A high-end dedicated Private Cinema Room near Newbury, West Berkshire.
This room truly lives up to its impressive appearance, boasting a state-of-the-art Dali 9.4.4 system powered by the Anthem MRX 1140 receiver, this system included the front three LCR channels, front wide channels, left and right surround channels and rear channels, alongside four in-ceiling height channels for Dolby ATMOS; when paired with the four subwoofers – it delivered a truly impressive and immersive experience for our clients.
To complement the aesthetics, we meticulously concealed the surround speakers inside custom designed acoustic columns, perfectly aligning with the client’s vision and the overall ambiance of the room.
The centerpiece of the entertainment experience is the expansive 170” inch custom built Cinema Build Systems 2:35:1 Screen, flawlessly delivering stunning visuals courtesy of the JVC NP5 4K Projector.
Enhancing the atmosphere further, the dual star ceiling adds an extra dimension of awe and elegance to the entire setup.
All of these components seamlessly integrate together and are effortlessly controlled through a sophisticated Control4 Automation system.
Needless to say, the client was absolutely thrilled with the final result, and we were equally delighted with the outcome.
Dedicated Cinema Room in Hampshire with Control4 Automation.
We’ve transformed a spacious farmhouse basement in Hampshire into a cutting-edge Ultra HD home theater. It showcases a 2.35:1 screen, a Sony 4K projector, 10 comfortable reclining seats, and a captivating fiber optic star ceiling.
This theater combines top-of-the-line equipment with a mix of retro and modern design elements. We collaborated with Fenella, the client’s interior designer, over several months, prioritizing meticulous attention to detail over speed.
The finalized theater measures approximately 6.7 meters in length and slightly over 5 meters in width at its widest point, with an original ceiling height of 2.32 meters.
Our choice of projector, the Sony VPL-VW550, provides ultra HD resolution and essential features like motorized zoom, focus, and lens shift. It also includes lens memories to adjust to various aspect ratios on the 2.35:1 screen while maintaining consistent image height.
We integrated the entire theater with a single remote, utilizing Control4 for a user-friendly and elegant experience. Additionally, clients can control every aspect of the theater, including room lighting, using their iPhones.
Cinema Room in Sunningdale, Ascot, Surrey.
Our clients sought our expertise to help enhance the lackluster appearance of their existing cinema room. The cinema was situated in the basement of their new apartment, but lacked the wow factor they desired and failing to align with the overall magnificence and grandeur of the rest of property. After our initial conversations and taking precise measurements of the room, we embarked on a project to rejuvenate this once bland and lifeless cinema room.
With its square layout and lofty ceiling, the room lacked character and felt cavernous. We saw potential in integrating diagonal LED strips within the fabric walls not only enhance the overall ambiance of the room but also to improve both the system and rooms acoustics and create a cosier atmosphere.
However, it was the installation of star ceiling panels that truly breathed new life into the room, completely transforming the space and its atmosphere.
Garage Conversion Cinema Room in Camberley, Surrey .
Our client enlisted our help to convert his double garage into a home cinema, which also served as a storage space for household utilities. The garage contained a substantial water tank, pipework, fuse board, and electrical distribution, typical of most garages.
Initially, the client considered constructing a separate room for the utilities, but we recommended enclosing them within a frame with removable fabric panels instead, allowing us to preserve cinema space. This strategy maximized the available space for the cinema room.
We designed a room layout that included a sound proofed wall at the front which we recessed the screen into and house low-level AV cabinets below, while minimizing sound transmission to neighboring houses. The front in-wall speakers were then positioned behind the acoustically transparent screen.
Collaborating with the client’s builders, we implemented various aspects of the room design, such as framing around electrical and plumbing utilities and constructing the rear riser for seating.
We utilized a track and fabric system to create acoustically transparent panels, allowing us to place speakers behind them. Some panels were designed to be removable for easy access to utilities.To enhance the ambiance, LED strips were installed on the walls and bulkhead, providing dynamic lighting.
Wooden battens discreetly positioned behind the fabric enabled us to hang framed movie posters around the room, adding a personal touch for our clients.
Customer testimonial – Garage Cinema Conversion pictured above:
Richard’s expertise and consultative approach, makes him a real pleasure to work with. The project turned our double garage into a home cinema room run via Control 4. The garage itself posed a number of constraints (location of the consumer unit, water cylinder, heating controls, etc), which Richard worked through to provide us with a number of options. Their approach encompassed collaboratively working with the building contractor, carpet provider, and cinema seating provider. UK Home Cinemas fitted us the perfect home cinema, and the end result exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend them Richard and the team highly enough.
Lounge cinema in Surrey with RTI control and multi-room audio.
We completed this Lounge cinema room in February 2014. The Challenge was to install the system neatly into a cottage, where for various reasons it was not going to be possible to embed cables into the walls or ceiling.
The Ceiling heights were fairly low so it was necessary to ensure that the projector and screen were fixed as discreetly as possible to make the best use of the available space.
The client was particularly keen that the system should be user friendly, so an RTI control processor was specified and an RTI touch screen remote control was custom programmed to provide icon based control for every aspect of viewing and listening.
In the areas where it was impossible to embed the cables into the walls or ceiling various types of curved profile mini and micro trunking were used to the conceal the cables.
Wired internet was available elsewhere in the property and needed to be extended to reach the built in AV cupboard to provide the fastest internet access for the lounge cinema equipment and for on demand services etc, so a cable route was identified in order to achieve this.
Customer testimonial – Lounge cinema pictured above:
After UK Home Cinemas and home automation had been recommended to me by a friend they showed enthusiasm and imagination right from our first conversation. Richard made himself available in my own home to make suggestions for the bedding in of our home cinema system, most of which would otherwise never have occurred to me. They were accommodating enough to allow me to experience their demonstration system, something that made the decision to go with UK home cinemas an easy one. The quality of work is exceptional and they were extremely considerate in causing minimum disturbance to my daily routine. Ongoing correspondence is a particular strength and a major positive for me while I get to grips with the system-one which is set out logically and very user friendly. It would not be an exaggeration to describe the end product as life changing as our home finds a new focal point for relaxation and recreation – M Cook.
A Home Cinema room upgrade in Berkshire.
We completed this dedicated cinema room upgrade in December 2013. The old outdated AV receiver was replaced allowing the client to render newer audio formats from the latest feature films, a new active fibre optic HDMI cabling was run inside the ceiling to the projector, acoustic alignments were carried out and the projector was upgraded to a JVC DLA-X35.
Our client wanted the projected image to be as large as could be achieved within the space available and understandably he wanted the projector to be positioned close to the ceiling. The presence of an RSJ inside the ceiling at the back of the room made it difficult to achieve these objectives, so we custom built a structure just in front of and just below the RSJ to provide a substantial platform to support the projector in it’s ideal position. It was decorated to blend perfectly with the aesthetics of the room and the objectives were achieved. – Our client was delighted and his feedback can be seen below.
An example of our control system programming , in this case an RTI T3-V+ controlling an RTI Dock (iPod Dock) features album cover art and browsing from the remote.

Why 3 Chip Systems Can Produce A Higher Colour Light Output Than Single Chip DLP
Colour Light Output spec Explained – Single Chip DLP VS 3 Chip Systems
The advantages shown in the clips above, for 3LCD are also true for the other 3 Chip projector technologies. This clip also shows how single DLP systems project the primary colours sequentially,(one primary colour at a time). This can cause a proportion of viewers to see coloured flickering and coloured rainbow like patterns in the images
Richard and his excellent team created an absolutely amazing cinema room for us, beyond our expectations and within our budget. They were polite, tidy and worked diligently. Can't recommend them highly enough. If you're considering making a cinema room, this company is the best, so professional and a pleasure to deal with. We've had our cinema room for a couple of years now, and we absolutely love it, as do friends and family.
Richard from UK home cinemas is great at what he does and pleasure to work with. Richard spent countless hours discussing our design to ensure we could use our new room for all activities we wanted. He was very patient showing and discussing with us potential options and alternatives for what was novel idea and fairly complex design. We had to take into account number of limitation and particularities with heating, air conditioning, lighting and existing speaker and network installation. Richard designed, built and installed perfect acoustic housings for our in-wall speakers as well as number of other features. He and his team worked tirelessly to ensure we get results we wanted. Richard and his team worked collaboratively with subcontractors and our builder.
We would highly recommend UK home cinemas for any media room installation project.

I would recommend Richard Bell to anyone contemplating installing or upgrading a home cinema or a projector for an office environment. I cannot imagine better service. The recommendation was perfect and the turnaround time fantastic. Richard is very knowledgeable and does not try to sell you something that you do not need. His explanations are clear and focused. He is polite and very hardworking. We are very impressed with what he achieved and so little time. The end result is excellent.
Very good and clear information was given to me from Mr. Bell prior to my purchase. I purchased a ceiling mount for my Epson 5050ub it fit and worked perfect, as a typical man I did not read the directions if I would have it would’ve only taken 45 seconds to do everything. Mount looks great in my theater, shipping and service was great.
