TESTIMONIALS

"  I FOUND THE CINEMA COMPANY BY CHANCE.  I WANTED TO UPGRADE MY ENTIRE HOUSE.  WHAT A FIND THIS COMPANY WAS. THEY WERE QUICK, EFFICIENT AND PROFESSIONAL. MY HOUSE IS NOW 'MOVIE PERFECT'. "

SUZI QUATRO

The Cinema company installed a media room for me in a new extension, including a 75" TV, Dolby Atmos surround sound system, Blue Ray DVD, AV Receiver, Sky Box etc. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them and they have proved to be extremely competent and professional. I found them to be very knowledgeable, very good at understanding client needs and making appropriate recommendations, and very flexible in their approach. They worked alongside my builders and electrician and coped with moving dates and timelines due to delays in the building work. Most importantly they have been great at helping me learn how to use the system. No question has been too small/silly and they have happily returned on a couple of occasions to sort out very minor issues and to teach me how to use the system. I feel very reassured to know that they are at the end of the phone and also that they will return at any point if I have a problem. I would highly recommend them - they have done a fabulous job for me and proved to be a great company to work with.

CAROLINE THOMSON

Realising a long-held dream, The Cinema Company helped me create a home cinema in our new garden pavillion. Their team of experts talked me through the whole process, advising me, without any sales pressure, on what features to consider. They suggested the relative merits of a range of projectors and whether, in real world terms it was worth paying extra. Things like choosing a screen which absorbed stray light at the edges, having speakers built into the wall behind the acoustically neutral screen and placing others so there was a 360 degree effect were all benefits of using their experience - things that perhaps the average individual might never even have considered. For a relatively small additional cost, they suggested it would be easy to add network connection and Apple TV and these added to the usefulness of the system and the enjoyment of using it.
Come the actual installation day, the team of engineers worked speedily, efficiently and carefully. No harm was done to the pavillion itself and it was a miracle that no single ( unslightly) cable could be seen when the job was finished. The engineers talked my wife and me through the use of the system and before leaving, even technophobes like us were very happy we could work our new system. 
When a small problem arose a few days later, a quick phone call to the team led to a second home visit and the problem was swiftly rectified. We have had none since.
Overall, I heartily recommend the team at the Cinema Company. All are friendly, approachable and hugely knowledgable. Our family really enjoy using the system they have designed and installed. I honestly struggle to see how the service they provided could be bettered.
