Wire effects specialists you can trust

rigging service

Safety-led rigging, clear communication, cinematic results

Welcome to Andy’s Rigging, a specialist team dedicated to the art of flight for film, TV and advertising. We create precision wire effects, flying rigs, and stunt rigging that look natural on camera and feel completely safe on set.

Our job sounds simple but takes real experience to do well: move people and props exactly as the story needs, without disrupting the day.

What sets us apart is how we balance creativity with control. You bring the vision, we translate it into engineered movement with clean frames, confident cast, and predictable resets. Every project is led by an Advanced Wire Effects Supervisor with SITAC training, backed by Bectu membership and £10,000,000 public liability insurance. From your first call, everyone involved can be confident that safety and precision come first.

Our approach is practical, fast and focused: meticulous prep, quick mobilisation, and calm delivery under pressure. You brief once — we handle the rest.

Our story – from first wire to trusted partner

Over time, we refined the business to focus on what productions need most: wire effects, flying rigs and stunt rigging that integrate neatly with stunts, camera, lighting and art. Based near Pinewood Studios, we support productions across London, Buckinghamshire, the UK and internationally.
