Smart Home and Home Cinema Installation in Hampton-in-Arden
Hampton-in-Arden is a historic village in the Green Belt between Solihull, Coventry and Birmingham. Our base at Honiley is about eight miles away, so we are never far.

Getting more from the house you have
The village sits on a hill above the Arden plain, with a conservation area at its centre. Its listed buildings include the Grade I parish church, Hampton Manor, a row of 1868 houses on the High Street and several farmhouses. The village also lies in the Green Belt wedge known as the Meriden Gap.
For many households, that points to one approach: improve the house you have rather than build a bigger one. Planning rules tend to limit large extensions, so the best value often comes from making existing rooms work harder.
- A media wall can hold the TV, speakers, lighting and equipment in one neat piece, and hide the cables. See media walls and integrated furniture.
- A cinema room can be created from a spare bedroom, a garage conversion or an outbuilding. Our home cinema page explains how we design them.
- Multi-room audio can fill the kitchen, lounge and garden with music, controlled from your phone or a wall keypad.
- Lighting scenes from Lutron change how every room feels, and motorised blinds close at dusk.
Adding technology to an existing home
Fitting new technology into an existing home is well within our scope. We use a mix of wired and wireless products. Cables go where they can be hidden, and wireless devices fill the gaps. Before any work begins, you receive a drawing of every route and a clear list of what each device does.
Older and listed properties need extra care. We use concealed or flush equipment, avoid damaging original features and tell you if an external change may need consent.
One system, one app
Control4 brings lighting, music, heating, TV and cameras into one app, so the household uses one interface rather than six. CCTV and alarms can be added, with camera views on the TV and phone, and Wi-Fi can be planned to reach the garden and outbuildings.
Our own engineers install and test everything, and we can work evenings and weekends where that helps. Afterwards, support plans are available for ongoing care.
We also work across Solihull. Take a look at our page on home cinema and Control4 in Solihull. Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Google reviews.
Looking after the house when you are away
The village is close to the M42 and the airport, and many households travel for work or holidays. With Control4 and CCTV set up properly, you can check cameras, adjust the heating and switch lights from your phone, and lighting schedules can make the house look lived in. Remote access also lets us look at a fault without waiting for a visit, where the system allows it.
Questions we get asked
Can you add smart technology to a house that is already built?
Yes. Wireless lighting control, Wi-Fi upgrades, multi-room audio and media walls can all be added with little disruption. We explain what is practical at the survey.
Can a spare room become a cinema?
Often, yes. We check size, ceiling height, light and sound at the survey, then design the room to suit.
Is the system easy to use day to day?
It should be. We set up simple keypads and app buttons, such as "Cinema" or "Goodnight", and show everyone how they work.
How close are you for support?
Hampton-in-Arden is about eight miles from our base, so follow-up visits are straightforward.
