Home Cinema and Control4 Smart Homes in Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon has the kind of houses that suit a proper cinema room: Edwardian villas with cellars, converted outbuildings and big family homes in the surrounding countryside. We design, install and support home cinemas, Control4 smart homes, multi-room audio, Wi-Fi and security for Stratford households. Our base at Honiley is about 15 miles away.

Each job begins with a free consultation, either at your home or by video call.

Houses in and around Stratford

Close to the town centre, the Avenue Road area is a conservation area of late-Victorian and Edwardian villas. The Old Town has much older timber-framed buildings, some of them listed. Outside the centre there are larger houses, barn conversions and newer homes.

A few points follow from that:

  • Edwardian villas often have cellars, large reception rooms and attic space. Each suits a cinema or music room, and we can plan cables before decorating starts.
  • Timber-framed and listed homes need careful routes. We use concealed speakers and wireless links so that very little shows.
  • Barn conversions and outbuildings are ideal for a cinema, but they need a good network link back to the house. We design that connection as part of the project.
  • Homes you are often away from benefit from cameras, a wireless alarm and remote access, so you can check the house from your phone.

What we install

Cinema rooms. A dedicated room gives the best sound and picture. A typical room includes 4K laser projection or a large screen, Dolby Atmos or DTS:X audio, acoustic treatment and blackout blinds linked to the lighting. See our home cinema page and cinema seating.

Whole-house control. Control4 ties lighting, music, heating, TV and cameras together. With Lutron lighting and shading, a single "Cinema" button can dim the lights, close the blinds and start the film.

Network and security. Wi-Fi that reaches the garden and the outbuilding, and CCTV and alarms that sit on the same network.

Music, light and entertaining

A Stratford house often has large windows and generous reception rooms, and they are made for entertaining. With multi-room audio, music can follow guests from the kitchen to the garden. With Lutron shading, blinds on tall windows can close automatically at dusk or when the sun hits the screen. Lighting scenes change a room from a family space to a dinner party in one touch.

From first call to handover

  1. We visit, or video call, and ask how you want to use each room.
  2. You receive a written proposal with equipment, layouts and cable routes.
  3. Our engineers install and test. Evening and weekend work can be arranged for occupied homes.
  4. We hand over, show you how everything works and offer a support plan.

If you are working with an architect or builder, bring us in at the start. We give them drawings they can build to.

Questions we get asked

Can a cinema go in a cellar or outbuilding?

Often, yes. We check headroom, damp, ventilation and cable routes at the survey, then tell you honestly whether the space will work.

Will new equipment spoil a period home?

It should not. We choose hidden or flush options, and we do not drill into features that give the house its character.

Can you add Control4 to a house that is already built?

Yes. We use a mix of cabling where it is practical and wireless devices where it is not.

Do you offer support after installation?

Yes. Standard Care and Premium Care plans cover health checks, updates and priority help. Call 01926 934612 at any time.

What does a home cinema or smart home cost?

A Control4 smart home typically costs from about £5,000 to about £100,000 plus VAT, and a dedicated cinema room from £20,000 to £150,000 plus VAT. Our Control4 smart home cost guide and home cinema cost guide give more detail.
