Dolman Audio Visual was formed in 1980 by myself, Peter Dolman. I served my apprenticeship as a service engineer with a small independent retailer and later on in my career saw life as a technician with one of the largest UK service organisations. In between these contrasting jobs, I had the opportunity to work as a Television Development Engineer with a leading British set manufacturer.
Many owners ask us if it is prudent to have their product repaired, which in itself is a perfectly reasonable question. Of course everyone is price conscious to some degree so it is useful to look at what constitutes a worthwhile repair, and what factors influence the viability and longevity of the product in question.
There are a number of excellent products with which we are particularly familiar and successful, yet the owner sometimes surprises us by saying that he or she has experienced difficulty when seeking a reliable repair. By listing some of these 'well worth repair products', we hope we may convince those owners that we are the people able and competent to solve your problems!
Are you reluctant to be fobbed off with so - called universal remotes which need programming and don't operate YOUR unit fully (if at all)? In our experience these are usually stocked because it is simply less effort for the retailer to carry one item than to establish the necessary trading arrangements required to provide a non-programmable handset that really gives you all the functions that your product was intended to have.
Where possible we use manufacturer's genuine spares. If a viable equivalent is available more cheaply we would give you the option to decide on which to use (eg laser pickups), together with our own opinion. If the part is not available we will attempt to source an alternative based on the criteria of matching or exceeding the specification of the original component, advising you of this.

Peter has recently repaired my two Meridian 557 power amps. The level of service, professionalism and quality of service are unparalleled. Peter is the consummate professional with many years of experience. A word of warning - he will not be rushed!! But it is worth the wait and the level of care and attention he dedicates to each item is remarkable. Thank you Peter! My system is quite literally singing once again. I’m very grateful to you and recommend you unreservedly.

Dolman Audio Visual provide a top quality professional diagnostics and repair service across a broad range of legacy and modern electrical equipment. My Revox Reel-to-Reel tape recorder has just returned in tip top condition after receiving a quality repair and thorough service and now sounds every bit as good as new. Very Very Highly Recommended.

A pretty unique service. I don't know of another set up like that operated here. Indeed people from all over the Country and farther afield, search this establishment out on various forums and when they find it bring their various items by hand to it. If you have a unique piece of electronics kit, such as an amplifier, record deck, speaker, television from either a long past era or recent times and it has developed a fault, the chances are it can lovingly be brought back to peak working order here. Good honest service at a reasonable cost.
