Common questions about our AV production, installation, and equipment hire services.

What does KitMapper do? +

KitMapper is an artist-founded AV production and installation studio based at Somerset House, London. We provide end-to-end production solutions including exhibition builds and installations, live events, projection and mapping, LED wall installations, equipment hire, and touring productions. We work with galleries, artists, cultural institutions, and brands to bring ambitious creative projects to life.

Where are you based? +

KitMapper is based at Somerset House on the Strand in the heart of London. Our studio address is: Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LA.

Do you work outside London? +

Yes, we work across the UK and internationally. We manage projects for institutions and galleries nationwide, and our touring production service enables us to support exhibitions and events beyond London. Get in touch to discuss your project location and requirements.

What types of projects do you work on? +

We specialise in gallery exhibitions, live events, theatrical productions, artist commissions, institutional installations, brand activations, and touring shows. Our projects range from intimate artist presentations to large-scale multi-screen installations across major cultural venues. Browse our project portfolio to see examples of recent work.

How much does an AV installation cost? +

Costs vary significantly depending on project scope, complexity, duration, equipment requirements, and venue specifications. An intimate projection mapping installation costs very differently from a multi-screen LED wall installation. We recommend requesting a consultation or using our Smart Project Planner to get an estimate tailored to your specific needs.

Do you offer equipment hire? +

Yes. Our sister brand Kitto (kitto.rent) offers dry-hire AV equipment rental including projectors, screens, lighting, and sound systems. For equipment as part of a managed KitMapper production, we source, deliver, and manage all technical aspects on your behalf.

What is the Smart Project Planner? +

Our Smart Project Planner is an interactive tool designed to help you plan and estimate costs for AV projects. It guides you through key project parameters (venue size, installation type, duration, technical complexity) and provides ballpark figures for production and installation work. Visit our planner to get started on your project budget.

Do you offer consultation services? +

Yes. We provide specialist consultation on AV strategy, technical feasibility, equipment selection, and creative direction. Our consultants help galleries, institutions, and artists realise their vision whilst ensuring technical excellence and practical delivery.

What is your approach to project management? +

We take a collaborative, phased approach to project management. From initial concept through to installation and handover, we maintain clear communication, manage budgets and timelines rigorously, and handle all technical coordination. Our team includes dedicated project managers with extensive experience across arts and cultural sectors.

Do you have SafeContractor accreditation? +

Yes, KitMapper holds current SafeContractor accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to health and safety standards. This is important for institutional and corporate clients who require verified safety credentials.

Can you work in listed buildings or sensitive spaces? +
