Why Choose Rudi Electrics for Home Network Installation Edmonton?
Your concerns answered — here’s why Edmonton homeowners trust us to wire their homes for fast, reliable connectivity.
“Can you install the network points and power sockets at the same time? I don’t want two different tradespeople.”
Absolutely — and this is exactly where we shine. As qualified electricians, we install power outlets alongside network points in one visit. We can add dedicated circuits for your network equipment, install UPS-protected sockets, and ensure your entire home office setup has reliable power and data in the same job.
“Is this proper electrical work? I want someone qualified, not just a bloke who’s done it a few times.”
All our work is carried out by NICEIC registered electricians who understand both power and data cabling. Every installation follows BS 7671 standards — so there’s no need to coordinate separate electricians and network installers. One qualified team, one job, one certificate.
“I’ve heard cheap network cable causes problems years later. What equipment do you actually use?”
We only install premium CAT6 cable rated for 10 Gigabit speeds, professional-grade RJ45 sockets, and enterprise-quality network equipment. CAT6 future-proofs your home for the next 20+ years. We don’t cut corners with cheap cable that fails — every component is specified to last.
“How do I know the network points will actually be in the right places for my home?”
Every installation starts with a free site survey. We walk your home, identify the best cable routes, position network points where you’ll actually use them, and design WiFi coverage to eliminate dead zones in every room. Nothing is guesswork — you get a custom plan for your property before any work begins.
Home Network & WiFi Installation in Edmonton N9, N18
Edmonton is our home base — we operate directly from N18 — home network installations are increasingly popular across Edmonton as more residents work from home and need reliable wired connectivity. N9 and N18 has a high proportion of HMO and rental properties — landlord compliance work is a big part of what we do here.
Most Edmonton network installations involve CAT6 cable run through loft spaces and under floors to avoid surface trunking — we plan every route carefully during the free site survey. We can combine with smart home installation on the same visit. We cover Edmonton as part of our wider home network & WiFi installation service across North London.

Home Network & WiFi Installation Edmonton — Across All Property Types
From wired CAT6 ethernet to whole-home WiFi mesh — we install home networks across Edmonton N9 and N18.
Victorian & Edwardian Properties
📍 Fore Street, Upper Edmonton N18, Hertford Road, Bounces Road
Edmonton's Victorian terraces on Fore Street and Hertford Road have thick solid walls and long runs from the hallway router to back bedrooms. Period features including original cornicing and lath-and-plaster ceilings make surface cabling unacceptable. Many N18 terraces have been converted to multi-occupancy use — shared WiFi causes congestion and security issues.
CAT6 ethernet runs through the loft void and down to each floor. Access points ceiling-mounted in the hallway, landing, and rear bedroom give full coverage without touching original plasterwork. Where properties have been HMO-converted, we install separate SSIDs per tenant area on the same physical infrastructure.
1930s–1960s Semis
📍 Montagu Road, Durham Road, Silver Street, Plevna Road
Edmonton's interwar semis on Montagu Road and Durham Road have solid brick internal walls that kill WiFi range between rooms. Garages converted to home offices are common in N9 and N18 — but WiFi extenders struggle to bridge the distance to the rear of the plot. Many properties have had extensions added at various dates, each creating new dead zones.
CAT6 run through the loft to each room and into garage or extension. Mesh access points on wired ethernet backhaul — full broadband speed in the home office regardless of distance from the router. Extension circuits and garage cabling completed in the same visit where possible.
Modern Flats & New Builds
📍 Meridian Water N18, Edmonton Green, Angel Edmonton, Advent Way
Meridian Water and Edmonton Green's purpose-built flats often have a single telecoms point in the hallway with no provision for bedroom or living room ethernet. Concrete floors and ceilings make drilling between flats impossible — all cabling must stay within the flat. Multiple streaming devices across a small flat create WiFi congestion even in modern builds.
Ethernet sockets installed in the living room and main bedroom, routed through the flat's internal voids and wall chases. Mesh access point in the living room on wired backhaul eliminates dead zones. All smart home devices — Shelly, Reolink cameras, smart TV — on wired ethernet for reliability.
Garden Offices & Extended Properties
📍 Throughout Edmonton N9 and N18 — rear extensions, HMOs, outbuildings
Edmonton's extended terraces and HMO conversions often have garden offices or rear outbuildings that rely on WiFi extenders connected via extension leads. N18 properties with long rear gardens can't get reliable signal to a garden office, and video calls drop regularly. Extension cable running across the garden is a tripping hazard and fails in winter.
Armoured CAT6 buried from the consumer unit to the garden office — full broadband speed, weatherproof, and permanent. Sub-panel in the garden office provides power and data. Access point inside gives WiFi coverage to the garden area too. All done in a single visit with the electrical supply.

Home Network & WiFi Installation Edmonton — Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions Edmonton homeowners ask us most before booking a home network or WiFi installation.
For official electrical safety guidance, visit Electrical Safety First.
How much does home network installation cost in Edmonton? ▼
Home network and WiFi installation in Edmonton starts from around £250 for a single room with ethernet and access point, up to £800–£1,500 for a full-house CAT6 structured cabling installation with multiple access points and a patch panel. We provide a written fixed price after a free site survey. Call 07932 772 050 or use the contact form for a free quote.
Can you install network cables without damaging my walls? ▼
Yes — we specialise in discreet installation methods including routing cables through loft spaces, under suspended timber floors, behind skirting boards, and through existing void spaces. Surface trunking matched to your skirting profile is used where concealed runs aren't practical. We discuss all options during the site survey and work cleanly throughout — leaving no mess behind.
Will a wired ethernet connection actually be faster than my WiFi? ▼
Yes, in almost every case. Hardwired ethernet provides consistent full-speed connections — 1Gbps on most home networks — with no interference, no signal drop-off through walls, and far lower latency. Even the best WiFi 6 routers can't match the reliability of a wired connection for video calls, remote working, gaming, and 4K streaming. The difference is immediately noticeable.
What is a mesh WiFi system and do I actually need one? ▼
A mesh WiFi system uses multiple access points working as one seamless network, eliminating dead zones. You'll benefit from one if you have thick walls, multiple floors, a larger property, WiFi that doesn't reach certain rooms, or dropped connections when moving around. A professionally installed mesh system with wired backhaul — access points connected via ethernet — gives the best possible performance.
How long does a home network installation take? ▼
Timescales depend on scope. A single room (2–3 data points) typically takes 2–4 hours. A whole-home installation (6–10 points) takes 1–2 days. A mesh WiFi system installation including setup and optimisation takes 2–4 hours. Jobs involving concealed cabling through solid walls may take a little longer. We provide accurate time estimates during the free site survey.
Can you install network points for PoE devices like cameras and access points? ▼
Yes. We install PoE (Power over Ethernet) infrastructure for security cameras, ceiling-mounted access points, video doorbells, and smart entry systems — delivering both power and data through a single cable with no separate power supply needed. We can also wire network points for smart TVs, gaming consoles, NAS drives, and home automation hubs wherever you need them.
Do I need a network switch and patch panel, or just a router? ▼
For 4 or more network points, we recommend a patch panel and switch installed in a neat wall-mounted cabinet. This gives you a central hub where all cables terminate — making the system easy to manage, expand, and troubleshoot. For 1–3 points, cables can run directly from your router without additional hardware. We'll advise the right setup for your property during the survey.
Can you upgrade my existing home network rather than starting from scratch? ▼
Yes. We can add new network points to an existing installation, upgrade old CAT5e runs to CAT6, replace a standard router with a managed switch and access points, or add a mesh system on top of existing wiring. We always assess what you have first and recommend cost-effective upgrades — we won't replace something that doesn't need replacing.
How much does home network installation cost in North London? ▼
Pricing depends on what's involved. As a guide: a single ethernet network point starts from £99 including installation and testing. Whole-home CAT6 installations (6–8 points) from £800. Professional mesh WiFi systems installed with wired backhaul from £600. All prices are fixed and agreed upfront after a free site survey — no surprises on the day.
Is home network installation proper electrical work? Do I need a certificate? ▼
Data cabling itself doesn't require electrical certification, but any associated power work — installing sockets for network equipment, dedicated circuits, or PoE switch power supplies — is notifiable electrical work. We're NICEIC registered electricians, so we can handle both the data and power elements in one visit and issue the correct certificates. This matters for insurance and future property sales.
My WiFi is fine in most rooms — do I really need hardwired ethernet? ▼
Not always — but if you work from home, game online, stream 4K, or use a NAS, you'll notice the difference immediately. Even one wired connection to a home office desk or TV setup eliminates the most frustrating dropped connections and speeds up large transfers significantly. Many customers start with a single room and then extend once they see the improvement.
