AV Installation Essex
Home cinema, surround sound, multi-room audio and commercial screens — across Colchester, Chelmsford and the whole of Essex
Professional AV Installer in Essex
Advanced Aerials designs and installs complete audio visual systems for homes, offices and commercial venues across Essex and into East London. Roger Brittain has been doing this since the early 1990s — home cinemas, surround sound systems, multi-room audio, sports bar screen setups, boardroom displays. He's seen and done most of it.
Every installation is built properly. Cables go into the walls and ceilings, not along skirting boards in trunking. Speakers are positioned for the room, not just wherever's easiest. Equipment is calibrated before handover. If you've had shoddy AV work done before, you'll notice the difference immediately.
We work with Monitor Audio, Sonos, Pioneer, B&W, Sony and most other reputable brands. We can supply everything or fit equipment you've already bought.
Discuss Your Project
Residential AV Installation
Most of our residential work falls into one of these categories, though projects often combine several:
Home Cinema
Projector, motorised screen, surround sound and seating — planned around your room dimensions. We handle everything from first-fix wiring to final calibration. More on home cinema.
Surround Sound
5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems using Monitor Audio in-wall, in-ceiling and floor-standing speakers. All wiring concealed. Dolby Atmos configurations available.
Multi-Room Audio
Sonos systems with hardwired ceiling speakers in every room. Control your music from your phone. We do the network wiring and calibration — you just hit play.
Soundbar & TV Audio
Wall-mounted soundbar with fully concealed wiring. Wireless or wired subwoofer. A well-specified soundbar in the right position makes a significant difference to how a room sounds.
Projector & Screen
Ceiling-mounted projector with fixed or motorised screen. We install the projection room from scratch — mount, screen, cabling, calibration. All cable runs concealed.
New Build & Renovation
First-fix wiring during the build or refurb stage means all cables are built into the fabric of the property. Cheaper and cleaner than retrofitting. We work with builders and decorators.

Commercial AV Installation
We work with a range of commercial clients across Essex, mainly in the hospitality and office sectors. If you're fitting out a new venue or refreshing an existing one, we can handle the AV side from design through to installation.
Bars & Restaurants
Multiple screens showing live sport, with distributed audio through ceiling speakers. We design the layout so every seat has a clear view. Cable management and equipment mounting handled cleanly.
Offices & Meeting Rooms
Display screens, video conferencing setups and presentation systems for boardrooms and smaller meeting spaces. Clean installs that don't look out of place in a professional environment.
Background Music Systems
Ceiling speaker systems for shops, gyms, salons and waiting rooms. Zoned control so different areas can play different content at different volumes. Sonos commercial, or traditional amplifier-and-speaker setups.
Digital Signage
Screens for retail and hospitality environments displaying menus, promotions or information. Commercial-grade screens rated for extended hours. Content management options available.

How We Work
Roger visits your property or venue to assess the space and understand what you want from the system. He'll look at room dimensions, wall and ceiling construction, existing cabling and your equipment preferences. No charge, no obligation.
You'll receive a clear itemised proposal covering equipment, labour and materials separately. No hidden costs. We can supply all equipment at trade prices, or work with gear you've already bought.
All cabling goes into walls and ceilings before speakers and screens are fitted. For new builds or renovations, we can carry out first-fix wiring during the build to keep everything hidden from day one.
Every speaker is positioned, angled and calibrated for the room. We test all sources and inputs, walk you through the controls, and make sure you're comfortable with the system before we leave.
AV Installation Cost Guide
Prices vary quite a bit depending on the size of the installation, the equipment chosen and the cabling required. Here's a rough guide:
Labour prices do not include equipment. We can supply equipment at trade prices or work with your own purchases. All quotes are itemised and fixed — no surprises on the day.
