Custom-Built Voice Alarm and Public Address Rack Systems

At TOA UK our technical team are highly skilled in the design and build of custom-made voice alarm and public address rack systems constructed in our workshop in Leatherhead.­­­­­­

From quotation to testing our team work on many specialised projects that ensure the end user can provide safe and reliable systems for their buildings.

Our bespoke racks are installed  in applications from theatres to large entertainment arenas, sports stadiums and transport hubs, factories, office buildings and educational facilities – anywhere where the ability to be able to communicate quickly and effectively with people is paramount to safety and security whilst providing options such as background music.

It is our policy that any system that determines life safety must meet the highest standards.  To ensure complete peace of mind we therefore provide a commissioning service after installation. Once a system is in place one of our experienced and trained engineers will visit site to do final configuration and set-up, test and commission and complete a final hand-over with the end-user.

We also provide post-installation support.
