Professional Installer
Force36 is an accredited Sonos Professional Installer.
We design, install and manage commercial Sonos systems for offices, hospitality and retail - built into the network, cabling and support we already deliver, so sound is part of the infrastructure rather than an afterthought.
Accredited by Sonos to design and install commercial audio systems.
Why Force36
What our accreditation gives you.
Accredited installer
Force36 Ltd holds Sonos Professional Installer accreditation, working with Sonos directly rather than through a middle tier.
Pro-only hardware
Access to products reserved for professional installers, including the Sonos Era 100 Pro, backed by a three-year warranty.
Network-led delivery
We design the cabling, switching and WiFi ourselves, so zoned audio sits on infrastructure built to carry it.
One accountable team
Design, supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing management from a single point of contact.
Who we work with
Designed in from the start, not added at the end.
Because we work with Sonos directly, we can get involved early - sitting down with the people shaping the space to design the network infrastructure and the sound zones around how it is actually going to be used.
Architects and designers
Bring us in at concept stage and we will design sound zones around your drawings, keeping speaker placement, containment and finishes coordinated with the rest of the scheme.
Fit-out contractors
One trade covering cabling, network and audio, with equipment lead times and delivery dates managed to your programme instead of falling between suppliers.
Property and estates teams
A zoned system you can hand to an operator or tenant, documented and supported by the same team that manages the network behind it.
Business owners and operators
Straightforward control from the Sonos app, sensible zoning by area, and one number to call when something needs attention.
Spaces we design sound into
Zoned audio for the places people actually use.
Office fit-outs
Reception, breakout and collaboration zones
Sound where it belongs and silence where it does not. We zone reception, kitchens and social space separately from desk areas, wired into the same structured cabling as your data points.
Hospitality
Bars, restaurants and function rooms
Independent zones for front of house, dining, terrace and private rooms, so levels can be set per area and changed through the day without staff touching hardware.
Retail
Shop floor, fitting rooms and back of house
Even coverage across the trading floor with discreet, consistent hardware, controlled centrally and resilient enough to run open to close every day.
Exclusive to pro installers
Sonos Era 100 Pro at a glance
A commercial-grade speaker powered over Power over Ethernet (PoE+), so a single Ethernet cable carries both power and data with no separate mains supply needed at the speaker. Because we are already designing and installing the network and cabling, running PoE audio into the same infrastructure is a natural extension of the work rather than a separate trade.

One team, end to end
On projects where we lead, we take care of the whole chain.
Planning and design
We sit down with architects and project teams at the planning stage to design the network infrastructure and sound zones around how a space will actually be used.
Data cabling
All structured cabling is specified and installed by our team, carrying power and data to every zone through a single, coordinated infrastructure.
Network installation
We build and configure the network that underpins the whole system, ensuring the bandwidth and resilience zoned audio demands.
Speaker installation
Sonos hardware is installed and zoned as part of the same project, with PoE+ audio running into the network we have already designed.
Ongoing management
Once live, the system sits within the network we continue to monitor and manage, so there is one team to call when anything needs attention.
The advantage
The advantage is fewer suppliers and a single point of accountability. You are dealing with one team that understands both the technical demands of a project like this and the wholesale relationships behind it, so equipment lead times and delivery schedules are managed tightly rather than falling between contractors. Where it suits the project, we can also provide connectivity and voice services alongside, giving you a fully coordinated delivery from one expert partner.
