Smart homes that just work

Most of our clients come to us because they are frustrated with technology that never quite works:

  • Wi-Fi that drops out in key rooms or garden areas
  • Too many remotes and apps to control simple things
  • Messy cables and boxes spoiling carefully designed spaces
  • Systems that only one person in the house knows how to use

We design integrated home audio visual systems so that:

  • You press one button, and everything works, every time
  • Wi-Fi is strong and stable throughout the property
  • Equipment is discreet or hidden, not dominating the room
  • The whole family can use the system with confidence

High-end residential AV tailored to your home

We focus on high-end residential projects where performance, reliability and finish all matter. Typical systems include:

Whole-home Wi-Fi and networks

  • Professionally designed networks for large homes and complex builds
  • Stable and reliable Wi-Fi coverage in every room, including gardens and outbuildings
  • Hard-wired connections for TVs, office equipment and key devices

Multiroom audio and video

  • Discreet speakers for background music in kitchens, living spaces and terraces
  • High-performance audio for listening rooms and media spaces
  • Centralised video distribution so Sky, Apple TV and other sources can be shared around the home

Home cinema and media rooms

  • Anything from a high-quality TV with soundbar to a dedicated cinema room
  • Carefully designed picture and sound to suit the room and budget
  • Simple control so movie nights are enjoyable, not technical exercises

Smart control that simplifies life

  • Single remote or app to control AV, lighting, blinds and more
  • Custom scenes (e.g. “Movie Night”, “Entertaining”, “Goodnight”)
  • Systems designed so guests and family can use them without training

We are honest about specification. Our role is to recommend what is right for your home – and to tell you what you do not need.

Honest advice, not overselling

As a specialist smart home installer, we see a lot of over-specified systems. Our approach is different:

  • We design for how you will actually use the system
  • We prioritise reliability and ease of use over unnecessary features
  • We reuse existing equipment where it makes sense
  • We explain options in plain English, with clear pros and cons

You get a system that fits your lifestyle and property, rather than a list of boxes you will never fully use.

Our process for Homeowners

  1. Initial conversation

  • We discuss your home, your plans and how you want to use technology
  • We talk through budget ranges and what is realistic for your project
  1. Design and proposal

  • We design a system tailored to your property and priorities
  • We provide a clear proposal, including equipment, labour and any building/enabling works required by others
  1. Installation and commissioning

  • Our team installs and tests the system with care for your home and finishes
  • We coordinate with your builder, electrician, joiner and other trades where needed
  1. Handover and ongoing support

  • We show you how everything works and leave simple user friendly documentation. On most projects, we advise two client demonstrations, one initial handover and a second once the client has lived with the system for some time
  • We remain available for support and offer structured maintenance to suit every need
