Smart Home Installation in Shropshire, by a Control4 Certified Showroom
We design, install and support Control4 smart homes across Shropshire, Cheshire and the West Midlands: hundreds of projects since 2006, from one of the UK’s few Control4 Certified Showrooms. Before you decide anything, come and use a working system in Shrewsbury.
You Don’t Need to Be Technical
Almost none of our customers are technology people, and a well-designed smart home never asks you to become one. If a system needs a manual, it’s been designed badly. The other honest truth: not every house needs full automation. If all you really want is music in the kitchen and WiFi that reaches the garden, we’ll tell you, and quote for that instead. Start with how you live; the right size of system follows from there.

Imagine arriving home after a busy day to the welcoming glow of your external and internal lights, the sound of your favourite music and the temperature you like, rather than a dark, chilly house. We've been bringing homes like yours to life with integrated technology since 2006. Every Control4 system we design is built around the way you and your family actually live.
A smart home puts your lighting, heating, security and entertainment under one control: a tap on your phone, a press of a keypad or the touch of a remote. It adjusts to your routines, trims your energy use and lets you check on the house from wherever you are, so you spend less time managing your home and more time enjoying it.
What a Control4 Smart Home Does
Rather than a drawer full of remotes and a phone full of separate apps, Control4 brings everything in the house together under one system. Press "Film Night" and the lights dim, the blinds close and the cinema starts. Press "Goodnight" and the house locks up, the lights go off and the heating winds down.
- Lighting scenes for mornings, evenings, entertaining and away-from-home security
- Heating and climate that follows your routine, room by room
- Music and TV in any room, from any source
- Blinds and curtains that move with the time of day
- CCTV, doorbells and locks you can check from anywhere
- All of it from one app, keypad, remote or your voice

Why We Build on Control4
There are plenty of smart home platforms, and we’ve watched most of them come and go. We standardised on Control4 years ago for reasons that still hold: it’s one platform that genuinely runs everything (lighting, audio, video, heating, blinds and security) rather than a bundle of apps loosely stitched together; it’s modular, so a one-room start grows into a whole house without starting again; and it runs on a processor in your house, so everything keeps working even when the internet doesn’t.
It’s also a platform that’s only sold through trained, accredited dealers, which suits how we work. We’re one of the UK’s few Control4 Certified Showrooms and three-time Circle of Excellence winners, with our programmer in-house. And where a specialist system does one job better, we use it: Lutron for top-of-the-range lighting and shading, integrated with Control4 so it all answers to the same keypads and app.
Try a Working Control4 Smart Home in Shrewsbury
Choosing a smart home from a brochure is guesswork. In our Control4 Certified Showroom on Battlefield Enterprise Park you can get hands-on with a live system: press the keypads, change the scenes, run the blinds and ask our team anything. No obligation, just a working system you can try for yourself. If you are coming from Telford it is a twenty-minute drive along the M54, and our Telford smart home installation page covers that area in more detail.

"We sat down with SMC Custom Installs not really knowing what we wanted to install in our house but with the overall aim of future proofing the visual and sound installations for many years. Philip spent many hours with us explaining various options and the pros/cons that apply to the many choices that were on offer… the whole quality of the SMC Custom Installs offering was second to none hence I cannot recommend SMC Custom Installs highly enough."John Kavanagh · Smart Home Installation
"SMC Custom Installs are a fantastic business and team. I would have no hesitation recommending them for anyone looking to explore smart home technology. Phil was absolutely superb from day one, always proactive and explaining everything in very easy to follow detail."Daniel Leech · Control4 Smart Home
Smart Homes, Answered Plainly
Can a smart home be retrofitted to an existing house?
Yes. Wireless lighting control, smart thermostats, multi-room audio and security can all be added to an existing home with little or no rewiring, and Control4 is designed to work this way. For major renovations and new builds we'd recommend cabling from the first fix, but a retrofit is how many of our projects start.
Do I need Control4 for the whole house or can I start with one room?
You can absolutely start small. Many clients begin with one room (a media room, the kitchen, or lighting downstairs) and extend the system over time. Control4 is modular, so anything we install now becomes the foundation for whatever you add later.
What happens if my internet goes down?
Your home keeps working. Control4 runs on a processor inside your house, so keypads, remotes, lighting, heating and local music carry on as normal without an internet connection. You'd temporarily lose remote access from outside the house and internet streaming services, and both come straight back when the connection returns.
Why choose a Control4 Certified Showroom?
Certified Showroom status is awarded by Control4 to dealers who maintain a full working demonstration facility and meet their standards for training and customer care. For you, it means you can try a real system before committing, and that the company designing your home has been vetted by the manufacturer, not just authorised to sell the boxes.
