    Boardroom AV Installation Cost UK (2026): Real Price Data

    A boardroom AV system costs £6,800 to £13,200 in hardware, reaching £15,000 to £35,000 installed with DSP audio, room control or bespoke joinery.

    That is a premium video bar, ceiling or table microphones, touch control and dual 75-inch displays. The per-vendor figures below come straight from our July 2026 price book - Yealink at the value end, Cisco at the premium end - with worked examples and the installation rates on top of hardware. For standard meeting rooms, see our meeting room AV cost guide.

    Ex-VAT boardroom hardware from our July 2026 price book and current UK distribution pricing, drawn from the same price book our Room Builder uses. Add DSP audio, room control or bespoke joinery and the installed total moves toward £15,000 to £35,000 - see the DSP worked example below.

    Two worked examples, line by line

    The same arithmetic we use in real quotes, so you can see exactly how a boardroom total is built - one value-end room and one DSP-audio room at the top of the range.

    Value boardroom (Yealink, dual 75-inch)

    Hardware (video bar, ceiling mics, control, dual 75-inch)£6,810
    Installation (2 engineer-days, typical rate)£2,160
    Commissioning & sign-off£500
    Total, installed (ex VAT)£9,470

    DSP-audio boardroom (Cisco + Shure ceiling system)

    Video bar, control & dual 75-inch (Cisco Room Bar Pro)£9,650
    DSP audio (Shure ceiling array, P300, Dante speakers, switch)£11,703
    Installation (3 engineer-days) & commissioning£3,740
    Total, installed (ex VAT)£25,093

    Add custom control programming and bespoke joinery and this room climbs into the upper £15,000 to £35,000 band. Ceiling audio hardware from the price book; labour on MAV's rate card.

    Installation costs, and boardrooms in a wider rollout

    A single boardroom

    Professional installation runs £1,000 to £1,200 per engineer-day, with commissioning from £500 per room - testing, platform enrolment and documented sign-off. A straightforward boardroom is one to two days; a complex boardroom with DSP audio and control programming is two to three days, more where bespoke joinery or out-of-hours access is involved.

    Boardroom in a multi-room programme

    A boardroom is usually one room in a wider estate of standard meeting rooms. Survey, design and project management are shared, so by the fourth standardised room per-room install labour runs about 40% below a single-room install. We deliver boardrooms and standard rooms together as one multi-site rollout to a single schedule.

    What moves the price

    Audio: table mics, ceiling arrays or full DSP

    Audio is the biggest variable in a boardroom. Native table or ceiling microphones on the video bar suit most rooms. Once you need a ceiling-microphone array, digital signal processing (DSP) and networked Dante speakers for even coverage across a long table, audio becomes the largest line on the quote - often more than the video bar itself.

    One display, dual displays or an LED wall

    Boardrooms are usually dual 75-inch: one screen for faces, one for content. A second 75-inch commercial display adds roughly £1,100 to £1,600. For very large or town-hall spaces an LED video wall is a different budget class again - see our video walls page.

    Room control and bespoke joinery

    A wall-mounted, custom-programmed touch panel that drives displays, blinds, lighting and source switching adds hardware and programming days. Bespoke joinery to hide cabling, house the displays and integrate the table cleanly is a fit-out cost on top of the AV, and it is what pushes a boardroom toward the top of the range.

    Installation and commissioning

    Professional installation runs £1,000 to £1,200 per engineer-day in the UK, with commissioning from around £500 per room. A straightforward boardroom is typically one to two days; a complex boardroom with DSP audio and control programming is two to three days of engineering plus commissioning and sign-off.

    Platform and licensing

    Boardroom hardware is platform-certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet. Licensing is additional and modest against the hardware - our Microsoft Teams Room cost guide covers the per-room, per-month figures in detail.

    Boardroom AV cost FAQs

    A boardroom with a premium video bar, ceiling or table microphones, touch control and dual 75-inch displays runs £6,800 to £13,200 in hardware at our July 2026 price-book prices, depending on vendor - Yealink at the value end, Cisco at the premium end. With DSP audio, room control or bespoke joinery the total can reach £15,000 to £35,000 installed, the top of the range we see across real projects. Installation and commissioning are on top of hardware.
    A boardroom seats more people over a longer table, so it needs wider microphone pickup, a higher-end camera or video bar, and usually dual displays rather than one. Those three things - audio coverage, camera range and a second screen - are what separate a £6,800 to £13,200 boardroom from a typical £2,300 to £9,200 meeting room. See our meeting room AV cost guide for the standard-room ranges.
    Dual 75-inch displays are the boardroom default - one screen for participants, one for shared content. In our price book a second 75-inch commercial display adds roughly £1,100 to £1,600 over a single-screen room, and the dual-display configurations in the table above already include both panels. Commercial-grade panels start from around £750 for smaller sizes.
    A full professional-audio system - a ceiling microphone array, an IntelliMix DSP processor for echo cancellation, networked Dante ceiling speakers for even coverage and a managed network switch - adds around £11,703 in hardware at our price-book prices, replacing the video bar's native microphones. That upgrade is what moves a boardroom from the £6,800 to £13,200 band toward the £15,000 to £35,000 range once control programming and joinery are added.
    All five vendors we deploy are priced in the table above from our July 2026 price book and current UK distribution pricing for a dual-display boardroom - for example £6,810 on Yealink at the value end and £13,210 on Cisco at the premium end. Which is right depends on your platform, your room and how your teams meet - we install all five, so our advice starts with your site, not a brand.
    A straightforward boardroom is typically installed and commissioned in one to two days. A complex boardroom with DSP audio, a ceiling microphone array, custom control programming and bespoke joinery takes two to three engineer-days plus commissioning and documented sign-off. On multi-room programmes boardrooms are phased alongside the standard rooms so the whole estate lands to one schedule.
    Hardware pricing improves with volume, and by the fourth room of a standardised design per-room install labour typically runs about 40% below a single-room install because survey, project management and travel are shared. Boardrooms are often more bespoke than standard rooms, so the saving is largest on the repeatable meeting rooms in the same programme - we have delivered estates from a handful of rooms to a 44-room, multi-floor building under one design standard.
    Managed support runs from £500 per room per year, with higher tiers for boardrooms that carry professional audio, DSP or custom control programming - those systems have more that can drift and benefit from room-health monitoring through platforms like UMA and Utelogy. See our support packages page for the tier breakdown.
