WiFi and network services

From a single access point to a fully managed network with a rack in the cupboard under the stairs.

Whole house WiFi

Multiple access points that hand your phone from one to the next as you walk around. One network name, full speed everywhere.

Garden offices and annexes

A wired or wireless link to the outbuilding and its own access point, so video calls do not drop when the kettle goes on.

Rural and slow broadband

Starlink, 4G and 5G installations for properties where the landline broadband is hopeless. Often faster than fibre in town.

Wired networking

Cat6 to TVs, consoles, desks and cameras. Anything that does not move should be on a cable.

Secure and segmented

Guest networks for visitors, a separate network for cameras and smart devices, parental controls that actually work.

Fixes and upgrades

Dropouts, slow speeds, dead zones and old kit replaced. Diagnosed with a meter rather than guessed at.

How many access points would my house need?

A rough answer based on the size of the house. The survey with a signal meter gives the exact one.

Bedrooms
Floors
Outbuildings

Tip: run a speed test in the worst room and send us the number with your enquiry. It tells us more than the router model.

Suggested setup
2access points

Ubiquiti UniFi or TP Link Omada, ceiling mounted and wired back to the router, so every room gets full speed rather than a relayed signal.

    Why the router in the hallway cannot cover your house

    One router is designed to cover a flat. Thick walls, extensions, three storeys and a garden office are beyond it, and boosters just repeat a weak signal. We survey the property, then fit ceiling or wall access points where the signal is needed, wired back to the router so every one of them runs at full speed.

    • Free WiFi survey with a heat map of where the signal actually reaches
    • Ubiquiti UniFi or TP Link Omada access points, discreet and ceiling mounted
    • Wired backbone in Cat6 so the access points never fight each other
    • Garden offices, annexes and outbuildings covered with point to point links
    • Guest networks, parental controls and separate networks for cameras and smart devices

    How a WiFi install works

    Survey

    We walk the property with a signal meter and finds the dead spots and the reasons for them. Free, takes about 45 minutes.

    Design and quote

    A plan showing where each access point goes and how it is cabled, with a fixed price. Usually sent the same day.

    Install

    Access points fitted, cables run and made good, the network configured and named sensibly. Most homes are done in a day.

    Test and handover

    Speed tested in every room you told us mattered, then set up on all your devices before we leave.

    WiFi terms without the jargon

    Access point
    A WiFi transmitter on the ceiling, wired to the router. Several of them give whole house coverage on one network name.
    Mesh
    Wireless units that relay to each other. Fine for a flat, weaker than wired access points in a house.
    Backbone
    The Cat6 cables running from the router to each access point, so the WiFi never has to relay.
    Guest network
    A separate WiFi for visitors that cannot see your devices.
    Ubiquiti UniFi
    The professional WiFi kit we fit most. One app, one login, every room.
    Starlink
    Satellite broadband for rural homes the landline cannot reach.

    WiFi and networking questions

    Will I need a new broadband provider?

    Usually not. Most WiFi problems are inside the house, not on the line. We fix the coverage first and only recommend changing provider or moving to Starlink or 4G if the incoming speed is genuinely the problem.

    Is mesh WiFi good enough?

    For small and medium homes, a wired mesh system like TP Link Deco works well. For larger or older properties, dedicated access points cabled back to a switch are far more reliable. We will recommend whichever suits the building, not the most expensive option.

    Can you cover my garden office?

    Yes. Depending on distance and whether there is a route for a cable, we either run Cat6 to the office or fit a point to point wireless link on the outside of both buildings. Either way the office gets its own access point and full speed.

    Does it cost a lot to run cables?

    Less than most people expect. A typical three access point install with cables run and made good is from around £650. The cabling is what makes the WiFi reliable, so it is money well spent compared to a shelf of boosters.

    Can you help with rural broadband near Dover, Romney Marsh or the Weald?

    Yes. We install Starlink and 4G or 5G routers with external antennas for properties where the landline speed is too slow to be useful. We check what signal is available before you commit to anything.

    How long does a WiFi install take?

    A typical three access point install is one day, including the cabling. A single access point is two to three hours.

    Can you use my existing router?

    Usually. We keep your broadband router and add access points behind it. If the router is the problem we will say so and quote a replacement.
