One Team, Whole Project

Designed, Installed and Supported by One Company

Every solution below is designed by the same in-house team that installs, programs and supports it: the specialist work stays with SMC from the first conversation to the final handover. On larger builds we work directly with your architect, electrician, builder, lighting designer and interior designer so everything is coordinated from the outset. We’ve completed hundreds of projects across Shropshire, Cheshire and the West Midlands since 2006, and as a Control4 Certified Showroom, an Arcam Centre of Cinematic Excellence, a Monitor Audio Platinum dealer and an authorised Lutron dealer, the core systems we recommend can be seen and heard working in our Shrewsbury showroom before you make any decisions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SMC have just upgraded my Control4 hardware which they first installed on 2013 as part of a comprehensive Kaleidescape, Sonos, multi room TV and Ethernet network. As always they provided an excellent and very responsive service and I have no hesitation in recommending to anyone looking for advice on selecting the most appropriate solution for whole house AV .

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SMC installed Control 4 system in our new build home almost 4 years ago. Via either the app on my phone, the discreet touch screen wall mounted iPads or neo remote controls I have complete control of lighting, tv’s, sound system, security cameras and privacy blinds, both remotely and at home. Once the team had programmed my preferences, the technology is very user friendly and even amend should your preferences change over time. I particularly like the ‘mood or task settings’ on the lighting system. With one press of a button you can have unlimited settings for numerous occasions including cooking, relaxing, watching tv, parties, arriving home etc. I found the after sales support to be invaluable, Philip specifically has always swiftly and professionally been able to answer any technological questions I have with and the fact that they have remote access means any issues can be speedily rectified or amended. I would without hesitation highly recommend SMC and the Control 4 system.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional, software updated, system takeover ran perfectly, added more CCTV with no issues. Control 4 tweeks all ran well with no issues, if you use Control 4 these guys are great and they actually know what to do.............

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been using SMC Custom Installs for my Control4 home automation, AV media systems, and CCTV setup, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Phil has been absolutely outstanding from start to finish—not just during the initial installation, but over the past 10 years of ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and occasional changes. Everything has always been handled professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. It’s rare to find this level of consistency and reliability over such a long period. Perfect service all around. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SMC Custom Install to anyone looking for a high-quality, dependable setup.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SMC 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. We went for a control 4 system, which controls our lighting and all audio and visual equipment within our house and even controls our alarm and cctv remotely. We also had an amazing cinema room, which is still my favourite ever purchase. After sales service has been fantastic, Phil has personally called at my home on a number of occasions when required to do various updates or to help us with any (very limited) issues we have had over the last 5 years. Absolutely superb business to deal with. Thanks SMC and thanks Phil!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first started dealing with SMC Custom Install in 2015 where they installed a full Control 4 system comprising of CCTV a Cinema room and full Smart Home system throughout the house. SMC have continued to maintain the system since that time and advised and carried out upgrades where necessary over the last 10 years. I have always found Philip and the team most helpful and very quick to respond to any issues that we have had. I would highly recommend SMC Custom Install to anyone who may be considering incorporating a Control 4/ Smart home system into their property.
