Smart Lighting & Blinds in Brighton and Hove
Smart lighting and blind installation is the fitting and configuration of app- or hub-controlled lighting circuits and motorised window blinds, allowing them to be controlled remotely, scheduled or grouped into scenes, and is typically scoped by the number of rooms or devices involved rather than as a whole-house automation project.
In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.

Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Smart Lighting & Blinds in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide smart lighting & blinds across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
Do I need a hub for smart lighting and blinds, or can they run off an app alone?
Some smart lighting and blind systems work directly over Wi-Fi via an app, while others need a dedicated hub for the best reliability and to enable scenes and automations. We advise on the right setup for the brand and scope you choose.
Can smart lighting be added without rewiring the whole room?
In many cases, smart dimmer switches and bulbs can be fitted using existing wiring. Some setups do need a neutral wire at the switch, which we check for during the consultation.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
