We generally recommend a full service every 12 months, though high-use venues may benefit from a six-monthly check.
Stage System Servicing & Maintenance
Keep Your Stage Systems Safe, Reliable and Performance-Ready
At School Stage, we provide expert servicing and maintenance for schools, academies and theatres, ensuring your technical equipment operates flawlessly and stands the test of time.
Whether it’s routine checks, cleaning and adjustments, or fault finding and component replacement, our experienced engineers deliver complete peace of mind — so your next show runs without a hitch.
Why Regular Servicing Matters
Even the most advanced systems require attention. Dust build-up, loose connections or neglected cooling fans can all cause faults and shorten equipment lifespan. Preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repair — and it ensures your venue stays compliant with Health & Safety regulations.
Maintenance Packages
Every school and venue is different, which is why we tailor our servicing schedules to your equipment, usage and budget. Our engineers are fully DBS-checked and experienced across lighting, audio, video and control systems.
Typical service visits include:
-
Full visual and operational check of lighting, audio and video systems
-
Cleaning of lenses, filters, and fans
-
Re-termination or tightening of loose connections
-
PAT testing of portable equipment (where applicable)
-
Firmware updates and minor configuration tweaks
-
Replacement of lamps or consumables (as required)
