Since becoming Crestron dealers in 1998 we have specialised in designing, programming and installation of high end systems for large homes, yachts and high end offices. Our systems are reliable, flexible and powerful. In addition to new projects we often take on support and maintenance of systems installed by others. Our designs are modular and can incorporate a huge variety of elements from lighting controls and home automation through to multi-room audio video – we have even controlled fire pits and swimming pools on past projects.
A Crestron system can add convenience and simplicity to your home and life. The central automation processor sits over electrical systems in your home – either Crestron or 3rd party ones – and ensures they work to make your home a nicer place to be. Our systems often include multi-room audio video systems, lighting controls, electronic curtains and heating (and cooling where relevant). All these systems are easily controlled by an on-wall touchpanel, a remote control or an iPhone/iPad and each system works in harmony with the others. Our systems excel in larger homes by easily controlling lighting for huge areas at the touch of a button or automatically closing blinds around the property at nightfall. Our systems are extremely flexible and we love working with clients to design a system which delights them.
Crestron lighting is one of the most flexible lighting control solutions on the market with options for both new build and retrofit projects. Any type of light fitting can be controlled and integrated in to lighting scenes which are easily recalled by tapping a lighting keypad. Clients can easily configure lighting scenes using either an iPad or an Crestron touchpanel. Electronic blinds and curtains work with the lighting control system to create the perfect environment – the lighting system can even close blinds to compensate for solar gain, controlling temperatures naturally.
Our systems are designed with ongoing reliability in mind. We are notified of any issues and maintenance requirements automatically ensuring we can deal with anything before a client is aware – whether it’s a need for a new bulb in a projector or a power breaker has taken some lighting circuits off line. This pro-active approach makes us unique in the custom installation industry – we employ pro-active support which produces happy clients project after project. As a result, our reputation is so good we regularly take over support of systems installed by other companies – working to bring them up to our high standards before providing on going support. The majority of our take over jobs are located in London but we do work worldwide – as evidenced by our extensive portfolio.
We are extremely proud to have won the prestigious Crestron Integration Awards for Five Consecutive years – making us unique in EMEA and awarding us Dealer of Distinction status.
We have teams of trained and accredited engineers available in our London and Cheshire offices – working on designing, programming and installing systems full time to deliver projects we can be proud of. Our London office – behind St Pauls – covers the whole of the South of England and our Manchester office tends to cover Manchester and Cheshire. We regularly work abroad with projects in the Middle East and further afield.

A Crestron system is a smart home system which sits over the top of electrical devices in the home – simplifying their use and increasing efficiency. Modern homes have a huge array of devices from heating and cooling systems through to lighting controls and audio video. A Crestron system provides a single user interface and ensures the systems work together to ensure home owner comfort and convenience. The larger the home the greater the benefits!
We usually install one or more wired touchpanel in every job. iPads are great to use as remote controls but a wired touchpanel is always in the same place, doesn’t suffer from any wireless or update issues and can’t be dropped and damaged. We have a variety of panel sizes to choose from – 7″ (TSW-752) and 10″ (TSW-1052) through to 20″ (TSD-2020) and generally the bigger the panel the easier it is to use.
In our higher end installations every room may be equipped with a touchpanel as this allows intercom around the home – “Call the kitchen” etc – and also allows panels to call users – “Call Dad”. Touchpanels can also fully integrate with security systems showing CCTV, which rooms are occupied and alarm status. A single touchpanel can allow easy control of any electrical device in the home – they are very powerful things!
Yes – we regularly quote against equipment kit lists and ship Crestron equipment around the UK and the world. We also have accounts with most major players in the home automation and entertainment industry so can quote and supply equipment required for a full project. In addition to supply only we can help design, document and program your system by working off planning drawings. We have accounts with high end logistics companies which ensure we can reliably send products around the world.
A Crestron Home Automation System can encompass many things, from a simple single room control system (in a home cinema for example) through to a multiple building control system which is handling Audio Video, Lighting Control and Heating & AirConditioning. The smaller system may have £4,000 worth of hardware installed where as the latter system may have hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of hardware installed. As a company we don’t have a minimum project cost, as long as the project has enough budget to be designed and installed well we will get involved. The best way to get an estimate of costings for your project is to view our case studies and see if one broadly matches your requirements then get in touch and we can discuss the options.
