Armstrong Audio is a London institution with a long history and a unique approach to repair. Co-owned by father and son, Twaleb and Shamil Joomun, the business has been a go-to for audio equipment repair for 40 years.
Armstrong Audio brings a personal touch to all of their work. Rather than viewing devices as a technical challenge to be repaired, or looking at their skillset in a purely transactional way, they make an effort to really understand the love that customers have for their things. Their on-location workshop is a fascinating insight into how these unique items are repaired and a great way to get to know your repairer. The business also boasts an in-house coffee shop where customers can grab a drink or sweet treat when they drop off their broken device.

“We are keen audiophiles and believe in a philosophy that it is better to repair something you treasure rather than to replace it with something new.”
