Whole Home, Boardroom & Super Yacht Controls Designed & Installed
Welcome to Custom Controls - the UK's best Home Automation design & installation company. As a specialist installer of HD Audio Video Systems, Home Cinema Rooms and Lighting Control Systems for Residential, Commercial & Marine customers our systems add luxury, convenience & energy efficiency to any environment. We can and do control anything electrical from bath filling systems to advanced air conditioning systems.
High Definition Entertainment - Home Audio Video, Lighting & Automation
Our multiroom home entertainment systems (Crestron) excel in residential properties - Whole House Audio Video systems integrate with CD and DVD servers (Kaleidescape) to ensure you have access to your film and music collection anywhere in the home. 
We design and install Custom Home Cinemas enabling you to unwind at home whilst spending quality time with your family. Security can be integrated with CCTV available on touchpanel's and specific events programmed should an alarm occur. Precise control over heating, ventilation and air conditioning can put you in total control of your environment. Whole House lighting control systems can enable you to dim lights to preset mood lighting scenes and control electric blinds from one button press.
Dedicated Home Cinema Rooms - Beautiful Installations & Designs.
We can provide everything for a custom home cinema room from displays and sources to seating (Cineak) and lighting (Crestron Lighting, Lutron or iLight) - if you can give us a room we can give you a complete custom home cinema. We are main dealers for Bowers & Wilkins Home Cinema Systems and Artcoustic on-wall speakers - complete with custom artwork!
Mood Lighting Control Systems - Crestron GreenLight & Lutron Homeworks
Lighting is by far the best way to show off your new home. Our Crestron and Lutron mood lighting systems employ digital dimmers to recall favourite lighting scenes at the touch of a button or as part of an automated event (like bringing lights on & closing curtains when darkness falls). Digital dimmers save you energy (automatic switching and dimming can save 50% of your energy costs!) and help bulbs to last longer - soft start light dimmers can increase lamp life by three times.
High End Smart Home Automation - Easy Control of Anything Electrical
Our Home Automation systems enable easy control of even the most complicated electrical system. Air conditioning, heating and security can all be brought under the control of an intuitively designed, easy to use touchpanel or web interface. Any electrical device can be controlled by one of our Crestron or AMX automation controllers - events can even happen automatically without your intervention. Automated systems can improve convenience and save energy at the same time!
Boardroom Audio Video Systems & Video Conferencing Installation
We install Audio Visual control systems (Crestron) in a variety of commercial environments - Boardrooms, meeting rooms and lecture theaters all benefit from ease of use and access to cutting edge technology. Simple to use, branded touchpanel's can allow anyone to control a room without training - our customers report fewer support calls. Video Conference (Polycom) solutions allow members of a team to work together even if they are thousands of miles away and it can all be controlled via one button press. Our Commercial lighting control (Lutron, iLight or Crestron) systems are scalable and we install them anywhere from boardrooms up to whole office blocks and hotels, providing convenience and energy efficiency in every environment.
Super Yacht Audio Video, Marine IT & Boat Lighting Control Systems 
Superyachts and boats are the perfect environment for our control systems(Crestron).Audio Visual equipment can be tucked away out of sight with DVD servers (Kaleidescape DVD Servers) providing entertainment for every cabin and saloon. Plasma displays can lift out of furniture when required making the most of your space and adding luxury and convenience. Lighting control systems can allow rooms to have different roles by providing activity scenes - reading or watching a film - whilst still providing energy efficiency and improving aesthetics.
Worldwide Service - Local Support
We operate internationally and have undertaken projects throughout the World as well as most major cities in the UK - London, Birmingham, Manchester (including Cheshire), Edinburgh and Belfast. We like to maintain a remote connection to our systems - allowing instant support and maintenance regardless of the project location.
