It seems he also works as part of groups, not sure if he still does one man stuff.
HTH.

I had this when I wanted bespoke wardrobes, costs were starting at 2K+, so I got my joiner chap to fit some Ikea PAX wardrobes (you pick all the bits/styles, etc) , total cost was £950.

Set mine into the wall, with the fireplace dug out to house the AV equipment. Chased wires into the wall and wall mounted the 7:1 speakers (obviously not the :1).
