A smarter home you never have to think about

Customtek designs and installs smart lighting, climate, shading, security and multi-room audio — planned into the build so thoroughly that the only thing you notice is the room.

Why Customtek

Technology you feel, not see

A well-integrated home doesn't look technical. It feels calm, comfortable and effortless — because the planning happened long before the screens and switch plates went on.

01

Invisible by design

Keypads, speakers and sensors are planned into joinery, ceilings and walls before finishes go on — so the only thing you notice is the room.

02

One system, not five

Lighting, climate, shading, security and audio behave as a single system, reached from one app, one wall panel or one voice command.

03

Designed and looked after

The team that plans your system installs it and supports it afterwards, so nobody has to guess how it was put together.

Systems

Five systems, one experience

Most homes end up with a collection of apps and remotes. We plan the systems together from the start, so lighting, climate, shading, security and audio behave like one.

01 — Light · Climate · Shade

Smart lighting, climate & shading

Light that changes with the day, and blinds that know when the sun hits the west glass. We design layered lighting scenes and motorised shading, then tie them to heating and cooling so every room holds the right light and temperature without a second thought.

  • Tunable white and scene lighting
  • Motorised blinds, curtains and louvres
  • Heat pump and underfloor heating control
  • Room-by-room temperature and humidity

02 — Access · Cameras · Alarm

Security, cameras & smart locks

A home that knows who's arriving and looks after itself while you're out. Discreet cameras, door and window sensors and keyless entry, set up to work quietly in the background and reachable from your phone.

  • Keyless entry and smart locking
  • Discreet cameras and video doorbell
  • Motion, door and glass-break sensing
  • Gate, garage and intercom integration

03 — Cinema · Audio · Multi-zone

Home theatre & multi-room audio

Sound that follows you from room to room — and a media room that becomes the best seat in the house. Speakers sit flush in ceilings and walls, calibrated once and enjoyed for years.

  • In-ceiling and in-wall speakers
  • Cinema and media room design
  • Streaming audio in every zone
  • Outdoor and poolside sound

Who we work with

One team, three kinds of project

Every project starts the same way: understanding the space and the people in it. What changes is who we're standing beside on site.

Homeowners

Renovations & upgrades

Whether it's one living room or the whole house, we map what's possible within your walls and your timeline, then handle the details so the renovation keeps moving.

  • Retrofit-friendly options
  • Scenes built around how you live
  • Wiring planned around your trades

Trade & design partners

New builds with builders & architects

We join the project early and give your team clear drawings, cable schedules and fixings, then commission the system so handover runs to programme.

  • Documentation for your drawings
  • First fix through to commissioning
  • One point of contact on site

Business

Offices & hospitality spaces

Meeting rooms that wake up on schedule, lighting that follows occupancy and audio that sets the tone — managed by your team, not an IT department.

  • Schedules that reduce energy use
  • Meeting room & presentation control
  • Multi-zone audio for public areas

Process

How a project runs

Four stages, one team. You always know what happens next and what it costs.

01

Consultation

A walk-through of your space and how you want it to feel. We talk systems, priorities and budget bands, then follow up with a written scope.

02

Design & proposal

A documented system design — equipment, wiring, control points and a fixed price. Nothing is added later without your sign-off.

03

Installation

Our team installs, terminates and programs everything, coordinating with your builder, electrician and interior trades so the works fit around everyone else.

04

Handover & support

We show you how it all works, label it clearly and stay on hand for changes and additions as the system grows with you.

Projects

Inside a Customtek system

The systems look the same whether the room is a kitchen, a bedroom, a media room or a boardroom — planned early, fitted flush, and controlled from one place.
