Smart Home & Lighting
Smart home and lighting installation covers automated lighting circuits, smart switches and controls, and the structured wiring behind them — designed properly at first-fix stage where possible, or retrofitted cleanly where it isn't.
When You Need Smart Home
- You're renovating or extending and want smart lighting/controls designed in from first fix
- You want to retrofit smart switches, dimmers, or scene control into an existing property
- Your current smart lighting is unreliable or was fitted without proper wiring/neutral provision
- You're building a new media room, garden office, or extension and want structured wiring included
Smart Home Cost
£350–£817
This is a broad starting range — smart home scope varies a lot, so we always confirm a fixed price after understanding what you want to control.
What affects the price?
- • Number of circuits/rooms being automated
- • Whether it's new-build first-fix or a retrofit into existing walls
- • System and hardware choice (switches, hubs, dimmers)
- • Any structured/network cabling included alongside the electrics
How Long Does It Take?
A single-room retrofit can take a day; whole-house smart lighting on a renovation is scoped alongside the rest of the electrical first-fix programme.
Regulations & Standards
All wiring and controls are installed and tested to BS 7671, with any new circuits notified under Part P where required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can smart lighting be retrofitted into an existing house?
Yes — most smart switches and dimmers can be retrofitted, though some setups need a neutral wire at the switch that older wiring doesn't always have, which we check before quoting.
How much does smart home installation cost?
Costs vary widely with scope, from a single smart switch to whole-house automation, with a fixed quote confirmed once we know what you want.
Do I need special wiring for smart lighting?
Some smart switches need a neutral wire at the switch plate, which not all older properties have — we assess your existing wiring and recommend the right approach, including switch-free options where needed.
