Home Cinema Installer Surrey
Home Cinema Installer Surrey — Design, Installation & Calibration
Award-winning home cinema design and installation across Surrey and the Home Counties. Dedicated rooms, garden cinemas, garage conversions and living room systems since 1998.
Custom Controls are an award-winning home cinema installer serving Surrey from our London office at 88 Wood Street, EC2V. We have been designing and installing home cinema rooms for Surrey’s finest properties since the late 1990s — from dedicated basement cinema rooms in Cobham and Weybridge to garden cinema buildings on Surrey estate properties, garage conversions in Esher and living room cinema systems in Virginia Water and Sunningdale. We are five-time Crestron Integration Award winners and specialist home cinema designers and installers.
Surrey is excellent cinema territory. The county’s large detached properties, generous garden footprints and generous outbuilding provision give cinema designers the space, acoustic separation and construction flexibility that urban properties rarely provide. A Surrey garage conversion, garden building or dedicated basement offers acoustic isolation opportunities that most London properties cannot match.

Types of Home Cinema We Install in Surrey
Dedicated cinema rooms. Purpose-designed rooms acoustically treated from the shell outward, with fixed seating, a large projection screen and a full Artcoustic or Steinway Lyngdorf Dolby Atmos speaker system. Our completed Surrey cinema rooms range from intimate six-seat rooms in Weybridge to large ten-seat installations in Oxshott and Cobham.
Garden cinema buildings. For Surrey properties with space for a purpose-built garden structure, a garden cinema building is the acoustic ideal — no shared walls with the main house, no sound transmission path, complete freedom to operate at reference volume.
Garage cinema conversions. Surrey’s large detached garages — common on the private roads and estate properties of Cobham, Esher and Oxshott — offer an excellent cinema room format. A double garage of approximately 5.5m × 6m accommodates a 3.5–3.8m screen, three to four rows of reclining seating and a full Artcoustic Dolby Atmos system.
Living room cinema systems. For Surrey properties where a dedicated cinema room is not desired, a living room cinema system with a motorised projection screen, premium speaker system and Crestron one-button operation delivers a genuinely cinematic experience — invisible when not in use.
The Technology — What We Specify for Surrey Cinemas
4K laser projection — Sony and JVC. Laser projection across all Surrey cinema installations — 20,000-hour lamp-free operation, consistent brightness and no cold-start issues in outbuilding or garage installations. Read our projector guide →

Crestron and Lutron integration — every Surrey cinema integrates with Crestron and Lutron. One button press dims the lights, lowers the screen, starts the projector and selects Kaleidescape.
Home Cinema Calibration Surrey
We calibrate every Surrey cinema installation — and offer standalone calibration for cinema rooms installed by other companies. Our calibration service uses Dirac Live, Trinnov Optimizer and ISF-standard video calibration. As RoomPerfect Certified Professionals, we also calibrate Steinway Lyngdorf systems across Surrey.
