Built properly, by our own engineers.
Installation is where good design either comes to life or falls apart. Our engineers coordinate first and second fix with your trades, build a professionally engineered rack, install and configure every device and programme the system around the way you live.
Everything is then tested and commissioned together before handover.
How an installation comes together
First fix
Cabling, back boxes and containment go in to the design drawings and cable schedule, alongside your electrician. We check it as we go, because this is the part that is hardest to change later.
Rack build
Your equipment rack is built, labelled and dressed properly, with power, cooling and room to grow.
Second fix and programming
Keypads, touchscreens, speakers, screens, sensors and access points are fitted, then the control system is programmed around the scenes and routines agreed in your design.
The details you do not see, done right
Our own engineers
Installed by the 1Install team, not a chain of subcontractors.
Labelled and documented
Every cable and connection labelled and recorded, ready for handover.
Respect for your home
Tidy working, protection of finishes and clear communication with everyone on site.
Project visits
Regular site visits during the build to check progress and keep the trades working to the design.
Tested together
Every system commissioned as one, so lighting, shading, audio and control work as intended.
Cinemas and media rooms, finished as a complete room
Dedicated spaces such as home cinemas are installed as a complete design: screen, projection, audio, seating, acoustics, lighting and control considered together. See our acoustic fabric walls for one of the finishing touches.
Installation, explained
How long does installation take?
It follows your build programme. First fix happens alongside your electrician, and second fix and commissioning once decoration is complete.
Will you work with our electrician?
Yes. We provide cable schedules and stay in contact through first fix, or we can run the cabling ourselves where agreed.
Can you install in an occupied home?
Yes. We plan the work room by room to keep disruption to a minimum.
What happens at the end of installation?
Everything is tested and commissioned together, then we move to handover, where we train you and load your Client Portal with your system information.
