About UK Home Cinemas
UK Home Cinemas is the trading name of 1080 Integration Limited, a specialist Home Cinema, Home Automation, Networking and Audio Visual solutions company based in Crowthorne, Berkshire, delivering bespoke residential AV technology solutions for clients throughout the UK.
The company was originally founded by two former Sony Broadcast Integration Engineers, with extensive experience working on major Broadcast and Audio Visual projects for organisations including the BBC, Sky and Pinewood Studios.
This professional broadcast heritage remains central to the company’s approach, with an emphasis on technical excellence, careful system design, reliable integration and uncompromising performance.
Today, UK Home Cinemas is led by Managing Director Richard Bell, who brings decades of experience across professional broadcast, audiovisual engineering and systems integration.
Richard has developed an extensive understanding of complex AV environments, from the design and integration of sophisticated systems through to networking, control, distribution and technical support.
His experience in the professional broadcast sector has provided the foundation for the company’s residential offering, allowing UK Home Cinemas to apply the same level of engineering discipline and technical attention normally associated with high-end commercial and broadcast installations to private homes.
Under Richard’s leadership, the company has continued to develop its expertise in Dedicated Home Cinemas, Media Rooms, Whole-Home Audio-Visual systems, Home Automation, Lighting Control, Networking and Integrated Technology.
Each installation is approached as a complete system rather than a collection of individual products, ensuring that performance, usability and reliability work together seamlessly.
Supporting Richard is Ben O’Connell, Home Cinema & Automation Specialist, who brings a complementary combination of technical and creative expertise.
With a background in digital imaging, photographic workflows and technology integration, Ben has a particular focus on visual performance, home cinema environments, networking and smart-home technologies.
Together, Richard and Ben combine decades of professional broadcast and AV integration experience with contemporary residential technology expertise, creating bespoke solutions that are designed around the client, the property and the way each system will ultimately be used.
From a dedicated reference-standard cinema to a fully integrated smart home, UK Home Cinemas brings professional engineering principles, carefully selected technology and a highly personal approach to every project.
Supporting the team is Alexandra Bailey, Business Support Administrator, who oversees day-to-day operations, client communications, quotations, and project administration, helping to ensure every project runs smoothly from initial enquiry through to completion.
Over the years, we have worked with a diverse range of clients including world-renowned musicians, medical professionals, business owners, and individuals working within the film and television industry.
Whether you’re passionate about movies, music, gaming, or sport, our goal is to create an immersive entertainment experience that the whole family can enjoy.
