"I strongly recommend the Big Picture Ltd. They took over a job that had been started by another firm, and the difference was remarkable. They were knowledgeable, always helpful, and offered advice as and when they considered they had better solutions. Delightful people to work with."

Dr Masoud Afnan -- Consultant Gynaecologist

We are delighted with the excellent advice and service provided by you and your company.

All the TV, surround sound and associated equipment throughout the house is working well and giving great quality viewing and sound. The new sky set up is giving us all the flexibility we need and keeping the whole family happy.

Your courteous and hardworking team ensured the installation was done on time and with minimum disruption, also that any disturbed décor was repaired invisibly. Please pass on our sincere thanks to them - we really are very impressed!"

Jackie & Andrew Rumney -- Whittington, Lichfield

"Just a quick note to say what a fantastic job you did on my plasma TV and cinema surround sound system.

Your advice on the Pioneer TV was perfection as it is the best picture I have ever seen. The attention to detail was second to none on installing the TV on to the wall and fitting the speakers all round the room not one wire is on view and I did not have to re-decorate.

To have one remote control is very useful to control the TV, Sky, Blueray, Apple TV all through the Amplifier.

It makes staying in with a pizza and a good Bluray movie so much more enjoyable."

Chris Green -- Managing Director, Crystal Ink Jewellers

"Throughout our extensive dialogue with The Big Picture, their passion to provide customer satisfaction was apparent.

The options discussed for audio and visual hardware were unbiased and the advice given on room layout, lighting and ambiance was professionally considered.

This was particularly reassuring as we had given them a realistic budget to work within, which they dually achieved.

All work was carried out in an efficient and tidy manor, around a flexible time frame, allowing for decorating and furniture fitting.

The system we now have installed performs way beyond our initial expectations and we would recommend The Big Picture to anyone who has genuine aspirations of enjoying a home cinema / theatre experience."

Mr Dave Hathaway -- Managing Director, Pinnacle Packaging

"This home cinema installation is fantastic; it has met all our original requirements and exceeded all expectations.

Initially I would like to say that aesthetically the room itself has been transformed. Previously it was not a particularly inviting room, but now with the design of the centre installation, there is a real focus and purpose for the room.

The system is also very simple to use and to switch between the various sources and lighting themes.

The impact of the projector screen when deployed gives a real "James Bond" wow factor, but what even supersedes that is the picture and sound quality of the system when watching Bluray titles, which is truly breathtaking.

Overall, we are delighted with the design, installation and after care from The Big Picture and believe they have delivered a world class home cinema room on a realistic budget!"

Dr Sawhney -- General Practitioner

"Our brief was to achieve a high level of specification that would appeal to the top end of the market.

We needed audio and video distribution, lighting control, computer networking, CCTV, home cinema and automation. We spent a lot of time researching and talking to several companies about what we wanted to achieve within our set budget.

We were impressed with the Big Picture because they were the only company that took full responsibility for design and installation of the system, other companies just wanted to sell their kit and get the electrician to install it.

The Big Picture team were a pleasure to work with and have helped us achieve superb result with a system that can be added to and enhanced by the eventual owners of the property.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Big Picture to anyone looking at any of the elements that we have had installed in our property."

Andy Colen -- Managing Director, Ashcroft Exclusive Homes Ltd.

"Luxuries do not come cheap. Fact. So when you decide to have your own dedicated home cinema, certain principles are crucial: room design, acoustic preparation, equipment specification, installation, calibration, commissioning, and post-installation service and advice.

The Big Picture delivers all of the above with the addition of an essential ingredient and the genuine secret of their success - an uncompromising passion for achieving the best audiovisual experience possible within the limits you set.

When we decided to re-decorate and improve our house rather than move, our interior designer suggested that we transform our “junk-storing” double garage, into a lounge or home cinema…. as he had done the same recently. When we saw his dazzling example, we were totally convinced about the idea and he kindly put us in touch with Ciaran from The Big Picture. Although I was aware of a few installation companies who could lay cables, hide speakers in ceilings and fit plasma televisions to walls, I hadn’t come across a dedicated custom design AND installation team. And it was to our pleasant surprise that Ciaran took a genuine interest in how we lived as a family, what we hoped to achieve, what building and financial limitations we had and most importantly, he provided essential advice on which factors would influence the overall performance. It was refreshing to learn that something amazing could be achieved by making certain room improvements, without having to spend a fortune on expensive technology.

Ciaran is a visionary artist with an adept knowledge of audio-visual science – so his room designs combine the natural laws of physics and what looks amazing and feels comfortable. Equally, his recommendations of audiovisual equipment are based on field testing and experience and he will ensure that you choose the best performing equipment within your budget. Luke is the technical genius and will be able to solve any audio-visual and connectivity puzzles which arise during and after the installation.

The design was realised by our trusted builder and the garage was transformed into an amazing entertainment centre. It is the gasps of friends and family upon entering the room and the wide gazes and grins of delight during a demonstration which is testament to the project’s success.

So if you want to fulfil your dream and wish to spend your money rather than frivolously waste it… then do not compromise – use an expert team that doesn’t compromise either.

Drs Ghaffar & Saleem, Walsall.

"Our introduction to The Big Picture came from a recommendation which proved to be very well founded.

In a field where we have limited knowledge the options available to us were very well explained and, despite us changing the scope of our work several times, Ciaran was always happy to oblige with new options and ideas.

When we came to the installation, it was done to both budget and time in a very professional manner. The system was explained and demonstrated to us and the after sales service was excellent with several phone calls to ensure that we were happy with the installation.

So satisfied were we with the first job, we are now planning a new project with the company."

Mr Nick Cragg -- Managing Director, Corus (British Steel)

"We enlisted The Big Picture to advise & install a home entertainment system.

The experience from start to finish was superb. They listened to our needs and noted our budget extremely carefully and then gave us various options explaining everything in great detail. Once we made our decision, the rest of the process went smoothly and to plan.

TBP took great care of our home and showed pride in all they did. We now have a home entertainment system that works exactly as we wanted and integrates beautifully into our 100 year old London home.

In time we will definitely use The Big Picture again to extend our entertainment system into other rooms and eventually the garden. We recommend TBP without hesitation!"

Nicholas Tardent -- General Manager, YO! Company & Simon Woodroffe OBE

"What can I say about the Cinema Room Design and Installation that The Big Pictured (TBP) provided for me, well quite simply it has completely revolutionised the way in which I access and view media.

When I first met Ciaran from TBP I provided him with a simple remit to provide a sleek and uncluttered media room which catered for all my family’s needs.

After our first meeting Ciaran provided examples, suggestions and specifications based upon my remit and also recommendations to maximise the performance of the room.

During the build the design was tailored to tweaked to ensure maximum performance and value.

On the installation Ciaran and his team quickly assembled the components and installed the AV equipment in the Media Cabinet equipment racks and as the room took shape it was clear that the remit had been surpassed and the finished product was way beyond the vision I had at the start of the project.

The media room was indeed sleek and uncluttered as required but the design of the media cabinet was exceptional with the built in AMP, speakers, server, SKY, Blu Ray, Gaming Consoles and Sub Woofers all hidden behind cabinet doors.

When the doors were opened the impact was amazing the standard of the install was exceptional, each item of equipment independently mounted within the racking providing a professional and aesthetically pleasing look.

At last the time came for the walkthrough of the finished product, as Ciaran demonstrated the ease of multifunction handset I gradually became aware that watching films and gaming would never be the same again.

The performance both visually and Audio simply took my breath away, I simply couldn’t believe the amazing experience happening all around me.

Blu Ray - Just like being at the Multiplex without the queues or overpriced sweets, I now have no desire to go to the local cinema I wait for the Blu Ray release and know with confidence that I will get a far better experience from my own media room whenever I want.

Gaming - The pleasure in playing video games on the system is multiplied many times and whether I am gaming alone, with my daughter on the Nintendo Wii or with my son on the Playstation 3 the pleasure is magnified by the performance of the media room.

Sky - Watching the big sporting occasions on HD is such an improvement you feel like you’re at the game.

Server - Being able to store my entire CD collection, access and stream it through a separate audio channel when gaming gives me the ideal combination and lets me select a soundtrack to suit.

In conclusion the room is a relaxing place where all my family can relax and unwind; I still can’t help myself from smiling when I enter the room in anticipation of the sensory delights that await.

This installation has without a shadow of doubt enhanced our lives and transformed our viewing experiences."

Mr Russell Patterson -- Managing Director, Mway Communications

"When I decided to do a major refurbishment and extension of my home it had always been on my wish list to have a multi room audio system so that music from different sources could be listened to simultaneously in different rooms.

I also wanted to install a home cinema system, Lutron custom lighting system, hard-wired computer network and have a TV/satellite distribution system installed at the same time. The question was how to get this done.

I naturally went to the internet and working blind through a Google search came across The Big Picture. I made contact and explained what I was trying to achieve and was immediately impressed with Ciaran’s knowledge of the market and suggestions of what I could do. Naturally I was a little nervous due to the way I found the Big Picture on the internet but after speaking to a couple of customers who had dealt with Ciaran previously this nervousness immediately disappeared.

The Big Picture use top quality audio equipment so the hardware cost is not insignificant but I think Ciaran is very competitive with his labour charges. Attention to detail, forward planning and the quality of workmanship is really superb. Every time I listen to music or watch a movie on the home cinema system it makes me smile because the sound quality is so good.

My project was a big undertaking but everything I requested was handled with ease by Ciaran and his staff especially as I could be considered, by my own admission, quite a demanding client! I will gladly speak to anyone personally to give more details about my installation and would be happy if a prospective client would like to view my system if required.

This installation has without a shadow of doubt enhanced our lives and transformed our viewing experiences."

Ian Shackleton -- Director, H Shackleton Ltd Community Pharmacies

"In 2008 I decided to totally refurbish my dental practice. My vision was to create a state of the art Dental Suite portraying an image of modern high quality.

To break the mould of the stereotypical dentist I wanted a TV monitor above each dental chair. I realise that my profession can invoke fear and even boredom when patients are in the chair and this was something I wanted to break away from.

With this in mind I decided to find a specialist home entertainment provider in whom I felt that I could trust with this important project. Ciaran from TBP gave me confidence straight away and his early advice on cabling saved a major headache later in the build. His team understood my requirement immediately which was pleasing as not everyone has TV's projecting from their ceiling.

TBP had some great ideas and the recommendation for white televisions in the surgeries was inspired. The main TV in the waiting room looks superb and is a big hit with the patients.

Ciaran is a perfectionist and this shows in the tidiness of the work and invisible cabling. I am really happy with the job he and his team have done and I feel this has added to the look and feel of my practice. I know for a fact that I have won new business because patients have talked to each other about the "Dentist with the TV in the ceiling."

Dr William Murphy -- Managing Director & Dental Consultant, Newhall Dental Practice

"We are currently involved with a substantial refurbishment of a large property, part of the upgrade consisted of installing a audio system throughout the house to consist of a cinema, plasma TV to all five en-suite bedrooms together with Linked Audio, three reception rooms and outside entertaining space.

Linn equipment was selected and installed by The Big Picture together with a complete lighting control system for the entire house; the refurbishment has been phased and so has meant a complex installation programme had to be developed.

The Big Picture complied with the programming demands and found innovative solutions to multi room switching and facilitated extensive entertainment equipment including a professional standard Karaoke system which has proved to be very popular.

The service provided was at all times prompt and courteous and the importance given to aesthetics of the installation ensured the finished installation was of the very highest quality. Thanks and well done to The Big Picture."

Engineering Scientist & CEO

"Not being a Hi Fi or digital TV aficionado and simply wanting some kind of entertainment system installed in my newly designed loft extension I had no hesitation in calling The Big Picture, who had supplied my Linn Stereo system some years before.

The boy's in the funky green van came in quickly, gave me a quote, which was transparent and well within my budget. They then set about working with the other tradesmen and fitted the new TV and surround sound system with professionalism, no disruption and a great aftersales service to boot. This gave my new room a real tech vibe and I'm pleased as punch every time I lie down to watch those gadget shows on TV!"

Mr Jon Brookes -- Musician, The Charlatans

"We are thrilled with the Sonos system, in-ceiling speakers, amplifiers, subwoofer, home network and internet-streaming service that The Big Picture installed 6 months ago.

It has transformed our lives, our young daughters request whatever song comes to mind and we can play it inside ten seconds in any room of the house.

Parties are fantastic, as our guests rack their brains to find the most obscure song from their youth that they haven’t heard for decades and again inside ten seconds we are playing it. We now have playlists to suit whatever guest, whatever mood, accessible with one touch. In short it has brought music back into our lives. Their installation and after-sales service was great. They took the time to understand what we wanted and specified the system just to our needs.

They accommodated our scope changes, helped with the software and system setup, they made-good after the speakers and cabling was fitted and visually the installation cannot be faulted. Overall, we are delighted and would not hesitate to recommend The Big Picture in future."

Mr John Leech -- Automotive Audit Director – KPMG

"Having experienced shoddy and unreliable services from so many suppliers I have used during my recent house move - I thought I would take this opportunity to praise a company that actually gets things right.

I was hesitant at the start as to how much money I wanted to spend on home entertainment but these concerns were put to rest by end result of your work.

My family and I now have the full cinema experience whether we are watching Gladiator or Coronation Street!

Your staff are knowledgeable and helpful - there is no wiring on show after you fitted my sound equipment and no mess either.

A thoroughly professional company that I would have no hesitation in recommending to any other like-minded potential customer - it is worth investing that little extra!!

Thank you for everything.
