Home Cinema, Hi-Fi & Smart Home Installation in Cheltenham

Hidden Home Technology designs and installs home cinemas, high-end hi-fi systems, lighting control and complete smart homes in Cheltenham and the surrounding villages — from Regency townhouses in Montpellier, The Suffolks and Pittville to family homes in Charlton Kings, Leckhampton and Prestbury, and Cotswold properties out towards Winchcombe.

We are both a specialist retailer and an installation company: you can buy from our online shop with expert advice, or have us design, install and calibrate a complete system from first sketch to final tuning. We are a CEDIA member (A-356536), and our founder Dan has been designing and installing home technology since 2001 — 25 years of it, with the company itself established in 2004.

What we do in Cheltenham

Home cinema

Dedicated cinema rooms and high-performance media rooms, designed around the property rather than forced into it — including the cellars, lofts and garden rooms that Cheltenham’s period housing stock offers. See home cinema installation in Cheltenham or our main home cinema service.

Hi-fi and listening rooms

Serious two-channel systems, chosen by audition rather than by spec sheet, and set up properly in your room. See hi-fi in Cheltenham or our hi-fi service.

Smart home and control

Whole-home automation — lighting, audio, video, heating, blinds and security on one simple system, with the robust wired and wireless networking underneath to make it dependable. See smart home installation in Cheltenham or our control and automation service.

Lighting design and control

Lighting schemes that flatter period rooms, with scene-based control replacing banks of switches. See lighting control in Cheltenham or our lighting design service.

Room acoustics

Acoustic design and treatment that lets high-ceilinged, hard-surfaced period rooms sound as good as they look. See room acoustics in Cheltenham or the room acoustics service.

Design and development consultancy

Technology planning for architects, interior designers and developers working on Cheltenham projects. See consultancy in Cheltenham or the main consultancy service.

A Bath company, working in Cheltenham

We won’t pretend to be a Cheltenham firm — we’re based in Bath. But Gloucestershire is home ground for us: we’ve delivered a complete garden-room cinema in Gloucester, ten miles down the road, and a home cinema in a Cotswold period house. Cheltenham is a straightforward run up the motorway from Bath, and for a project that typically spans weeks of design and installation, where we start the drive from each morning makes far less difference than who is doing the work when they arrive.

Every project is designed and installed by our own team — the same people you meet at the first consultation — not subcontracted out once the deposit clears.

Frequently asked questions

Do you really cover Cheltenham from Bath?

Yes. Cheltenham sits comfortably inside our regular working area, alongside Gloucester, the Cotswolds, Bristol and Bath itself. Design work, supply and project management are unaffected by the distance, and installation days are planned as full days on site.

Can I buy equipment from you without an installation?

Yes. We are a retailer as well as an installer — you can buy through our online shop, and premium products are enquiry-led so you get real advice before you commit.

Do you work on listed and period properties?

Frequently. Much of our portfolio is period property, including Georgian and Cotswold-stone houses, where cabling routes, speaker placement and lighting need to respect the fabric and character of the building.

How do I start?

With a conversation. Contact us and tell us about your home and what you’d like it to do — we’ll take it from there.
