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.

The Honest Bit

You Don’t Need to Be Technical

Almost none of our customers are technology people — and that’s fine, because you’re not buying technology. You’re buying easier mornings, better film nights, a house that looks after itself. Tell us how you live; translating that into the right system is our job, in plain English, from the first conversation to the years of support afterwards.

A Simpler, More Secure Life at Home

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.

One System, Whole Home

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

What Customers Say

Trusted by Homeowners Across Shropshire

"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."

Common Questions

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.
