HOME AUTOMATION
Home automation is becoming increasingly popular as technology advances, making homes more convenient, secure, and efficient. There are many reasons why someone might want to invest in smart home technology, from saving time and energy to improving safety and comfort.
One of the biggest advantages of home automation is convenience. Smart devices like voice assistants, smart thermostats, and automated lighting systems allow homeowners to control their environment with a simple voice command, touch panels or smartphone app. Whether it’s adjusting the temperature, turning off the lights, or locking the doors remotely, automation simplifies daily routines.
Another major benefit is energy efficiency. Smart thermostats, for example, learn a homeowner’s schedule and adjust heating and cooling settings to reduce energy waste. Automated lighting can turn off when no one is in a room, and smart power management can cut power to unused devices. Over time, these small adjustments lead to significant savings on energy bills.
​
Security is also a key reason people invest in home automation. Smart security cameras, video doorbells, and motion sensors provide real-time monitoring and alerts. Homeowners can check on their property from anywhere, deterring burglars and ensuring peace of mind.
Finally, home automation enhances comfort and entertainment. Speakers can play music in any room. A media room or cinema room can be controlled by one remote or touchscreen, for simple and intuitive operation. Lights, curtains and blinds can all be triggered by time of day, light level or whenever you want to watch a movie. In short, home automation offers a seamless, connected experience that improves daily life in numerous ways.
Cinema & Media Rooms
A cinema or media room offers immersive entertainment, making it an appealing addition to any home. It provides the perfect environment to enjoy movies, TV shows, sports, and gaming with high-quality audio and visuals that replicate or even surpass the experience of a commercial theatre.
Beyond the technology, it's a space for relaxation, family bonding, and hosting friends, creating a private escape where distractions are minimized. Whether you're a film enthusiast, a gamer, or simply love entertaining, a cinema room adds comfort, convenience, and value to your lifestyle and property.
If you have a spare room or garage that could be converted to a dedicated cinema, we have years of experience to call upon to build your dream. Alternatively, media rooms, with their multi-purpose nature, are becoming increasingly popular with people who want the performance of a home cinema but do not have a room spare to convert into a single use space.
Lighting Control
Lighting control systems add significant value to a home by enhancing both convenience and energy efficiency. With the ability to adjust lighting levels, colors, and schedules, homeowners can create the perfect ambiance for any occasion while optimising energy use.
These systems also contribute to security by allowing lights to be programmed to turn on and off at specific times, giving the appearance that someone is home even when the house is empty. In addition, modern lighting control systems can be integrated with smart home technology, enabling remote control via smartphones or voice assistants.
This blend of practicality, energy savings, and technological sophistication not only improves day-to-day living but can also increase a home’s resale value by appealing to buyers looking for smart, efficient living spaces. We offer solutions from Rako, Control4, KNX and Lutron — both wired and wireless — which are retrofittable to an existing property without major works.
Security
Installing CCTV and alarm systems is a smart and proactive way to protect your home and loved ones. These systems act as strong deterrents against theft, vandalism and other criminal activities, making your property less attractive to potential intruders. Beyond security, these systems also offer peace of mind — whether you're at home, at work, or on holiday —knowing that your property is being actively monitored and protected.
We can also tie in motion detection, numberplate recognition and alarm sensors to a home automation system to add even more value. Whether it is turning some lights on as your car approaches or opening your blinds when you unset the alarm, we are always happy to discuss ideas.
Networking & WiFi
Hiring a specialist to improve your home network and Wi-Fi can make a significant difference in performance, reliability, and security. As our homes become increasingly connected — with smart devices, streaming services, remote work and online gaming — standard router setups often fall short. We can assess your space, eliminate dead zones, optimise bandwidth distribution and implement advanced solutions like mesh networks or access points tailored to your layout. They can also safeguard your network against security threats and ensure smooth performance across all devices. Rather than struggling with frustrating slow speeds or unreliable connections, we can ensure that your home network runs efficiently and meets the demands of modern digital life.
