Home Automation

Smart Living, Seamlessly Delivered

At 1Install, we design and install intelligent home systems that bring comfort, control, and simplicity to everyday life. Whether you're managing lighting, heating, blinds, music, or security, everything is tailored to your home and the way you live.

From new builds to listed homes, we provide complete solutions that are beautifully integrated and easy to use. Our team handles the full journey, from design and planning through to installation, setup, and aftercare.

Complete Control at Your Fingertips

Our systems give you the ability to control every key aspect of your home through a single, intuitive interface.

You can adjust lighting to suit the time of day, automate blinds to follow the sun, create the perfect atmosphere for film nights or entertaining, and monitor security remotely. All of this is accessible through your phone, tablet, wall-mounted touchscreen or voice assistant.

Every interface is customised to suit your preferences and every installation is carried out with precision and care.

We focus on performance, reliability, and design. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t rely on off-the-shelf solutions. Each system we install is built around your space, your routine, and your expectations.

We specify only the most trusted, proven brands for lighting control, AV, climate and security. Our clients rely on us for systems that are elegant, discreet, and built to last.

Designed for Every Type of Home

Whether you’re building a contemporary new home, upgrading a family house, or renovating a listed property, we create smart solutions that fit seamlessly into your architecture.

We work in:

  • New-build homes and modern extensions

  • Townhouses and period renovations

  • Apartments, lofts and penthouses

  • Country homes and large estates

Our systems are always tailored. We can work directly with your architect or interior designer, or manage the entire process ourselves.

Ready for the Future

All of our installations are designed with flexibility in mind. You can begin with lighting or AV control, and expand into heating, blinds, garden zones or security whenever you're ready.

We also provide responsive aftercare and remote support, ensuring your smart home remains reliable, secure, and simple to live with — both now and in the years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best home automation system?
In our opinion, Crestron leads the industry. It offers unrivalled reliability, deep customisation, and a lifetime warranty on key products including lighting, speakers, and blinds — the only brand to provide this. It’s the preferred choice for premium properties and whole-home control.
Is Control4 worth it?
Control4 is an excellent platform, especially for clients who want broad third-party compatibility. Its ability to integrate with a wide range of devices is one of its biggest strengths. However, as with any open system, it can be affected by how external manufacturers manage their APIs.
Can home automation be retrofitted into existing homes?
Yes. Many modern systems can be installed wirelessly or with minimal disruption, making retrofitting ideal for period properties or homes without new cabling. We regularly upgrade homes with lighting control, smart heating, audio zones and security without the need for a full renovation.
How much does a smart home system cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property and the level of integration. Entry-level systems may start from £10,000 for a few rooms, while whole-home solutions with AV, lighting, heating, blinds, and security can exceed £50,000. We offer clear proposals after a consultation.
What can be controlled in a smart home?
Home automation allows you to control lighting, blinds, heating, air conditioning, audio-visual systems, door access, security, and more. All systems are integrated into a single interface accessible via touchscreen, mobile app, or voice control.
Is home automation secure?
When properly installed and maintained, home automation systems are highly secure. We use encrypted communications and install all devices on dedicated networks or VLANs to prevent interference with your main internet or personal data systems.
Will I need internet for everything to work?
Your smart home will still function locally even if your internet goes down. Core systems like lighting, blinds, and AV operate over your internal network. Remote access and voice assistants require internet, but daily functionality remains uninterrupted.
Can I start small and expand my system later?
Absolutely. We often begin with lighting or AV control and expand into heating, blinds, and security as needed. All our systems are scalable, allowing for future upgrades without redoing existing work.
