On-site IT & networks

Cabling that gets labelled, tested and written down.

Cat6 and Cat6a copper, fibre where the distance needs it, terminated properly and handed over with test results and a plan of what goes where.

Cabling is the part of the network nobody thinks about until it is wrong, and then it is expensive to put right because it is inside the walls. The failures are almost always the same: runs put in wherever was convenient rather than where the work happens, nothing labelled at either end, and no record of what was done.

We plan runs around how the building is actually used, terminate to standard, test every port and hand you the results. When someone asks in three years which port serves the machine in the far corner, the answer is on a plan rather than in somebody's memory.

What drives the cost

Cabling is quoted per run against a schedule of works. The things that move the price:

  • How many outlets, and how many runs go to each one.
  • The building. A modern office with accessible ceilings is a different job from a Victorian mill or a working warehouse.
  • Cable routes - whether there is existing containment to follow or we are creating it.
  • Whether we are working around you in the day or coming in out of hours.

The survey is where the real number comes from. A price given over the phone without someone seeing the building is a guess, and usually an optimistic one.

What you get

What an install involves

Cat6 and Cat6a copper

The sensible default for almost every office and unit. We will tell you when Cat6a is genuinely worth the extra and when it is not.

Fibre where it earns its place

Between buildings, across a yard, or anywhere the distance puts copper out of spec. Not because it sounds better on a quote.

Cabinets and patch panels

Properly sized, properly mounted, with enough room to work in. Including tidying up cabinets somebody else left in a state.

Containment and routing

Trunking, tray and conduit run neatly and to regulation, planned around the fabric of the building rather than fought against it.

Testing on every port

Each run tested before we sign off, and the results handed over as a PDF you keep.

Labelling at both ends

Every outlet and every patch panel port labelled and recorded, so nobody is ever tracing a cable by unplugging things to see what goes dark.

A plan of the building

A floor plan showing where the outlets are and which port each one lands on. Yours to keep and to hand to anyone who works on it later.

How it works

How a cabling job runs

No engineer turning up unannounced, and no invoice with surprises on it.

  1. 1

    Survey

    We walk the building, look at the fabric, the existing routes and where people actually sit or work. Free and with no obligation.

  2. 2

    Schedule of works

    Every run listed, a fixed price, and a clear note of anything that could change it - asbestos surveys, listed building constraints, a ceiling nobody can get above.

  3. 3

    Installation

    Booked around you, including evenings and weekends so your team is not sat idle. We clear up after ourselves.

  4. 4

    Handover pack

    Test results, labelled ports, floor plan and cabinet photographs.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Yes, and most of our work is. We plan runs in sections so no part of the business is down for long, and we do the disruptive work out of hours where it matters.

Cat6 handles a gigabit to every desk comfortably and suits most small businesses. Cat6a matters for longer runs at 10 gigabit, or where you are wiring something you expect to keep for fifteen years. We will give you the honest answer for your building rather than the expensive one.

Sometimes the existing cabling is fine and the problem is the switch or the patching. We check that first - it is a cheaper answer and it happens more often than you would think.

Yes. Cabling, switching, VLANs and firewalls are usually one job, and treating them as one is how you avoid three suppliers blaming each other.

External-grade cable, ducting or fibre depending on the distance and what is in the way. Warehouses, workshops and yards are a large part of what we do.

Usually goes with

Most of this work comes as part of something bigger. Ask about any of it in one go and you get one scope, one price and one team.
