Installer/Sparky Recommendations (Central London)

Hi,

I'm looking for a custom installer/sparky to chase my Av and speaker cables for me in the Central London area. Was considering doing it myself but think it will be to much effort. Basically I need the following done:

1. My plasma is fixed on a cantilever bracket on the wall and the cables need channelling straight down to a sideboard/av cabinet below it.
2. I have B&W MT1's mounted on the wall above the screen on the left, right and in the centre. The speaker cables for these need channelling down to a central point to go to the amp in the av cabinet.
3. I have a further 2 B&W MT1's that aren't mounted yet but will be on the wall oppossite the TV. The speaker cable here needs to be routed back to the AMP and chased/hidden.

All the walls concerned are solid concrete block walls with a plaster skin. There is a connecting wall on the left but that is the same make up and has a large door to the balcony. The speaker cable can't be routed under the floor as its a new build flat with concrete floor, then soundproofing foam stuff and then laminate flooring. The ceiling is false but there are no downlights, just a central light so no easy way to run the cables through that.

Any recommendations for people and ideas on how much it would cost me?

Thanks,

Adam

Re: Installer/Sparky Recommendations (Central London)

Have you used them before and have you got any pictures of the completed work?

Any idea of their charges?

And do you have their number as their website appears to be down?

Thanks,

Adam

I have used them as have many other people on here. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other companies in london who quoted me for the same work.

Site works fine for me. Contact number is 0845 0049545 or email info@xms-uk.com

On the link in my sig are some pictures of the work done for me. It is not complete yet. They still have to install the projector, speakers, amp and living room lcd once I have purchased them. For me they ran the speaker cables, video cables for the projector, and installed the screen so far.
