About Us

Backroom staff have well over 30 years experience, supplying temporary power solutions for clients all over the world. We like to think that, no matter what your power problem - no matter what time of the day, or day of the year, or location around the world - we can help you solve it.

Anytime, anywhere in the world - Backroom can supply anything from a UPS for a digital recording or keyboard rig to a complete temporary power system for any entertaiment event,  commercial or industrial application.

Whether it be safety planning and execution for the VMAs', or making sure Intels CEO was not interrupted by power failure (15 Years we did this) or providing UPS power for test equipment aboard the prototype for Japan's next generation of bullet trains, Backroom can deliver not only a fully certificated and working installation with the minimum of fuss, but complete peace of mind should problems arise.

Our total commitment to you, our customers, has been praised many times.

They know that, if they ever do have a problem, we can and do solve it.

Our track record is second to none - indeed, in many cases, we have been the only company willing to take on the project, and able to provide a solution.

In the past, we have supplied just about every type and size of electrical & electro-mechanical equipment: a seamless power system for the commissioning of a 400MW power station; frequency changers for industry; generators for building shutdowns; Sync to mains power generation for broadcast studios - the list is endless.

We have never actively advertised the company, relying entirely on word of mouth, (the most difficult endorsement to obtain, and without a doubt the easiest to loose).

Our customers are, and always have been, our walking talking advertising campaign. When you are happy with our service and backup, please spread the word. If, for any reason at all, this is not the case, then please call me personally to discuss the problem — it will be resolved!

We really do appreciate your continuing support and value your past and future business.

Thank You
Laurence Dunnett

History

In 1985 Backroom Rentals was founded with just three transformers to service mainly entertainment clients. We incorporated as Backroom Ltd in 1997 and opened our new office in Rio de Janerio in 1999. Since then, business has expanded to include many different activities - after all, everybody needs power. Our clients require that power is distributed, supported and maintained to a high standard.

Today, our stock numbers some 1200 items of power cable and over 600 other items of power hardware. Head office is 3000sq ft of warehouse in South-West London with full technical facilities on site.

Our continued success & growth has come exclusively from previous customer recommendations and client contacts.
