Servicing & Maintenance

Delivering long-term performance your clients can count on

Preventative maintenance is key to extending the working life and resale value of equipment. We've been servicing our own rental department's equipment for 40 years and understand what's most likely to go wrong and when. We apply this learning to every maintenance contract meaning we take better preventative action and can extend the life and increase the value of your equipment.

What we offer:

  • Rigging and mechanical inspections
  • Equipment and systems management

How much will this entire project cost?

We understand that budgeting for a project is an important consideration. The cost of your entire project depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, required equipment, customisations, and additional services. To obtain an accurate estimate, we recommend contacting our team directly. By discussing your specific requirements and project details, we can provide a detailed quote that aligns with your budget and ensures a successful outcome. Contact us today to start the conversation and receive a personalised cost estimate for your project.

Will we get any kind of warranty?
Arrow pointing right

You will get the full benefit of any manufacturer's warranty, and if you choose to include an Adlib service contract in your project, you’ll be able to predict the ongoing cost of maintaining your installation to ensure it’s as good as it was on day one for years to come.

How will we know we're getting value for money for our space?
Arrow pointing right

We have a lot of experience designing and installing audio-visual systems for performance spaces of all shapes and sizes. We apply that experience to make sure we're choosing the right equipment for the job - not just selling you the most expensive thing that's been sitting on our shelves for a few months.

We'll also help you think ahead and future-proof your installation so you won't have to do this all again in a couple of years.

For example, if you're talking to us about a sound system installation but know you're going to add cameras to your video setup in a couple of years, we'll help you figure out whether it would be cheaper to install some video cabling infrastructure at the same time as installing the new audio system.

Seemingly, small things like this can save you a fortune in the long run.

Arrow pointing right
