New installations
A complete smart home designed and built around your life, from the first sketch to the final switch.
New installations. Upgrades to systems already in place. Servicing and support you can rely on. Whatever stage your home is at, we design, install and look after the technology behind it.
Every home we work on is at a different stage. Some are being built from the ground up. Some already have a system in place that’s ready for more. And some simply need a team who’ll pick up the phone when something isn’t working. Whatever stage yours is at, we can help.

A complete smart home designed and built around your life, from the first sketch to the final switch.

Already have a system? We’ll extend it, modernise it or rebuild it, no matter who installed it originally.

Remote monitoring, priority call-outs and an annual review, so your home keeps working the way it should.
Every installation is considered, refined, and built to last. We work alongside your designer and architect from day one so technology disappears into your home. Nothing excessive, nothing unnecessary.
Great technology feels effortless because the hard work happens behind the scenes. We design every experience around the person living in the home. We handle the complexity so your home just works.
You’ll always know what you’re paying, what’s happening, and who to call. Every quote is itemised and explained. Every stage is communicated clearly in advance.
We stand behind a system for the long term, whether we installed it or took it on from someone else. Return visits, annual servicing, and a team that knows your home inside out.
Six disciplines sit at the heart of every project. Around them, whatever else your home needs.

James Hartley Architect · ChelseaThey understood from day one that the technology had to serve the interior, not the other way around. Our clients were blown away — and so were we.
Sarah Morreau Interior designer · KnightsbridgeThe cinema room is genuinely better than any commercial screen I’ve been to. The whole process — from first meeting to the night we watched our first film — was completely effortless.
Mr & Mrs Thornton Homeowners · KensingtonThe people here have spent their careers on projects of this kind, from country houses to lateral apartments, the longest of them for nearly forty years. The approach never changes: the technology is designed around how the house is actually lived in.
Whether you’re at the early design stage or about to break ground, the best time to talk is now. We respond within one working day.
No obligation. No sales pressure. Just a straightforward conversation.
Aftercare
Most companies measure success by the day they hand over. We measure it differently.
A home is a living thing. The way you use it changes: new routines, new family members, new ways of spending time in a space. And technology, by its nature, evolves too. Systems get updated. Integrations improve. Sometimes something simply needs attention at an inconvenient moment.
We’ve thought carefully about what genuine aftercare looks like. Not a call centre, not a ticketing system, not a PDF of troubleshooting steps. What it looks like is a person who knows your home, picking up the phone.
Remote monitoring and support.
Most issues can be resolved without anyone needing to visit. We monitor the systems we install and can often identify and fix a problem before you’ve noticed it yourself.
On-site response when it matters.
For anything that needs us in person, we’re there. No subcontractors. No engineers who’ve never seen your home before.
System updates and improvements.
Manufacturers release updates. Better ways of doing things emerge. We keep your system current, and we’ll always tell you when something meaningful has changed.
Ongoing advice, without agenda.
If you’re thinking about extending a system, changing something, or simply want a second opinion on something technology-related in your home, call us. That conversation costs you nothing.
Annual review.
Once a year, we’ll come and walk through everything with you. Not to sell you something new. To make sure everything is still working exactly as it should.
“Technology evolves. How you use your home changes. We’re here for both.”
Six disciplines sit at the heart of every project. Around them, whatever else your home needs, from the infrastructure in the walls to the interface in your hand.

A control system ties every technology in your home together so it all works as one. Instead of ten different apps and a drawer full of remote controls, you get a single, beautifully simple interface — one app, one keypad, or one spoken word.
Most of our clients are in the middle of a significant renovation or new build, typically in Mayfair, Belgravia, Kensington, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Maida Vale or Hampstead. They’ve invested carefully in every other decision and want the technology to match that standard.
We also work directly with architects and interior designers who specify us on behalf of their clients. We engage at design stage, provide full technical documentation, and integrate with the wider project team from first fix through to handover.
If you’re not sure whether you’re at the right stage to call us, you almost certainly are. Earlier is always better.
We are completely independent. We don’t represent any manufacturer, hold exclusivity agreements, or sell based on margin. That independence is exactly what lets us have favourites: Lutron for lighting, UniFi for networks, Savant for control. We arrived at each of them by installing the alternatives, and we leave them behind the moment a brief gives us reason to.
Our installations span the full range: from Sonos for clients who want something reliable and intuitive, through to Linn, Naim and McIntosh for those who want audiophile-grade performance. For whole-home control integration, we work with Control4, Savant, Crestron, Lutron, Ubiquiti and more.
Whatever the brief, there is a system that fits it, whether the constraint is budget, aesthetic, performance level or the degree of integration required. We’ll find it, explain it clearly, and install it properly.
No obligation. Just a straightforward conversation about your project.
Lighting and window treatments are really one design problem. The way a room feels at any given moment comes from both — how the light is set, and how much daylight is let in — so we specify them together, as a single system.
Specified separately, they fight each other: blinds closing to a schedule the lighting knows nothing about, a dimmer with no idea it is competing with midday sun. Designed together, one scheme accounts for both — and that is what separates a well-considered interior from one that is merely well-lit.
A single tap sets your morning scene: the blackout blinds rise, the overhead lights come on softly, the bathroom warms to the right brightness. In the evening, the same logic applies in reverse. Shutters close as the sun sets, lighting shifts warmer and lower, the room settles without you lifting a finger.
None of that is a feature you operate. It is simply how a well-designed home behaves.
Lutron is the only major manufacturer that designs both smart lighting controls and motorised window treatment systems as a unified platform. That’s not a coincidence. It reflects the same philosophy we hold: light and shade are one problem, and they deserve one solution.
We are Lutron-certified installers. That means we’ve been trained directly by Lutron and can design a combined lighting and window treatment scheme that meets the technical requirements of the most demanding projects — from listed buildings in Mayfair and Belgravia to lateral apartments in Maida Vale and family houses in Notting Hill and Hampstead.
Lutron Sivoia QS motorised blinds and shades integrate directly with the lighting system. Every scene you set (morning, evening, film, away) controls both the lights and the shades simultaneously. The result is a room that responds exactly as you’d want it to, without you having to think about it.
The best window treatment is the one you never have to think about. Lutron Sivoia motorised shades move quietly, precisely, and on a schedule, or at the touch of a keypad. They’re available in every fabric weight from sheer to blackout, and every finish from recessed roller blinds to full-height motorised curtains.
For properties with complex glazing (floor-to-ceiling windows, roof lights, awkward angles) motorised shades are often the only practical solution. We work with architects and interior designers from first fix to ensure the mechanics are properly concealed and the reveal is exactly what the design requires.
Every treatment we specify integrates directly with the Lutron lighting system, so a single room scene, or a whole-home away setting, controls both without compromise.
The keypads and thermostatic controls you interact with every day are as important as the system behind them. Lutron’s antique brass and polished nickel finishes are specified for Georgian townhouses, lateral apartments and contemporary new builds alike.
The six-button scene keypad calls a complete room state with a single touch: lights, shades, temperature. The thermostat displays floor heating and en-suite zones simultaneously, adjusted by a single precision dial.
Every piece we specify is chosen to sit naturally alongside the finest joinery, stone, and metalwork, because the hardware you touch every day should feel as considered as the stone and joinery around it.
Let’s talk about your project before the walls go up, and before the windows are ordered.
Speakers are built into the walls and ceilings, painted to match the room, and heard rather than seen — so the interior you have spent so long getting right stays exactly as you intended.
Every room in the system has its own amplified zone. Each zone can play something different, or you can group rooms together to share one source. The kitchen plays a podcast. The garden plays the same album as the living room. The bedroom has its own playlist entirely.
You control everything from one app, or from small, elegantly designed keypads on the wall. The system connects to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, internet radio, and anything else you already use. There’s no new subscription, no new platform to learn.
Cabinets sit flush with the plasterboard, grilles are sprayed to the exact ceiling colour, and the only evidence of the system is the sound.
The Sonos app puts the whole home in your hand. Every room appears as its own zone (Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Room, Patio), each independently controllable or grouped together in any combination you choose.
Switching between streaming services, browsing recent plays, or adjusting what’s playing in each room takes a single tap. The interface is the same whether you’re using an iPhone, iPad, or the Sonos wall control.
For clients who want the finest audio experience, we also install Linn, Naim and McIntosh systems: the same zone-based control, with audiophile-grade performance behind it.
We’ll arrange a demonstration at a reference installation near you.
We design and build dedicated cinema rooms from the structure outward. Acoustic isolation keeps sound where it belongs, internal treatment controls how it behaves inside, and the screen and projection are specified for the exact geometry of your room.
It begins with the shell. Acoustic isolation stops sound reaching the rest of the house, which is what lets you run a film at reference volume without clearing the top floor. Internal absorption panels then control how sound behaves inside the room — reducing echo, sharpening dialogue, and ensuring every seat is a good seat.
The screen and projection system is specified for the size and geometry of the room, not chosen from a catalogue. We use 4K laser projection, high-gain screens, and Dolby Atmos surround sound configured precisely for the space.
Seating, lighting, and control are all part of the brief. The moment you press play, the lights dim, the screen reveals itself, and the room does the rest.
The best home cinema rooms tend to be in spaces that can be fully enclosed. Basements, loft conversions and outbuildings are ideal. We can also create excellent cinema spaces within existing rooms, particularly where a dedicated media room already exists but has never been treated acoustically.
We’ll assess any space you’re considering and give you an honest view of what it can achieve. Some rooms lend themselves naturally to exceptional results. Others need more work. We’ll tell you the difference before any commitment is made.
Tell us about your space and your brief. We’ll take it from there.
Every smart home runs on the network. Get it right and everything above it simply works. We design and install structured cabling and enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, so every device performs from day one and keeps performing.
A structured cabling installation means running hardwired network connections to every room that needs them, concealed inside the walls and floors during construction or renovation. It’s the equivalent of giving every device in your home a direct, dedicated connection to the network.
Wired connections are faster, more stable, and more secure than wireless. They don’t suffer interference from neighbouring networks. They don’t drop during a video call. They don’t buffer during a film.
In a smart home it is not optional. Every control panel, camera and speaker in the house is only ever as reliable as the cable behind it.
Not every device benefits from a wired connection, and not every space can accommodate one. For wireless coverage, we install enterprise-grade access points, the same hardware used in commercial buildings and hotels, distributed throughout the property.
This is a different proposition from a consumer mesh system. Commercial access points are ceiling-mounted, professionally configured, and designed to handle dozens of simultaneous devices without degradation. Most clients don’t notice them at all.
We use Cisco Meraki and Ubiquiti infrastructure. Both platforms offer remote management capabilities, which means our team can diagnose and resolve most issues without needing to visit the property.
The Ubiquiti UniFi platform gives us everything we need to design a network that performs flawlessly: scalable Wi-Fi access points, managed switching, security gateway, and IP surveillance, all controlled from a single intuitive dashboard.
Every access point, switch and camera we install is monitored remotely. If anything needs attention, our team can identify and resolve it before you even notice, without a site visit in most cases.
The result is an infrastructure that handles dozens of simultaneous devices, covers every corner of the property including gardens and outbuildings, and stays secure through proper network segmentation.
A clear recommendation, in plain language, with the reasoning behind it.
Cameras and door entry are the parts of a smart home you use most and think about least. A parcel arrives, a guest presses the bell, the gardener needs the side gate — each one should reach you wherever you are.
We specify cameras for coverage and discretion rather than count, and we position them with your architect so they sit within the elevation rather than on it. A camera that spoils an elevation has already failed at half its job.
Footage is recorded at home rather than in the cloud, so your images stay on your property and there’s no monthly subscription attached to them. You can review any camera remotely, from any device, wherever you are.
The system is designed from the outset to sit alongside your alarm rather than compete with it.
Door entry runs through the same app and the same keypads that run the rest of the house — so there’s nothing new to learn and nothing extra to carry. Answer the bell from the kitchen, from the garden, or from another country.
Gates and side entrances work the same way, and deliveries can be given timed access so a courier can leave a parcel securely without anyone having to stop what they’re doing.
Alarm integration and occupancy simulation mean the house looks lived in when you’re away — lights and blinds following a believable pattern rather than an obvious timer.
When something does happen, the alarm, the cameras and the lighting respond as one system rather than three that happen to share a building.
Coverage where it matters, discretion everywhere else. No obligation.
We started Luxe Technology because we wanted to build exactly that — and because we believe the technology in a home should answer to the people living in it.
That meant being considered: taking time to understand how a home is actually lived in before specifying a single piece of equipment. Working alongside architects and designers from the start, not arriving at the end to install something that no longer fits.
It meant keeping things simple, and not only for us but for everyone in the household. Technology that works without instruction. Systems that don’t need managing. A home that just does what you’d expect it to do.
It meant being transparent: clear quotes, honest conversations, no surprises. Clients who understand exactly what they’re getting and why.
And it meant staying in the relationship. Not disappearing after handover, but being the same team, available for the long term, because the homes we work on deserve the same standard of care after installation as they received before it.
Hasin’s career began in IT, building and maintaining large corporate networks where attention to detail, scalability, and robustness are non-negotiable. That grounding led to a role at London’s leading AV company, at a moment when the analogue and digital worlds were converging.
Working with the exacting requirements of highly demanding clients, Hasin was captivated by the industry. While much of the world was still reading about the latest technology, he and his colleagues were already installing it — engaging hands-on with systems he had previously only imagined.
Away from work, Hasin likes to keep active, whether that’s a few sets on the local tennis court or a round on the punch bag practising his mixed martial arts.
Will’s knowledge of hi-fi led him into the industry straight after university. Twenty years later he’s still here. For someone who loves music and technology, working with both was a natural choice.
It was the discovery of multiroom smart homes that properly drew him in: the chance to work in beautiful homes, filling them with music, light, and cinema. Today Will specialises in system design, working closely with architects and interior designers to make sure the technology is seamlessly integrated into the home.
Away from work, Will is usually listening to music or playing guitar, or zipping around London on his electric Brompton.
Felix is an industry stalwart whose passion for high fidelity spans nearly four decades. An obsession with audio led him to his first job at a Clapham hi-fi shop in the late 1980s. By the end of 1990 he had joined Audio T, one of the country’s leading hi-fi retailers, where his love of guiding music lovers to the right system quickly propelled him to shop manager.
In 2008 Felix moved into custom installation, managing both installations and procurement for a multiroom specialist, coordinating scheduling, client liaison, and equipment sourcing to keep projects on time and to specification.
Away from work, Felix is usually in front of his own system with his ever-growing jazz collection. Vinyl remains his natural way to listen, proof that for Felix, hi-fi has never just been a job.

“To make our clients’ homes simpler, more beautiful and more effortless to live in, by designing technology around the life happening inside them.”
We work with architects and interior designers from the beginning, before first fix and before the floor plans are signed off. That’s where we add the most value. Our expertise means the technology is considered from the outset, so every system integrates cleanly and every detail contributes to a home that is not just smarter, but more beautiful.
We don’t represent a single brand or system. We specify whatever is genuinely right for each project. Our loyalty is to the outcome, not to a manufacturer’s sales target.
We understand that in a high-end home, every decision is an aesthetic one. We know the technology has to earn the trust of the design team, because it makes their work look better, not worse. We take that responsibility seriously.
We take on a limited number of projects each year so that every client gets the full attention of our senior team. The person who walks your property at the start is the same person who commissions the system at the end.
Every installation we complete is backed by a support plan, and we remain available to our clients long after the project is done. The system you live with in five years will not be the one we handed over, and that is exactly as it should be.
We’d be very glad to hear about your project, whatever stage it has reached.
We know that inviting a new company into a significant project takes trust. You’re making decisions that will affect how your home feels to live in for years to come, and you’re doing it with people you may not have worked with before.
There is no pitch. The first conversation exists so we can understand the project and you can decide whether you want us near it. If we are not the right firm for the job we will say so, and point you towards someone who is.
We will give you a clear, honest picture of what’s involved, what it costs, and what to expect at every stage, before any commitment is made. No surprises, no hidden costs, no scope that quietly grows once the work has started.
Whether you’re at the early design stage or about to break ground, the best time to speak to us is now. We respond within one working day.
We will never pressure you. Our first conversation is always a genuine exchange: we want to understand your project and you want to understand us. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you.
The people here have spent their careers on projects of this kind, from country houses to lateral apartments, the longest of them for nearly forty years. The approach never changes: the technology is designed around how the house is actually lived in.

How Luxe Technology simplified a complex home automation brief for a South of France villa, and built a dedicated cinema room that works just as well from London as it does on-site.
Our client already had a UK property managed by Luxe Technology. When they began developing a villa in Vallauris in the South of France, they came to us with a clear challenge: replicate the quality and simplicity of their existing Savant home automation system, but built for French infrastructure, manageable remotely from the UK, and with an interface simple enough for any guest to use without instruction.
The project spanned four years, from initial design through to full commissioning, working in close collaboration with the client and a local French architect team.
Designing a home automation system for a property in another country introduces layers of complexity that don’t exist in a typical UK project. Power outlets, cabling standards, and control systems all differ. The client’s guests needed to operate the system confidently without any technical knowledge. And the client, based in the UK, needed to be able to manage and monitor everything remotely — reliably, without being on-site.
Additionally, the brief included a dedicated home cinema room, designed and project-managed by Luxe Technology working alongside specialist partners from the United States.
After careful evaluation, we selected the Arteor home automation system by Legrand, which uses programmable smart switches closely resembling standard light switches, making operation intuitive for guests while offering extensive control over lighting scenes, blinds, shutters, and audio volume. The Arteor system was the ideal foundation because it required no specialist knowledge to operate day-to-day.
Throughout the property, we installed small 3.5" touch panels providing temperature control, music zone management, and lighting scene customisation. These allowed guests to personalise their experience effortlessly without needing to understand the underlying system.
For reliability, we employed a robust two-wire bus cabling system. This architecture ensures that core functions (lighting control, scene settings) remain operational even in the event of a network failure. The client can monitor and manage the entire property remotely from the UK without needing to travel.
Region-specific features were incorporated throughout: French power outlets, local electrical standards, and aesthetic finishes drawn from the same Arteor range, ensuring every switch, panel, and socket matched perfectly across the property.
The home cinema room was designed, specified, and project-managed by Luxe Technology from concept to commissioning. The result was a bespoke experience tailored entirely around the client’s preferences, integrated seamlessly with the wider automation system.
The client now has a villa in the South of France that operates with the same ease and confidence as their UK property. Guests arrive and use the system without needing any guidance. The client monitors and manages everything from London. The cinema room exceeds expectations.
Four years of careful, collaborative work, delivered exactly as specified.
When an inadequate ADSL connection and zero cabling infrastructure threatened to undermine a newly redeveloped Eaton Place property, Luxe Technology delivered a solution that kept on delivering years later.
Luxe Technology was initially brought in by a partner company to address connectivity and audio-visual requirements for a client in a newly redeveloped property on Eaton Place, one of Belgravia’s most prestigious addresses. The property had no comprehensive cabling infrastructure — a significant constraint that would have defeated a less experienced installer.
The client needed UK and French satellite TV services, multiroom audio and video streaming throughout the property, reliable Wi-Fi on every floor, and a motorised lift mechanism for optimal TV viewing. Starting with an inadequate ADSL internet connection and bare walls made this a genuinely complex brief.
Without the ability to run new cabling through a newly finished property, every solution had to work within the existing infrastructure. The ADSL connection was simply not sufficient for the client’s requirements — but upgrading the internet required a different approach to how signals were distributed through the building.
Running separate cables for data, satellite, and audio would have required significant disruption to a property that had just been completed. The solution needed to use what was already there.
Luxe Technology installed Wi-Fi access points that run over the coaxial cabling already present in the property, carrying network data alongside the satellite signals. This provided a solid wired and wireless network throughout without any new cable runs — an elegant technical solution that required deep knowledge of the available infrastructure options.
For satellite TV, we supplied an HDMI modulator that splits the satellite signals and transmits both UK and French channels as digital streams over the same coaxial cable used for data. One cable — two functions.
Sonos multiroom audio was installed throughout all required locations, giving the client synchronised audio across the property. Apple TV devices were added for streaming. A motorised TV lift mechanism was specified and installed, allowing the television to descend automatically to the perfect viewing position at the touch of a button.
Two years after installation, when Fibre to the Premises became available on Eaton Place, the client returned to Luxe Technology to maximise their connection speeds. We project-managed the fibre installation and ran new fibre cabling to key points throughout the property, splitting the connection locally to serve each zone. The entire network was upgraded with no disruption to the client’s daily routine.
Six months later, when the client wanted to transition from traditional satellite services to a purely internet-based Ultra HD service from Sky, we delivered that upgrade without disruption, and the infrastructure we had put in place made it straightforward.
A client who came to us with a connectivity problem now has a property that has evolved with their needs across several years. Each time technology moved forward, we were there to move with it — because we understood the infrastructure we had built from the beginning.
A completely redeveloped country property. A barn converted into a Dolby Atmos cinema. A 1Gbps fibre connection replacing a connection so poor the family avoided staying there. And a family who now use it every chance they get.
The client wanted their West Sussex property, then being completely redeveloped, to become a genuinely enjoyable weekend retreat and family home during school holidays. The brief covered smart control of lighting, heating, and audio-visual systems, delivered through an intuitive interface combining voice and touch control.
One requirement stood out above all others: the property had an extremely slow internet connection, and family members were reluctant to stay longer at the property because of it. Solving that wasn’t optional — it was the foundation everything else had to be built on.
A barn adjacent to the main house was to be converted into a dedicated home cinema. The entire property needed a rewire and new data infrastructure from scratch.
Luxe Technology spent considerable time in the planning phase working alongside the client’s interior designer and architect. Getting the system design right before first fix is always more efficient — and here, with a complete redevelopment underway, it was essential. Every cable route, every equipment location, every interface position was agreed before a single wire was pulled.
We designed and installed a Savant home automation system, a modern platform allowing control via iPad, handheld remotes, and full integration with Apple HomeKit. This gave the family voice control via Siri on their iPhones, Apple Watches, and Apple HomePod speakers throughout the property. One system. Every way to control it that the family already used.
Luxe Technology contracted and managed an electrical contractor to run new electrical cables and Cat6 data cabling throughout the main house. The barn was connected to the main house using fibre cabling — giving it the same network performance as the house regardless of distance.
Lutron smart lighting was installed throughout — automated even when the property was unoccupied, providing security presence and energy efficiency. Smart thermostats allowed the client to begin warming or cooling the house before leaving London, arriving to a home at exactly the right temperature.
The internet problem was solved definitively: Luxe Technology arranged a new Fibre to the Premises connection providing a 1Gbps connection, replacing an internet so poor it was affecting how often the family stayed. A managed data network was installed with remote management capability, meaning Luxe Technology could proactively identify and resolve any issues before the family arrived on a Friday evening — without them ever knowing there had been a problem.
Using the latest generation Wi-Fi access points, we provided complete coverage inside and outdoors: house, barn, gardens and the outdoor pool area. No dead spots, anywhere.
Sky Stream units were installed to provide TV services in the lounge, kitchen, barn, and bedrooms. In the barn, a motorised screen and ultra HD laser projector with Dolby Atmos multilevel surround sound delivered a cinema experience that genuinely competes with any commercial screen.
Multiroom audio used a combination of Sonos and Apple HomePods, with the HomePods doubling as control points for lighting, blinds, and music via voice throughout the property.
The client was thrilled. The country home is now used whenever possible by the family, which was, from the beginning, the entire point.
Everything you wanted to know about smart home technology, from the brands we specify to the systems we install.
It depends on the scale of the project. We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins so you and your wider build team know exactly when we need access and what to expect at each stage. Smart home installation needs to be coordinated with first and second fix, so we work closely with your main contractor from the outset.
Yes. We work alongside architects, interior designers, and main contractors from early in the design process. Getting involved at this stage means technology decisions are made before walls are closed, not retrofitted around them.
We provide drawings, specifications, and schematics in whatever format your team needs. Keypad positions, screen recesses, speaker locations, and cable routes are all agreed and coordinated before work begins — so technology disappears into the finished interior exactly as intended.
Yes. Retrofit is a significant part of what we do and we can design systems around any constraints that arise.
In retrofit scenarios we use a combination of wireless technology, carefully routed cabling through voids and risers, and surface-mounted solutions where necessary. We will always be honest about what is achievable — and where compromise is required, we will show you what it looks like before committing.
In some cases, a phased approach works well: starting with lighting or audio and expanding the system over time as opportunities arise during future works.
We design every system with future expansion in mind. The platforms we specify — Savant, Control4, Lutron, UniFi — are all scalable. Adding a room, a new zone, or a new capability is typically straightforward, and we provision spare capacity in the infrastructure wherever possible.
Because we installed your system and continue to support it, any expansion is handled by a team that already knows your home.
All three are professional-grade smart home control platforms. Each has strengths that suit different projects. We specify whichever is genuinely right for your home.
Savant was built by Apple engineers and it shows. The interface is the most refined of the three, and the user experience is exceptional. Savant is particularly strong on AV control and media distribution, and its app and hardware are designed to feel premium in every sense. It is our preferred platform for high-end residential work.
Control4 is the most widely deployed platform in the world. It offers an exceptional range of drivers and a very mature ecosystem. Where a project has specific integration requirements that favour Control4’s driver library, we will say so.
Crestron is the most powerful and most customisable of the three, and the most expensive to specify and program. It suits very large estates, multi-property installations, or highly complex technical requirements.
We will always recommend the right platform for your project.
Lutron is the global standard for intelligent lighting control, and we are Lutron-certified installers. There are reasons they have held that position for over 60 years.
Lighting is one area where quality genuinely shows. We specify Lutron on most projects because we want systems that work perfectly, every time, for decades.
It depends on the number of zones, whether there is a room given over to serious listening, how much hardware the interior can tolerate, and whether we are cabling from scratch or working around a finished house. For most homes the answer is Sonos, and after years of specifying systems at every price point we still think it is the best-judged system of its kind.
Where there is a dedicated listening room, a cinema, or a client who cares about the last ten per cent, we specify Linn, Naim or McIntosh instead, and run them on the same zone logic. The brief decides the system.
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the honest answer is: it depends on the room.
Choose a projector if:
Choose a TV if:
We specify 4K laser projectors for dedicated rooms (laser offers longer lamp life, better colour, and instant brightness) and high-end OLED or QLED TVs for living spaces. We’ll never push you toward one or the other — we’ll give you an honest assessment of your room.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound format that adds height channels to traditional surround audio. Where a standard 5.1 system places sound around you in a flat plane, Atmos places sound in three-dimensional space — objects can move overhead, behind, and around you independently.
Instead of a fixed number of channels, Atmos works with audio objects. The mix tells the system where a sound should be in 3D space, and the processor maps it to whatever speakers are available in your room.
For a dedicated cinema room, Dolby Atmos is something we always recommend. For a living room TV setup, it depends on the room and the budget, and we’ll advise honestly.
Every device in a modern smart home — lighting, audio, heating, security cameras, control panels, TVs — runs over your network. If the network isn’t right, nothing else works properly. It is the infrastructure that everything else depends on.
Most problems clients experience with smart home systems are not faults with the devices. They are faults with the network. Dead zones, Wi-Fi congestion, unreliable switches, and poor routing cause symptoms that look like hardware failures but are actually infrastructure problems.
Ubiquiti’s UniFi platform is our infrastructure of choice across most projects. It delivers enterprise-grade capability at a price point that makes it the obvious specification for residential and light commercial work.
As early as possible — ideally at the architectural design stage. The infrastructure decisions that make a smart home work properly (cable routes, conduit, riser positions, comms room location) need to be made before walls are closed. Retrofitting is always more expensive and always involves compromise.
That said, we work at every stage. If you are already in a build, or in a finished property, we will find the best solution for where you are. We will always be honest about what is achievable and what it will cost.
Yes — and we think it is one of the most important things we offer. Every system we install is one we stand behind for the long term. We offer structured aftercare packages that include remote monitoring, priority response, and annual servicing.
Because we installed your system, we already know it. When something needs attention, we can diagnose remotely and resolve the majority of issues without a visit, and when a visit is needed, the engineer who comes already knows your home.
Have a question we haven’t answered?
We have spent years working alongside architects and interior designers on high-end residential projects. We know how to slot into your workflow without adding to it.
Bring us in at design stage and we will produce drawings and specifications that integrate directly into your package: conduit runs, equipment locations, riser routes, and rack layouts all coordinated before anything goes to tender.
We are used to working to tight programmes, alongside main contractors, and on projects where the finish standard leaves no room for compromise. You will have one consistent point of contact from first fix through to handover.
If technology has already been specified by others and it is not right for the project, we will tell you, and explain why, before it becomes your problem on site.
