How we work
Survey. Install. Test. Document.
Our structured approach maps your requirements, installs to standard, verifies every link and leaves you with documentation that outlasts the project.
Survey
Walk the site, count outlets, review cabinet space and agree cable routes and standards.
Clear scope before any cable is pulled
Install
Run and terminate structured cabling, fit patch panels and dress cabinets neatly.
Minimal disruption to working areas
Test
Test every port end-to-end, patch through to switches and verify connectivity before sign-off.
Confidence that every port works before handover
Document
Deliver labelled panels, port schedules and as-built notes for your records.
Documentation your team can rely on later

FAQ
Cat6 supports 1 Gbps comfortably and 10 Gbps over shorter distances. Cat6a supports 10 Gbps over the full 100-metre channel and offers better shielding against interference. We recommend Cat6a for new installs where you want headroom for future bandwidth needs.
No. We regularly tidy existing cabinets, replace damaged outlets, add runs for desk moves and re-label panels where documentation has been lost. A site survey helps us quote accurately for remediation work.
Yes. Every port is tested end-to-end before we sign off the job — checking continuity and connectivity so you know each link works. We do not supply formal certification reports with detailed link specifications, but every outlet is verified live before handover.
For office moves and larger installs we can schedule work outside business hours or in phases. We discuss access, noise and downtime during the survey so your team knows what to expect.
Yes. Cabling is one layer of your network. We can patch through to switches, configure VLANs and deploy Wi-Fi access points as part of the same project — or through our managed services and IT support packages.
