Control4 smart home systems
Control4 smart home systems, designed and installed to bring your lighting, audio, heating, security and blinds together under one simple control.
About This Service
A smart home that works the way you live
Control4 is a complete home automation system that connects the technology in your home and puts it under one roof. At Looks Lovely Ltd, we design and install Control4 around how you actually live, linking your lighting, audio and video, heating, security, cameras and motorised blinds so you can control everything from a wall touchscreen, a remote, your phone or your voice. Whether you want to start with a single room or fit out the whole house, the system is built to grow with you.
We're a Control4 partner and CEDIA qualified, the qualification for home technology installers, and as NICEIC approved electricians we handle the wiring ourselves. We're based in Bromley, serving Hayes, Chislehurst, Orpington and the surrounding area, and we design and install Control4 in Bromley homes from single rooms to whole-house systems.

Our Process
How It Works
01
Design & Consultation
We start by understanding how you use your home and what you want the system to do, then design a Control4 setup to match.
02
Your written proposal
We set out the rooms, the kit and the work involved in a written proposal, so you can see what's included and decide whether to start with one room or the whole house.
03
Installation
We fit and wire everything cleanly, integrating your existing devices and the brands we work with so it all runs as one system.
04
Setup & Handover
We program your scenes, test everything and walk you through it, so you are comfortable using your system from day one.
Benefits
What Control4 brings to your home
One system for everything
Lighting, sound, heating, security and blinds, all controlled from a single app, remote or touchscreen.
Built around your home
Custom scenes for everyday routines, entertaining and security, set up the way you want them.
Discreet and reliable
Integrated kit that blends into your decor and keeps working quietly in the background.
Wired by qualified electricians
As NICEIC approved electricians and CEDIA qualified installers, we design, wire and program the system ourselves, rather than handing the electrics to someone else.
One app for your whole home
With Control4, you are not juggling a different remote or app for every device. A single tap sets the scene: "good morning" raises the blinds and brings up the lights, "movie night" dims everything and fires up the screen, "goodnight" locks up and switches it all off. You can control your home from the sofa, from upstairs or from the other side of the world.
Technology that fits your home
A good smart home should be felt, not seen. We install Control4 so the technology sits quietly in the background, with discreet keypads and touchscreens that suit your decor rather than clutter it. Control4 works with thousands of devices and brands, including the Lutron and Rako lighting we install, so we can bring together what you already own and fill in the gaps.
What does a Control4 system cost?
Every Control4 system is designed for the home it's going into, so we price each one after the consultation. The main things that shape the cost are:
How many rooms: one room, such as a home cinema or a living room, costs far less than a whole-house system.
What it controls: each extra part of the home, such as lighting, multi-room audio, heating, cameras or blinds, adds equipment and programming time.
The lighting and blinds: whole-home lighting control or motorised blinds is often the largest part of a project.
Your wiring: a system planned into a renovation, while walls are open, needs less work than one added to a finished home, where we use wireless options or route cables discreetly.
The controls you choose: wall touchscreens, keypads and remotes in each room, or mainly your phone.
Starting with one room keeps the first step affordable, and the system can grow when you're ready.
What our clients say about our home automation work
"Steve’s completed several projects for me over the years, including three kitchens and full re-wires. His latest work for me included home automation covering lighting, heating and home appliances, as well as fully networking the house with top spec data cabling. He’s also completed lots of projects for family and friends through recommendation. Steve is reliable, tidy and his work is first class. He’ll be back soon to work on the man cave!" - Mark, Google
"Steve has consistently proven himself to be an excellent electrician and totally trustworthy. He is responsive, punctual, totally reliable and communicates clearly and proactively. Steve's distinguishing advantage is his ability to think creatively and solve complicated problems such as Lutron lighting difficulties, pre-existing ethernet wiring problems, internal and external wifi issues and complex amplifier and receiver solutions. Whenever an electrical problem gets difficult, Steve is the guy who will fix it at the right price. I could not recommend Steve highly enough." - Lloyd, Google
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Many homes start with one room, such as a home cinema or the lighting, and expand over time. The system is designed to grow with you.
In most cases, yes. Control4 integrates with thousands of third-party products, so we can often build around the kit you already own.
t depends on how many rooms you want to include, what you want the system to control, and how much lighting and blinds work is involved. A single room costs far less than a whole house. We design each system around your home and give you a written proposal after the consultation, so you can see the cost before deciding.
It depends on the size of the system and the state of the house. A single room is a much shorter job than a whole house, and in a renovation the cabling goes in early, with programming and handover once the rooms are finished. We'll give you a timescale with your proposal.
Yes. With remote access set up, the Control4 app lets you check and control your lights, heating, cameras and more from anywhere. After handover, if you want a scene changed or another room added, we can update the system for you.
We're based in Bromley and install Control4 across south-east London, Kent and Surrey. Our areas we cover page lists the towns we work in, or get in touch and we'll let you know.
