What Tillman Domotics does

Tillman Domotics is a London-based boutique automation design and installation firm founded in October 2010, serving high-net-worth residential, luxury hospitality, and superyacht clients. The company integrates third-party control platforms—primarily Savant, where it claims to be the largest UK specialist, alongside Crestron and Lutron lighting systems—to deliver unified control of audio-visual, lighting, motorised window treatments, access control, CCTV, HVAC/BMS, networking, and bespoke cinema across projects ranging from £20,000 entry-level residential installations to £10 million+ country estates and commercial hotels. Technology is supplemented by a custom remote monitoring station that tracks IT networks, environmental sensors, lighting, and media servers, enabling proactive issue resolution without site visits.

The firm operates with 11 to 50 staff, led by founders Matt Symons (Partner) and Matthew Tillman (Managing Partner), supported by a Head of Engineering, design and project management personnel, an aftercare manager, and a window treatment specialist. Service modules span home automation, private cinema, lighting design, AV distribution, custom mechanisms (TV lifts, concealed screens), managed Wi-Fi, access control, intercom, CCTV, and full aftercare. Notable installations include an 80,000 sq ft Grade I listed Surrey estate, a 100,000 sq ft luxury hotel in Trafalgar Square, and a 14,000 sq ft North London new build, demonstrating capability at the upper end of the UK residential and commercial market.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time bespoke installation projects, with secondary recurring income from annual maintenance contracts and managed remote monitoring services. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales driven by referrals from architects, interior designers, and naval architects, complemented by a 2024 partnership with ACREW for marine sector access. Geographic scope is concentrated in London and Southeast England for terrestrial projects, with marine projects extending internationally via the superyacht owner and crew community.
