"We have used TNL successfully for both Development and Client projects for over 5 years and consider them the market leader in design, installation and customer service. We would not hesitate to recommend their services."
Oliver Lindsay | Elmerston
"TNL worked with us from the start as both consultant and contractor on a major refurbishment. They designed, supplied and installed an incredible multi-room AV, home cinema and lighting control system and also took care of our IT needs. My wife and I were hugely impressed with TNL throughout and they were undoubtedly the best of all the many consultants and contractors we worked with. They really know their stuff but always focus on the client's interests rather than on selling product. But most important of all, they are professional and totally dedicated to achieving the highest quality. This has been demonstrated clearly by their fantastic aftercare - nothing is too much trouble. We would not hesitate to recommend TNL to others."
Andrew Ryde
Private Client
"Thank you again for going that extra mile to make our client extremely happy. You and your team have again provided us and our client with an excellent service, both with the design and installation of the AV and electrical systems. The client was also delighted with your handover and ongoing support while they get used to their new home. We look forward to working with you again on the next project as you make our life stress free."

Smart Home - Integrated Technology
Smart Home
Integrated Technology
Designing a future ready smart home is as much an art as it is a skill.
Smart home technology's rise to become the de facto approach for controlling the modern home's fundamental services such as heating, cooling, lighting, shading, security and audio-visual is well documented.
With the emergence of The Cloud and the IOT (Internet of Things) smart technology is now being built into a wide and diverse range of products. With over 9 billion connected "things" in 2017, it is anticipated that by the end of the decade, IOT enabled products installed across the world will exceed 20 billion devices.
The Next Level act as curators of this technology, using our expertise and wide-reaching knowledge to bring together the best and most appropriate systems out there for your project.
Control - Simplified Technology
Control
Simplified Technology
A professionally designed smart home system converges all home technology into a unified master control system. This simplifies the user experience so you don't need an instruction manual or PHD to interact with your home. We embrace the latest technologies such as voice control and the IOT, leveraging their power to make our client's lives easier, more productive and greater fun.
At TNL, we listen carefully to our client's needs before guiding them through the necessary thinking to select the best fit of technology and services for their project. We specialise in all leading smart home control systems with a proven track record of providing reliable performance and legacy support.
Entertainment - Everything Everywhere
Entertainment
Everything Everywhere
From immersive home cinema to hidden TVs, multi-room distribution and media streaming. All forms of audio visual solution can be integrated within a smart home system to provide the perfect home entertainment experience.
In today's world of sponsored endorsement and misleading reviews, we cut through the fake news and techno babble to give real world advice on the latest and greatest audio-visual systems and streaming services. No matter whether your audio-visual requirement is modest or you desire all the latest toys for every room in the home, our experienced team can provide a custom entertainment solution to suit any need.
Home Security - Secure Technology
Home Security
Secure Technology
Security systems cover a wide range of technologies that can be integrated within a smart home system to enhance their effectiveness. We take care of all AV and IT related security needs in-house such as CCTV, video door entry and access control. We then partner with specialist alarm system providers and integrate their fire and intruder alarm systems to provide a cohesive smart home security package.
Paramount to every system design, is our client's privacy and cyber security. Our attention to this detail does not stop at the specification of a secure home network. We work with trusted brands and run new products through rigorous test procedures at our in-house R&D facility to identify security flaws and ensure their suitability for our client's homes.
Home Networks - Super Fast & Super Reliable
Home Networks
Super Fast & Super Reliable
We all know we want good quality Wi-Fi and a fast broadband connection for our homes so that we can enjoy using modern technology frustration free. But there's a lot more to the home network than just an incoming connection and Wi-Fi for internet access.
Today, more "connected" technology than ever before is going into the modern home, with each connected device drawing greater resource from our home network. Add to this the growing trend towards cloud delivery services, Ultra HD 4K media streaming and Airplay within the home, and we can start to see why reliance upon a basic network is no longer adequate for larger properties with wide scale systems.

From liaising with internet service providers and aranging the incoming lines, to delivery of a fully commissioned and secure home network with everything set up and ready to go.

Telephony - Crystal Clear Communication
Telephony
Crystal Clear Communication
Today unquestionably, the mobile smart phone is the go to device for our communication needs. However, telephone systems still play a key role in converging telecommunications within larger properties and multi-dwelling apartment blocks, especially those with staff or concierge services.
Call transfer, extension calling, paging announcements, cordless roaming, even integration of video door entry and CCTV to video enabled handsets. We cater for any need advising on the best service, system and handsets for improved call quality, design aesthetic and telephony features. We then deal directly with the service providers on our clients behalf and manage the entire process, delivering a fully commissioned system that's ready to go.
Lighting Control - Enhancing Home & Wellbeing
Lighting Control
Enhancing Home & Wellbeing
With over 20 years lighting control experience, in-house lighting design and electrical expertise, our exceptional understanding of scheme design, lighting control technology and their electrical requirements combine to produce award-winning results.
Harnessing the latest advancements in LED lamp and lighting control technologies, our lighting specialists elevate interiors, create drama, improve vision and enhance wellbeing through intelligent control of light and shade.

Shading - Automated Window Treatments
Shading
Automated Window Treatments
An integral part of good lighting design is the ability to harness and enhance the qualities of natural light. The right combination of lighting control system and motorised window treatment maximises all of a space's potential.
We supply and fit motorised window treatments in a range of styles and fabrics, alongside the technology that enables blinds, curtains, shades or shutters to be operated remotely and even wirelessly. Integrated within a smart home system, motorised window treatments can be automated as part of a security mode or even programmed as part of a human-centric routine to wake you gently in the morning and aid a healthy circadian rhythm.
Climate Control - HVAC
Climate Control
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, can be integrated as part of a smart home system to provide many benefits over stand-alone solutions.
Normally installed within larger residential properties with more complex heating and cooling requirements, a building management system (BMS) automates the various functions required to achieve accurate climate control, improve heating and cooling efficiency and provide the client with a simplified user interface to set the level of their home's comfort.
At TNL, we have over 20 years HVAC integration experience working with all major control system brands. As a member of the professional design team, we work alongside M&E consultants to advise on the best integrated solution for each unique project. We then collaborate with the various contractors involved during the construction phases, to ensure delivery of a fully commissioned smart home system providing simple, yet powerful, whole house climate control.

From general maintenance and product warranties, to remote technical support and 24/7/365 emergency response, we offer tailored Complete Care packages to meet any need.
Rescue Works - A Next Level Service
Rescue Works
A Next Level Service
On an increasing basis, we receive enquiries from new clients, architects and interior designers regarding systems that have been installed by their chosen smart home integrator but failed to meet expectation or even work correctly since day one. This can be for a combination of reasons but we often find that negative experiences stem, not from the products that have been installed, but from sub-standard installation or system programming followed by a lack of reliable aftercare and technical support.

Audio Visual - Immersive Sound and Vision
Audio Visual
Immersive Sound and Vision
The Next Level has expert knowledge in all fields of audio-visual design and installation. Whether the system brief is high performance, discrete installation, a private cinema or whole home multimedia system, our specialists can provide the perfect solution.
For many of our most senior technicians, this is where it all started. Designing high end audio visual systems for some of the world's most discerning clients. Hollywood movie stars, A-list recording artists, film directors and producers. Over the years we have designed mind blowing home theatres and reference grade audio systems to satisfy even the most critical professionals in the business.
Home Theatre
With the advent of Ultra-High Definition 4K video and Dolby Atmos surround sound, home cinema is now more immersive than ever before. From cosy snug media rooms to custom home theatre and private screening rooms, whatever the requirement, our award-winning audio-visual technicians take cinema design to The Next Level!
With the advent of Ultra-High Definition 4K video and Dolby Atmos surround sound, home cinema is now more immersive than ever before.
Designing a truly immersive home cinema goes way beyond simply positioning the loudspeakers and a screen correctly within a room. Consideration must be paid to the room dimensions, sound pressure levels, acoustic treatments, light level, furnishing and finishes. It is also important to that the correct construction methods and materials are used to build the room itself.
At TNL, we provide a professional cinema design and installation service with all the necessary technical drawings and construction detail produced for the build team to take our concept forward. For client's seeking a one stop solution for their dream home cinema, we offer a turnkey service transforming a white box into the finished room complete with furnishing and sumptuous decor.

Reference Audio
Some of the most beautiful music we have ever had the pleasure to experience was reproduced, quite simply, by a pair of exquisite reference grade loudspeakers and perfectly matched electronics.
At TNL, we take the design of reference grade audio systems very seriously. Picking from some of the world's finest audiophile grade components we select the perfect match of loudspeaker, amplification, power conditioning and source components to bring your music to life.
Our audio technicians already have a great ear for sound, but most importantly, they are equipped with the necessary tools and training to precisely calibrate audio systems. We ensure that your investment reproduces music and movie soundtracks in the finest detail, exactly as the artist and director intended.
Multi-Room Distribution
It's great to have entertainment systems for the family throughout the home, but nobody wants to see those annoying, dust collecting grey boxes taking up space and cluttering a beautifully designed interior.
Multi-room media distribution provides HD Audio and Ultra HD 4K Video throughout the home from a central location via built in cabling. Install fewer components, take out fewer subscriptions, share sources with the family or have your own personal sources follow you to any room.
With the correct cable specification, centralised audio-visual systems are the best way to future proof your home for what's on the horizon and beyond.
Media Servers & Media Streaming
Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, the list goes on. Streaming was always the future, it's here now, so what does the new future hold?
Higher quality, higher definition, higher bandwidth, higher, higher and higher!
We design not only for what is here now but also what is coming in the future. We make sure you have the infrastructure in place to support more content, higher resolution, greater bandwidth, super-fast downloads and ultra-smooth streaming. And for clients with private collections, family movies or a need to support music and video even when offline, we offer high quality media server solutions to suit any need.
Hidden Solutions
Pop up displays, flip down screens, moving artwork and mirror TVs. With home automation and careful selection of products, there's a way to hide just about any TV, projector and loudspeaker to create a discrete or even invisible audio-visual solution. We collaborate with interior designers to ensure that technology enhances the home rather than it taking center stage.
Ultra-prime residential properties often require perfectly matched, bespoke solutions to meet the interior designer's vision. Whatever the challenge we endeavour to source a solution. With access to a range of bespoke offerings from architectural ironmongery to real wood veneers and precious metal finishing, almost anything we have been asked to achieve has been possible.
SATELLITE, AERIAL & WORLDWIDE IPTV
We have in-house satellite and aerial installation services solely to serve our own smart home projects and legacy installations. This streamlines the process of arranging, installing and maintaining satellite and aerial distribution systems for our clients.
Catering for both single-dwelling and multi-dwelling communal installations, we offer solutions for both domestic and worldwide television broadcasting, covering the widest range of satellite and IPTV services available.
For multi-dwelling landlords, we offer bespoke maintenance contracts with a check in/check out process to take care of new tenant's requirements so that everything is setup and ready to go the day they move in.

LIGHTING DESIGN - BY CREATIVE MINDS
LIGHTING DESIGN
BY CREATIVE MINDS
Professional lighting design combined with well executed lighting control can transform the comfort and ambience of the home as well as enhance vision, promote wellbeing and aid a healthy circadian rhythm. Our in-house lighting designers have vast experience designing creative schemes across multiple sectors, from super prime real estate to hotels, restaurants and retail.

Our in-house lighting designers have vast experience designing creative schemes across multiple sectors, from super prime real estate to hotels, restaurants and retail.
The combination of our creative lighting skills, electrical expertise and control system knowledge means we are able to offer a level of lighting design expertise rarely found within our industry. Importantly, we take the guess work out of selecting products that complement each other. We have all the necessary control technologies and diagnostic equipment in-house, to test the compatibility of drivers with luminaires and control methods to ensure that our designs are 100% guaranteed to provide noise and flicker free dimming with accurate colour temperature matched fittings across the scheme.
CONTROLLING NATURAL LIGHT
SHADING
CONTROLLING NATURAL LIGHT
An integral part of good lighting design is the ability to harness and enhance the qualities of natural light. The right selection of motorised window treatment and shading maximises all a space's potential to create the perfect setting.
Integrated with an intelligent lighting control system, motorised blinds, curtains, shades and shutters can be automated as part of a security mode, set to react to changing weather conditions or programmed as part of a human-centric routine to wake you gently and naturally in the morning.
We collaborate with architects and interior designers to ensure all the necessary construction detail is in place so that the various mechanisms and motors required for automation are "built in" creating a seamless finish and streamlined aesthetic.
HUMAN-CENTRIC LIGHTING
Human-centric lighting is the latest buzz word in the world of lighting control. This is lighting devoted to enhancing vision, performance and wellbeing in the home or workplace by controlling the level of blue light we experience throughout the day.
A human-centric lighting solution is always based on a professionally planned lighting concept where all components are precisely matched to the requirements of the client and the specific purpose of each room within the home.
Through the use of carefully selected "tuneable" LED luminaires and an appropriate lighting control solution, the colour temperature of emitted light can be progressively adapted based on the time of day, to ensure lighting within the home is in tune with our natural rhythm, aiding our sleep/wake cycle and helping to increase our productivity.
PROCUREMENT & VALUE ENGINEERING
As independent suppliers, we source the best fittings for your project, meaning a seamless transition from the design stages to installation. With our own dedicated R&D department, we remain at the forefront of the latest technologies and developing lighting market. To ensure you get the best, we invest time and resources researching global developments and identifying new products for use within our award-winning schemes.
We also understand the commercial constraints of development projects or indeed the impact of escalating build costs for private clients. With increasing regularity, we are asked to value engineer schemes produced by reputable 3rd party lighting consultants focussed on selling their own branded light fittings or those they have secured distribution rights for. As we are neither a manufacturer or distributer of lighting goods, we are adept at value engineering schemes to offer better value whilst often surpassing the quality and performance of the original design.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION - BRIGHT SPARKS
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
BRIGHT SPARKS
With a team of in-house electricians, we have the important electrical expertise and safety practices required to professionally design, install, and fully maintain our client’s smart home systems.
Whilst we are often asked, electrical contracting as a standalone service is not something we look to offer. Instead, we choose to work with the builder or client’s preferred electrical contractor supporting them with our expertise and technical understanding. When asked for a recommendation, we have a select number of professional electrical contractors whom we choose to partner with that offer an outstanding service to match our own exacting standards and dedicated client care.
Above all else, we love to collaborate and always strive to provide a friendly, knowledgeable, and professional service. Over time, this has seen us build many strong and mutually beneficial relationships which lead to repeat referrals and our continued success.
