Services
Sovereign has a team of area managers who will initially carry out a free site visit and discuss with the client the equipment mix, layout, suitability for the age range and all the safety aspects. The in-house design team will create computer aided plans, drawn to scale, a full breakdown of the costs and the installation charges. Installations are carried out by Sovereign’s own fully trained and experienced teams in accordance with BS EN 1176 & 1177. The company can also provide a delivery only service and if required a supervisor can be offered to oversee the client’s own installation process.
