Home Renovation AV Installation in Brighton & Sussex

​Home Connected provides professional AV, WiFi, network, TV and security installation for home renovations and refurbishments throughout Brighton, Hove and Sussex.

Renovating a property provides an ideal opportunity to upgrade the technology behind it. While walls, floors and ceilings are accessible, we can help plan and install the cabling and infrastructure required for everything from home networks and WiFi to TVs, CCTV, audio and AV systems.

 

Whether you're refurbishing a single room, renovating an entire house or extending your property, we'll help you plan what you need before everything is finished.

Planning Technology Into Your Renovation

Get the Cabling Right Before the Walls Are Finished

 

Technology can easily become an afterthought during a renovation, but considering it early can save considerable time and disruption later.

 

Before walls are plastered and rooms are decorated, it's worth considering where you'll need:

 

  • Ethernet and network points

  • WiFi access points

  • TVs

  • CCTV cameras

  • Speakers

  • AV equipment

  • Satellite or aerial connections

  • Alarm and security equipment

  • Network cabinets

  • Connections for garden rooms or outbuildings

  • Additional cabling for future requirements

 

Home Connected can visit the property, discuss how each space will be used and recommend the infrastructure required.

 

We'll focus on what will actually be useful rather than adding unnecessary technology simply because the property is being renovated.

Home Network & Ethernet Installation

Modern homes increasingly rely on a good network for televisions, computers, streaming, CCTV, smart technology and everyday internet use.

 

A renovation provides an excellent opportunity to install Ethernet cabling behind walls and create wired network points exactly where they're needed.

 

Depending on the property, we can help with:

 

  • Ethernet cabling

  • Network sockets

  • Network switches

  • Network cabinets

  • Wired TV and AV connections

  • WiFi access point cabling

  • CCTV network connections

  • Testing and configuring existing network infrastructure

 

If the property already has network cabling, we can also inspect what's there and determine whether it can be retained, repaired or incorporated into the new installation.

WiFi Installation During a Renovation

Good WiFi isn't simply about having a fast broadband connection. The layout, size and construction of the property can all affect coverage.

 

During a renovation, we can plan suitable locations for WiFi access points and install the required cabling before decorating is complete.

 

This can be particularly useful for:

 

  • Larger homes

  • Multi-storey properties

  • Extensions

  • Converted lofts

  • Home offices

  • Garden rooms

  • Properties with thick internal walls

 

Rather than trying to solve coverage problems once the renovation is finished, we can consider WiFi as part of the wider property infrastructure.

 

See our professional WiFi installation services for more information.

TV & AV Installation for Renovations

If you're changing the layout of a room or completely redesigning a property, it's worth deciding where televisions and AV equipment will be positioned before the finishing work begins.

 

Home Connected can help plan and install:

 

  • TV positions

  • TV aerial connections

  • Satellite connections

  • HDMI cabling

  • Concealed AV cabling where practical

  • Multi-screen systems

  • HDMI distribution

  • Projectors and screens

  • Audio systems

  • Centralised AV equipment

 

Planning power, data and AV connections around the intended TV position can produce a much cleaner finished installation.

 

Once the room is ready, we can also provide professional TV wall mounting and setup, including positioning and connecting your equipment.

Audio & Multi-Room Systems

 

A renovation is also a good time to consider integrated audio because speaker and equipment cabling can potentially be installed before ceilings and walls are finished.

 

Depending on what you'd like to achieve, Home Connected can help with:

 

  • Ceiling speakers

  • Multi-room audio

  • Speaker cabling

  • Speaker positioning

  • Centralised audio equipment

  • AV equipment connections

  • HDMI matrix systems

  • Multi-room TV distribution

 

We'll discuss how you intend to use each room and recommend a practical setup around the property.

 

For wider television, audio and distribution systems, see our AV installation services.

​

​

 

CCTV & Security Installation

 

If CCTV or other security equipment forms part of the renovation, planning it before the property is finished can help produce a neater installation.

 

We can consider suitable camera positions and cable routes for areas such as:

 

  • Entrances

  • Driveways

  • Gardens

  • Side access

  • Garages

  • Outbuildings

  • Other vulnerable areas around the property

 

CCTV can also be considered alongside the property's network infrastructure so that the wider system is planned together.

 

Home Connected provides CCTV system installation throughout Brighton and Sussex for homeowners looking to improve their property security.

​

​

 

Alarm Systems for Renovated Properties

 

A renovation can also be a suitable time to review the property's existing alarm system or consider installing a new one.

 

Home Connected installs Ajax alarm systems for homes and small businesses, providing a modern wireless security option that can be controlled through compatible keypads and mobile devices.

 

Security requirements can be considered alongside CCTV and the other technology being planned for the property.

 

See our Ajax alarm installation services for further information.

​

​

 

Connecting Extensions, Garden Rooms & Outbuildings

 

If your renovation includes an extension, garden office or separate outbuilding, it's worth considering how that space will connect to your main network.

 

Where possible, we can plan suitable network infrastructure while building work is taking place.

 

Where physically running a network cable between separate buildings isn't practical, a wireless bridge may provide another option.

 

Our Point-to-Point WiFi installation service can connect suitable detached buildings without relying on the weak WiFi signal from the main house.

 

Working With Existing Cabling & Equipment

 

Renovating doesn't necessarily mean everything already in the property needs replacing.

 

There may already be usable:

 

  • Ethernet cabling

  • TV cabling

  • Satellite connections

  • Network equipment

  • CCTV cabling

  • Speakers

  • AV equipment

  • Other infrastructure

 

Home Connected can assess the existing installation and establish what's still suitable before recommending additional work.

 

Where equipment or cabling can sensibly be reused, we'll look to incorporate it into the new setup rather than recommending unnecessary replacement.

​

​

 

Our Renovation AV Installation Process

 

1. Design It

 

The first stage is understanding what you want from the finished property.

 

We'll discuss the rooms being renovated, how they'll be used and which technology services you may require.

 

That might include WiFi, networking, TVs, audio, CCTV, security or wider AV systems.

 

Thinking about these requirements before the building work progresses gives us a much better opportunity to position the necessary infrastructure correctly.

 

2. Plan It

 

Once the requirements are established, we'll plan the practical installation.

 

Depending on the project, this can include:

 

  • Equipment positions

  • Network points

  • WiFi access point locations

  • TV positions

  • Speaker locations

  • CCTV positions

  • Cable routes

  • Network cabinet locations

  • Connections between different areas of the property

 

Where required, we can work alongside your builder or electrician to coordinate the relevant parts of the installation.

 

3. Install It

 

Once the property reaches the appropriate stage, we'll install and configure the agreed equipment.

 

This could range from terminating network cabling and setting up WiFi through to installing TVs, CCTV, audio or wider AV systems.

 

We'll keep the installation as neat and practical as possible while working around the requirements of the renovation.

 

4. Test & Commission the System

 

Once installation is complete, we'll test the relevant equipment and connections to make sure everything is operating correctly.

 

We'll also show you how the installed systems work and answer any questions you have before handing everything over.

​

​

 

Future-Proofing Your Renovation

 

It's impossible to know exactly what technology you'll use years from now, but installing suitable infrastructure while the property is already being renovated can make future upgrades much easier.

 

Depending on the project, it may be worthwhile considering additional network or AV cabling for areas that aren't immediately being used.

 

This could help accommodate future:

 

  • TVs

  • WiFi access points

  • Home offices

  • CCTV cameras

  • Speakers

  • AV equipment

  • Garden rooms

  • Network-connected equipment

 

The objective isn't to install unnecessary technology. It's to consider sensible provisions while access is relatively straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

When should I plan the AV installation during a renovation?

 

Ideally, the technology requirements should be considered before walls, ceilings and floors are finished. This gives more flexibility when planning cable routes and equipment positions.

 

Can you work alongside my builder or electrician?

 

Yes. Where required, we can coordinate with other trades involved in the renovation to help plan cabling, equipment positions and the relevant installation stages.

 

Can you install Ethernet cabling while my house is being renovated?

 

Yes. A renovation can be an ideal time to install Ethernet cabling because cable routes may be considerably more accessible before walls and finishes are completed.

 

Can you improve the WiFi as part of the renovation?

 

Yes. We can assess the property and plan suitable network cabling and WiFi access points to improve coverage throughout the renovated home.

 

Can you reuse my existing network or AV equipment?

 

Potentially, yes. We'll assess the existing cabling and equipment and, where it's still suitable, look at incorporating it into the new system rather than replacing it unnecessarily.

 

Can you install TVs and hide the cables?

 

Yes. We can plan TV positions and associated cabling during the renovation and provide professional wall mounting once the room is ready. Cable-concealment options will depend on the construction and layout of the property.

 

Can you install CCTV while we're renovating?

 

Yes. CCTV can be incorporated into the wider renovation, allowing camera positions and associated cabling to be considered before the property is finished.

 

Can you install ceiling speakers during a renovation?

 

Yes. Where suitable, we can plan and install ceiling speakers and associated audio cabling as part of the wider AV installation.

 

Can you connect a new extension or garden room to my network?

 

Yes. Depending on the layout, this may be achieved using network cabling or a Point-to-Point wireless connection. We'll assess the property before recommending the most appropriate option.

 

How much does AV installation for a home renovation cost?

 

The cost depends on the size of the property, the services required, the amount of cabling and equipment involved and the stage the renovation has reached. We'll assess your requirements and provide a clear quotation before carrying out the work.

 

Which areas do you cover?

 

We're based in Patcham, Brighton and work throughout Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Lewes, Horsham, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Shoreham-by-Sea, Peacehaven, Crawley and surrounding areas across East and West Sussex.
