Smart home & AV · London, Surrey & Sussex

Cinema, music and light. Made effortless.

Control4 smart homes designed and installed by the family team that has protected London properties since 2002.

01 · Arrival

The house knows you're home.

Gate opens, path lights rise, porch glows. One press on your phone, or nothing at all.

02 · Cinema

A cinema, not a telly.

Dedicated rooms and hidden systems, calibrated properly. Lights dim the moment you press play.

03 · Audio

Music in every room.

Multi-room audio that follows you through the house. Invisible speakers, serious sound.

04 · Light & shade

Scenes, not switches.

Lighting and motorised blinds that set the mood together. Goodnight closes the whole house.

One home. One system.

Designed around you

Whatever the property, the feeling is the same.

Family homes, quietly upgraded.

Most of our work is in lived-in houses across South West London and Surrey. We retrofit lighting, audio and control with minimal disruption, and the result never looks like technology. It looks like a calmer house.

Cinema rooms, done properly.

Garages, basements and spare rooms become reference-grade cinemas. Calibrated projection, proper surround sound and one remote that runs the lot. The room disappears when the lights go down.

New builds, wired once, right.

We work alongside architects and builders from first fix, so cabling, lighting design and networking are planned rather than patched in. The house is ready for anything before the plaster goes on.

How we plan it

The technology disappears. The experience remains.

Featured project

Victorian semi, Wimbledon.

A four-bedroom family house rewired for the next twenty years. Lighting scenes in every room, a cinema in the old garage, Sonos throughout, and blinds that close themselves at dusk.

The owners' brief was one sentence: make it feel calm. Nothing on show, nothing to learn, one keypad by the door that says goodnight.
