Smart home installation in London,by one team, for life.

A starter installation for a 2-3 bed flat — automated lighting, room-by-room heating, and app control — runs £8,000-£15,000. A 3-5 bed family home with whole-house automation, multi-room audio, and security typically falls between £15,000-£40,000. Large or listed properties with every room automated start at £40,000. Every project is quoted itemised after a free survey, and our free cost calculator gives you a ballpark figure in 60 seconds without leaving an email address.

Both. Around half our installations are retrofits into existing London homes — including Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and listed buildings. Loxone Air wireless devices fit behind your existing switches, so original features stay intact and no walls come down. New builds and full renovations get wired infrastructure, which is more robust and cheaper to do while walls are open.

A retrofit installation typically takes 5-10 working days including commissioning and handover. New build projects are phased with your construction schedule — first fix cabling while walls are open, then final installation and programming near completion. You get a named project manager and a clear timeline before any work starts.

Loxone for automation (we are certified partners), Ajax for intruder alarms, Hikvision for CCTV, Paxton for access control, and Ubiquiti UniFi for networking. We chose these brands after a decade of installations because they work reliably together and none of them charge monthly subscriptions. One team installs and supports all of it.

Ours don't. Loxone processes everything locally inside your home — no cloud dependency, no monthly fees, and the system keeps working even when the internet goes down. This is one of the main reasons we install Loxone rather than cloud-dependent alternatives.

All of Greater London and the Home Counties. Most of our work is across North and West London — Hampstead, Highgate, Kensington, Chelsea, Harrow, Northwood, Stanmore — plus Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Site surveys are free across the whole coverage area.

You get a full handover — we walk you through the system until you're comfortable — plus documentation of everything installed. Support is for life: free firmware updates, remote diagnostics, and a team that already knows your home when you call. Most issues are fixed remotely before you'd even notice them.

Yes — they're two names for the same job, and installers use them interchangeably. "Home automation" tends to describe the system logic (lighting scenes, heating schedules, presence rules), while "smart home" covers the whole result. Either way, the work is the same: design, cabling or wireless devices, commissioning, and programming — and this page describes exactly what that involves.

Ask three things of any company you shortlist, including us. First, finished projects you can actually see — ours are published in full. Second, certification for every system they touch, not just the automation. Third, a written answer to "what happens if we fall out?" — with Loxone, any certified partner can take over your system, and an installer who dodges that question is telling you something. Longevity helps too: many home automation companies in the UK are newer than the systems they'll be asking you to live with for a decade.
