What digital signage installation costs
Installation labour and cabling typically run £150 to £600 per screen. A single screen supplied and installed lands at £500 to £4,000 depending on size and complexity, and multi-screen rollouts bring the per-screen figure down sharply because design, network setup and CMS configuration are shared across the estate.
| Installation type | Typical cost | Typical timescale |
|---|---|---|
| Installation labour only (per screen) | £150 to £600 | 2 to 4 hours |
| Single screen, supplied and installed | £500 to £4,000 | Half a day |
| Small multi-screen site (1 to 4 screens) | £2,000 to £6,000 | 1 to 2 days |
| Video wall (tiled LCD) | £6,000 to £35,000 | 2 to 5 days |
| Video wall (seamless dvLED) | £20,000 to £100,000+ | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Outdoor screen (IP-rated, high-bright) | £4,000 to £15,000 | 1 to 2 days |
| Multi-site rollout (20 to 100 screens) | Fixed project quote | 4 to 8 weeks, in waves |
Figures are typical UK ranges including mounting and cabling; CMS subscriptions run £15 to £40 per screen per month on top. A site survey turns these into a fixed price with no hidden extras.
How we install digital signage
Site survey
We check wall construction, power, network routes, sight lines and daylight glare, free and without obligation.
Fixed-price design
Screen positions, hardware list and cable routes in a fixed quote. No scope creep, no surprises on the day.
Pre-staging
Players imaged, screens bench-tested and CMS profiles loaded in our warehouse before anyone arrives on site.
Installation
Mounting, tidy cabling and connection by our own engineers, scheduled around your opening hours.
Commissioning & training
CMS configured, content loaded, screens calibrated and your team trained to run it day to day.
What we install
Commercial-grade hardware only, from Samsung, LG, Philips, Sharp/NEC and Sony, rated for 16/7 or 24/7 duty. Consumer TVs fail early in commercial use, so we do not fit them.
Indoor advertising & menu screens
Portrait and landscape commercial displays for retail, hospitality and QSR, with dayparted content scheduling.
Office & internal comms screens
Reception welcome screens, KPI dashboards, meeting-room availability and staff communications networks.
Video walls
Tiled LCD and seamless dvLED for receptions, lobbies, control rooms and flagship retail.
Outdoor & window-facing screens
IP-rated enclosures and 2,500 to 5,000 nit high-brightness panels that stay readable in direct sun.
Interactive kiosks & wayfinding
Touch totems and directory screens for hospitals, campuses, shopping centres and large offices.
Media players & CMS
BrightSign, System-on-Chip and PC players, enrolled into MagicInfo, ScreenCloud, Yodeck or your chosen platform.
Screens, players and kits are supplied through our AV equipment supply service. For wider AV projects, see our AV installation service.
Digital signage installers across the UK
Installations are run from our South East head office by our own project managers and engineers, with vetted partner engineers based in the main commercial centres for regional and multi-site work. Every site is built to the same specification, signed off against the same installation report, and covered by the same support contract afterwards.
Accreditations
ISO 27001, 9001 and 14001 certified, AVIXA member and Crown Commercial Service supplier, so public sector and regulated buyers can procure installation directly. See our accreditations.
Engineer standards
Manufacturer-trained on Samsung, LG, BrightSign and ScreenCloud, DBS-checked for schools and healthcare, IPAF and PASMA for working at height, with RAMS issued before every visit.
How multi-site work runs
Hardware pre-staged centrally, sites grouped by region and installed in waves of 5 to 15 per week, with a single project manager and a consolidated installation report per wave.

Digital Signage Installation FAQs
Q.How much does digital signage installation cost per screen?
Installation labour and cabling typically run £150 to £600 per screen, depending on wall type, cable routes and access. A single screen supplied and installed lands at £500 to £4,000 including the commercial display, mounting and a media player or System-on-Chip licence. Multi-screen rollouts bring the per-screen cost down sharply. See the full cost breakdown.
Q.How long does a digital signage installation take?
A single site with one to four screens is typically completed in one to two days, including mounting, cabling, player configuration and CMS onboarding. A multi-site rollout of 20 to 100 screens is usually staged over 4 to 8 weeks, with sites grouped by region and installed in waves. We pre-stage hardware in our warehouse so on-site time is kept to a minimum.
Q.Do you provide RAMS and method statements before an installation?
Yes. Every job is issued with a site-specific risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) before the engineers arrive, covering working at height, hot works where cabling passes through fire barriers, manual handling of large-format displays and public-area segregation. We are ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001 certified, and we will complete your contractor induction, permit-to-work and asbestos-register checks as part of the survey.
Q.Can you install out of hours or overnight?
Yes. Retail, hospitality, healthcare and transport sites are usually installed before opening, after closing or overnight, and offices at weekends, so screens go live without closing the space. Out-of-hours work is priced in the fixed quote rather than added later; a typical uplift is 15 to 30 per cent on the labour line only, with no change to hardware pricing.
Q.Can you install screens we've already bought?
Yes. We install customer-supplied displays as well as hardware we supply, though we'll flag it if a consumer TV has been bought for a commercial duty cycle, because burn-in and voided warranties follow. Commercial display vs TV, explained.
Q.What do we receive at handover?
Each site is signed off with an installation report: photographs of every screen and cable route, serial numbers and MAC addresses for the asset register, player and CMS enrolment details, network settings, a snagging list with closure dates and the warranty terms for each item. Multi-site rollouts get a consolidated report per wave, which is what most facilities teams use to close the purchase order.
Q.Who configures the CMS and loads the content?
Our engineers do, as part of commissioning. That covers creating the CMS tenant or joining yours (MagicInfo, ScreenCloud, Yodeck, BrightSign, LG SuperSign and others), enrolling every player, building the first schedules and playlists, loading your launch content and training the people who will run it day to day. Expect £15 to £40 per screen per month for the CMS subscription itself; our comparison of the best digital signage software explains which platform suits which estate.
Q.Do you install outdoor digital signage?
Yes. Outdoor installations use IP-rated enclosures, sun-readable 2,500 to 5,000 nit panels and structural mounting, which is why they run £4,000 to £15,000 per screen rather than indoor money. Planning consent is worth checking early for street-facing screens. Outdoor signage requirements.
Q.Do you install video walls?
Yes, both tiled LCD (£6,000 to £35,000) and seamless dvLED (£20,000 to £100,000+). Video walls add structural mounting, a video wall processor and commissioning over a standard screen install, which is where a site survey earns its keep. Video wall costs in detail.
