We have been working with them regularly for over a year now and cannot fault the experience from start to finish. It’s amazing to have multiple different rooms and layouts for different content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Haven't found what you're looking for? We're here to help.

How do I book a studio?

Accordion open / close icon

Choose the studio that suits your project, select a date and time, then complete your booking online. You'll create an account during checkout, making it easy to manage bookings, access invoices and view everything in one place.

Do I need production experience?

Accordion open / close icon

Not at all. Every studio can be booked self-service, and we've designed the spaces to be straightforward to use. If you'd prefer an extra pair of hands, we can provide anything from a studio operator to full production support.

Do you offer memberships?

Accordion open / close icon

Yes. Membership rewards clients who use the studios regularly. Your membership level is based on how much you spent with us the previous month, and the matching tier discount is then applied throughout the following month.

Can anyone book UPL Studios?

Accordion open / close icon

Yes. Our studios are open to everyone, whether you're an individual creator, freelancer, agency or business. Just create an account and book online. In rare cases, we may decline a booking if it breaches our terms or isn't suitable for the space.

Can I visit before booking?

Accordion open / close icon

Yes. You can book a tour to view a specific studio or see the wider space. If you choose a full tour, some studios may be in use and unavailable to enter, so book an individual studio viewing if there's one you definitely want to see.

What's included with my booking?

Accordion open / close icon

Your booking includes exclusive use of your chosen studio for the time you've reserved, along with access to our shared client lounge, kitchen, Wi-Fi and Hair & Makeup Room. Each studio has its own included facilities and equipment, which are listed on the relevant studio page.

Can I bring my own equipment or crew?

Accordion open / close icon

Yes. You can bring your own equipment, team and clients where appropriate for the studio you've booked. Each space has a published working capacity, so check the studio page before booking or speak to us if you're planning a larger setup.

Can you help with filming or editing?

Accordion open / close icon

Absolutely. You can book the studios self-service or add the support you need. That could be a photographer, camera or studio operator, editing, pre-production, or a complete production delivered from start to finish.

How do cancellations and rescheduling work?

Accordion open / close icon

Bookings cancelled more than 30 days before the session receive a full refund. Cancellations made between 8 and 30 days before the booking receive a 50% refund, while cancellations made within 7 days are non-refundable.

Rescheduling requests made more than 7 days before the booking are free of charge. Later changes depend on availability and may include an administration fee.

Where are you located?

Accordion open / close icon

We're based at 1 Wells Street, Chelmsford, just a 30-second walk from Chelmsford Station, so we're less than 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street by train.

If you're driving, you'll find long-stay parking at Townfield Street Car Park, with West End Car Park just around the corner for shorter visits.

Can I arrive early or finish early?

Accordion open / close icon

You're welcome to arrive a few minutes early and use the client lounge where space allows, but access to your studio begins at your booked start time. If you finish early, the remaining time can't be refunded or credited because the studio has been reserved exclusively for you.

How should I use the shared spaces?

Accordion open / close icon

The lounge, kitchen and Hair & Makeup Room are shared by everyone using the studios. Please keep your belongings neatly inside your booked studio wherever possible, use only the space you need and keep noise down throughout the building. It's a recording environment, so being considerate helps every client have a comfortable session.
