10. What Home Renovations do you do?

Almost any renovation you require. Home Cinema Interiors has a specialism and a wealth of knowledge and experience in all things sound and vision. 

In addition to this we have a team of specialist trades including electrics, carpentry, painting and decorating and more. Many of our clients ask us to take on whole room renovations, from living areas to bedrooms, office spaces to kitchens. 

Client feedback has informed us that having one company manage all aspects of whole room (and sometimes house!) renovations has proven a stress free and preferable option. 

11. What is your lead time?

This can be dependent on the time of the year and the types of renovations already booked into the diary. We tend to be booked 6 weeks in advance and often have bookings made a few months in advance of job commencement.

It is often the case that we have a window in the diary within 8 weeks of enquiry.

  • Josh and team did an amazing job with our media wall. And there was an existing structure where they created the media wall, so they had to be creative to come up with support structureI am amazed by their execution quality and speed. It’s rare to get your vision turn into reality and this team made it happen. And without any fuss. I mean they are real professionals, the entire process right from contacting them for a quote to the final media wall was very seamlessly managed.

    Sameer Das

  • I was recommended Josh and his team for building a media wall with fireplace and after speaking with him I was incredibly impressed with his knowledge and expertise in building media walls. We agreed a design and Josh gave great advice on what would look good.Josh was an absolute pleasure to have on-site, so much so that I hired him to also build a naturewall with hidden storage as well as build some storage cupboards in our kids playroom. Throughout all the jobs, Josh made sure it was completed to his own very high standards and nothing we asked was too much.I would highly recommend Josh both for workmanship but also just how easy he is to deal with. He transformed our home and we are grateful to have worked with him.
