Bespoke smart homes, seamlessly integrated

A smart home brings together different technologies within your property so they can work seamlessly together and be controlled simply. This might include lighting, heating and climate control, entertainment, security, access, networking, automated blinds and curtains and more.

Rather than having a collection of separate devices and apps, a professionally designed smart home creates one connected experience, tailored around your property and the way you live.

A smart home can control and integrate a wide range of systems throughout your property. Depending on your requirements, this can include lighting, heating and climate control, blinds and curtains, audio and video, home cinema, security, CCTV, door entry, gates, networking and more.

The important part is not simply what can be controlled, but how these systems work together. For example, a single 'Goodnight' routine could turn off the lights, adjust the heating, close the blinds, arm the security system and switch off entertainment throughout the home.

The cost of a smart home varies considerably depending on the size of the property, the systems being integrated and the level of automation required.

A relatively simple system might focus on lighting and entertainment in a few rooms, while a larger project could incorporate whole-home automation, intelligent lighting, climate control, security, networking, shading and a dedicated home cinema.

We design every system around the individual project rather than working from a fixed package. This allows us to create a solution that suits your requirements and budget, while also allowing for future expansion.

Yes. Smart home technology can be installed into existing properties, including completed homes and renovation projects.

Where possible, we use discreet installation methods to minimise disruption and maintain the aesthetics of your home. Wireless technologies can also be used where running new cables is impractical.

For larger renovations, we can work alongside your builder, electrician, architect or interior designer to incorporate the technology during the works, providing greater flexibility and a more integrated result.

Absolutely. A new build provides an excellent opportunity to design the technology into the property from the outset.

We can work with homeowners, architects, interior designers and developers during the design and construction process to plan the necessary wiring, equipment locations, lighting control, networking, audio, security, shading and other systems.

Planning technology early can help avoid visible equipment, unnecessary cabling and costly alterations later, while ensuring the property is ready for future technology and upgrades.

Not necessarily. Control4 is one of the platforms we use to create integrated smart homes, but the right solution depends on your property, requirements and the systems you want to control.

For many of our projects, Control4 provides the central platform that brings different technologies together into one intuitive interface. It is particularly well suited to larger, fully integrated systems where multiple areas of the home need to work together.

Our approach is to recommend the technology that is appropriate for the project rather than designing a system around a particular product or platform.

In many cases, yes. We can often integrate existing televisions, audio equipment, lighting, security systems, heating controls and other technology into a new smart home system, provided they have suitable integration capabilities.

Where existing equipment is compatible, retaining it can be a cost-effective way of improving the overall experience. Where equipment is outdated or cannot be reliably integrated, we can advise on suitable alternatives.

Yes. A smart home does not have to be installed throughout the entire property from day one.

We can design a system around your immediate priorities and allow for future expansion. For example, you might begin with lighting and entertainment in your main living areas before extending the system to bedrooms, outdoor areas, security, climate control or additional entertainment spaces.

Planning the infrastructure properly from the beginning is important, as it can make future expansion considerably easier.

The amount of wiring depends on the systems being installed, the size of the property and how the system is designed.

A professionally designed smart home will typically require structured network cabling, power and control wiring, with additional cabling for audio, video, lighting, security and other systems where required.

Wireless technology can reduce the amount of cabling needed in some areas, but a reliable wired network remains an important foundation for a high-performance smart home.

For new builds and major renovations, we recommend planning the infrastructure at an early stage. This gives us the opportunity to install cabling discreetly before walls and ceilings are finished.

Our relationship with you does not end when the installation is complete. Once your system has been commissioned, we will demonstrate how everything works and make sure you are comfortable using your new technology.

We can also provide ongoing support, maintenance and system upgrades to help keep your technology reliable and up to date.

As your requirements change, your smart home can evolve with you. Whether you want to add new rooms, upgrade equipment or introduce additional functionality, we can help you develop the system over time.
