The service
Originally set up for in-house servicing of our own products, we will now also carry out an assessment, repair or service for any product that you have purchased from Richer Sounds (past or present). Our policy is to offer a quick reliable repair service which is good value for money. Each job is individually assessed so we do not have target prices or quotas to comply with that may adversely affect you. Please read below for further details.
We operate within industry standard guidelines and, as a company, we are well aware that no one enjoys a product failure, so it is our aim to reduce the inconvenience to you as far as possible and keep your costs as low as possible. If, however, we believe you would be best served by replacing your unit, we will say so and we have very helpful, knowledgeable and experienced staff in all of our stores who can assist you in such an instance.
While your unit is in our possession please be assured that we will take care of it as if it was our own. Each store has its own supplies of custom-made packaging to protect your repair while in transport and in our workshop. Our team of engineers collectively have over 100 years of experience in handling customers' units, plus we have specialist equipment in each of our workshops to protect and support your equipment.

* Some brands (e.g. Arcam, Naim, Audiolab, etc) offer a fixed price repair service for carrying out repairs to their models, which will be reflected in the initial charge amount. For any Sonos product repairs, please contact Sonos directly on 0800 026 1526. Please ask in-store for further details.
A quote to complete your repair will then be prepared and you will be contacted to approve this.
This initial charge is non-refundable, and covers any packaging and transportation costs (to and from our service location) and also covers our engineer's time spent looking at and assessing your repair. If we feel we can complete the repair by using only a small number of general components we will complete the repair within the prices shown above.
If, however, we have to order specialist parts to complete the repair to your unit, we will prepare an estimate for you to approve. Generally this is done by telephone, but in any instance we are unable to contact you or leave you a message we may write to or email you instead.
Please remember that when replacing parts, it is possible that a unit may require multiple parts, but this may not become apparent until the first ones have been fitted and your unit tested, which means we may need to revise your initial estimate for your approval.
The Team
We have a team of four fully trained and extremely experienced service engineers who have second-to-none technical back-up provided by some of the world’s leading manufacturers. Training courses are regularly attended with major manufacturers so we are always bang up to date on the latest developments and, with having such direct contacts, we can obtain spare parts that others cannot.
You can take your item to any of our stores around the UK where we can ship it to our engineering centre. However, if for any reason you are not able to visit one of our stores you can also contact our national call centre on 0333 900 0094 or email [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help you.
The HQ
The Service headquarters and Service Centre are located at Richer Sounds offices and our warehouse in Manchester. We will always do our utmost to ensure you are kept informed of the progress as we have dedicated colleagues providing our customers with regular updates
