conduits and tacking to punching cables through plasterboard and even chasing walls. Depending on your budget, we can do any and all of them.

About our pricing model

We use a clear and transparent pricing model.

We are a large professional organisation, with a team of over 100 tradespeople and office staff. We have fully staffed offices in Central London and a 24 hour call center. We only use experienced Audio Visual engineers, Audio Visual technicians and Audio Visual consultants.

We provide quality work. As such, we cannot and do not compete with small unregistered companies or individuals. If you are looking for a cheap audio visual quote and your criteria for purchase is only price - we are not the company you are looking for.

All our work is guaranteed by us and we use only high quality materials.

While we can't tell you how long the project will take until we've visited you at your property, we can provide a model for pricing that we will honour.

This ensures, unlike other Audio Visual companies in London, that we will not give disparate pricing, depending on how much we think you will pay. Everyone pays the same rate.

What to look for when selecting an Audio Visual services company

If you are looking for your audio and visual project to be of high quality, safe, efficient and cost effective - then you might want to take these points into consideration when selecting the company providing you with an engineer.

• Does the company have examples of their work?
• Do they have a professional looking website?
• Is the company looking to be paid in cash?
• Is the company VAT registered? If not why?
• Remember: A company only needs to turnover £60,000 to be legally required to register for VAT
• If they are not VAT registered they are either inexperienced or they are operating illegally
• Will the company provide a fully specified, broken down quotation?
• Will the company provide a contract and levels of service they will commit to?
• Do they have a landline telephone number that they can be contacted on or just a mobile number?
• Does anyone answer the telephone?

While there are many audio visual companies in London, there are also some disreputable ones. It is prudent to ask these questions before committing or handing over any money.

Our audio visual quotations are free, fully specified and come without obligation. We aim to get our quotations to you within 48 hours of our first visit.

When we survey our customers on why they booked Multi-Trade, one of the most frequent answers is the quality and clarity of our quotations. Whilst a lot of companies will issue you with a paper based quote that at best splits labour and materials, we issue quotations which contain as much detail as we can provide, from the materials we intend to use, what we intend to do for the price, and how long we estimate to take. You can tell us your decision by filling in a quick 3 question online form, as well as sending us questions about your quote electronically.

We think our quotes are the best in the business, but don't take our word for it - take a look at the example below to see the detail that you can expect when you contact Multi-trade for a quote:
