Professional WiFi, Cat6 & managed networks
Need a professional home network and WiFi installer in North London? We survey weak rooms, dead zones, wired-device needs and practical cable routes, then install structured Cat6 cabling and correctly positioned access points so the whole system works together.
The plan before the products
Coverage, cable routes and wired devices are surveyed before equipment is selected. Cat6 cabling is tested and labelled at handover, with wired access points and UniFi or TP-Link Omada equipment configured around the way the home is used.
The questions homeowners ask first
Worried about visible cables, another WiFi system that still does not reach, replacing existing equipment or losing internet during the work? Here is what we check and agree before installation.
We agree every cable route, drilling point and visible section before installation starts. Where practical, we use lofts, cupboards, floor voids or discreet containment, protect the working area and leave it tidy. If part of a route must remain visible, you see and approve it first.
We test the rooms and devices that are struggling, check the incoming broadband connection and identify what walls, floors or distance are affecting coverage. The access points and wired connections are then positioned for those real weak areas rather than based on a theoretical WiFi range.
Not automatically. We check whether your existing router, switches and connected devices can remain, then recommend only the equipment needed for the agreed result. The proposal also distinguishes a weak in-home network from an incoming broadband-speed problem that new WiFi equipment cannot correct.
There may be a short planned interruption when new equipment is connected and the network changes over, but installing the cable routes does not normally require the broadband to remain off. We agree the changeover timing, then reconnect and test the important wired and wireless devices before handover.

Swipe through the network situations
For households needing dependable coverage across the rooms they actually use.
For desks, televisions, consoles and network equipment that benefit from direct Cat6.
For homes combining trusted computers, guests, cameras and smart products.
For lofts, rear additions, studios and garden offices outside the original router footprint.
WiFi and structured cabling together
A properly designed home network is fast, resilient and segmented for security. These are the wired and managed building blocks we can specify after surveying the property.
Swipe through the installation options
Cat6 runs to the rooms that need wired connections, with Cat6a available where full-distance 10-gigabit capability is required, terminated to keystone RJ45 wall sockets and a patch panel. Rated for 2.5G and 10G, so multi-gigabit internal transfers and NAS access are possible where the cabling run and connected equipment support them. Every drop tested for connectivity and labelled.
Ceiling and wall access points hardwired back on Cat6a — not daisy-chained mesh hops that halve your speed. One SSID, fast roaming across every floor and the garden, and full throughput in the rooms that used to drop. WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 ready.
Separate, firewalled networks for Main, Work, IoT, CCTV and Guest. Firewall rules control exactly what can talk to what — so correctly configured firewall rules can restrict IoT devices from reaching work devices and file storage. This is the single biggest security upgrade most homes are missing.
Your cameras, doorbell, smart bulbs and plugs live on their own VLAN — able to do their job, walled off from everything else. Cameras record to the NVR without touching the internet or your main LAN. PoE means one Cat6a run powers each device, no wall-warts.
A proper gateway and PoE-managed switch (Ubiquiti UniFi or TP-Link Omada) replaces the ISP all-in-one, which goes into bridge mode. Single-pane management, per-device controls and remote monitoring — so I can support and tune your network without a call-out.
Everything terminated neatly in a wall-mounted rack — gateway, switch, patch panel and power in one tidy spot. You get a labelled patch panel, a network diagram and documented VLANs, so any future work is quick and clean.

From weak rooms to a tested handover
A clear, six-step process — from free survey to a tested, documented handover.
Swipe through the installation process
We visit your property to assess layout, construction, and usage requirements. We identify optimal cable routes, access point locations, and discuss your connectivity needs in detail.
We create a bespoke network design with cable plans, equipment specifications, and a detailed written quote covering labour and all materials. No hidden costs.
Professional CAT6 cabling installed through walls, ceilings, and voids. We use proper cable management, trunking where needed, and protect your property throughout.
All cables are terminated to professional RJ45 sockets or patch panels. We test every connection for continuity and negotiated link performance against the installed cabling and connected equipment.
If you're having WiFi access points or network equipment installed, we configure everything for optimal performance — including SSID setup, security, and clean handover between access points.
Full system testing, speed verification, and demonstration. You receive documentation, WiFi passwords, and guidance on managing your new network infrastructure.
This reflects a real-world network problem we come across frequently in North London homes: broadband speed at the entry point and useful coverage around the property are not always the same thing.
The homeowner identifies the rooms, devices and times when dropouts or slow connections cause the most frustration.
We compare the incoming broadband connection with the in-home WiFi and wired network so new equipment is not asked to solve the wrong problem.
Useful Cat6 routes and access-point positions are agreed around the building, finishes and the way each room is used.
Installed runs, wired devices and wireless coverage are tested, labelled and explained before handover.

What the customer is really buyingReliable rooms, calmer working days and a network that no longer needs constant attention.
A network should support the home quietly
A fast broadband package can still feel unreliable when the router is in the wrong part of the property, solid walls block the signal or fixed devices are competing over WiFi.
We start with the rooms that matter: the desk used for video calls, the television that buffers, the loft room that drops out or the garden office beyond the original house. Then we separate the incoming broadband problem from the in-home network problem.
The solution may be one better-positioned access point, a few carefully chosen Cat6 points or a complete managed network. The equipment follows the survey, not the other way around.
Use wired connections for the fixed jobs, place wireless coverage where people actually use it, and leave the whole system understandable at handover.
The property changes the plan
Four property and usage patterns that affect cable routes, access-point positions and equipment choices in North London. Construction, ownership and room use change the correct network design.

Common challengeFor households needing dependable coverage across the rooms they actually use. How is a whole-home network designed? Wall construction, room use, the broadband entry point, neighbouring networks and available cable routes all need to be checked before equipment quantity or position is fixed.
Survey construction, room use and cable routes before deciding access-point positions and equipment quantities. We test the weak areas, identify wired-device and wireless requirements, agree Cat6 routes and position access points so coverage, roaming and future maintenance follow the real layout.
Common challengeFor desks, televisions, consoles and network equipment that benefit from direct Cat6. Which devices should use Ethernet instead of WiFi? Wall construction, room use, the broadband entry point, neighbouring networks and available cable routes all need to be checked before equipment quantity or position is fixed.
Prioritise fixed high-use equipment and locations where latency or consistent throughput matters. We test the weak areas, identify wired-device and wireless requirements, agree Cat6 routes and position access points so coverage, roaming and future maintenance follow the real layout.
Common challengeFor homes combining trusted computers, guests, cameras and smart products. When are VLANs useful at home? Wall construction, room use, the broadband entry point, neighbouring networks and available cable routes all need to be checked before equipment quantity or position is fixed.
They help separate device groups and control access between them when managed equipment is appropriate for the household. We test the weak areas, identify wired-device and wireless requirements, agree Cat6 routes and position access points so coverage, roaming and future maintenance follow the real layout.
Common challengeFor lofts, rear additions, studios and garden offices outside the original router footprint. How are added spaces connected permanently? Distance, outdoor exposure, electrical separation and the need for dependable upload as well as download performance make a repeated indoor WiFi signal a poor design assumption.
Use a route-specific Cat6 or fibre backbone with a local outlet, switch or access point where required. The route is measured for protected copper or fibre, with suitable containment, termination, earthing considerations where applicable and a local switch or access point sized for the devices in the separate space.

Answers for North London properties, followed by practical questions about cabling, access points and managed networks.
The £99 starting price is specifically for either:
Everything else gets quoted after a free site survey: multiple ethernet drops, full-home structured cabling, garden-office runs, office network setups with switches and racks, point-to-point bridges. We walk the property, plan cable routes, signal-test for dead zones, then send you a written fixed quote.
What changes the quote: number of network points / RJ45 sockets, cable routing complexity (loft access, brick walls, soffit boxing, conduit), managed switch / patch panel needs, wireless access points, and any outdoor or outbuilding extensions.
One trip, fixed quote, no daily-rate creep. Business installs itemised so they may be tax-deductible — check with your accountant.
WiFi blackspots in homes and offices come from physics — wireless signal weakens through brick walls, foil-backed insulation, and distance from the router. Common dead-zone patterns:
What actually fixes it (in order of effectiveness):
What doesn’t work long-term: WiFi extenders / repeaters cut speed in half. We rarely recommend them.
Each has its place:
Mesh WiFi (wireless mesh network) — multiple nodes talking to each other wirelessly. Good for 3-bed homes, single-floor offices, no cable runs needed. Limitations: speeds drop with each hop; thick walls still problematic.
Ethernet cabling (CAT6 / CAT6A hardwired structured cabling) — proper network cable to network points throughout your space. Good for gigabit speeds at every socket, future-proofing, larger and business properties. The gold standard.
Powerline adapters (HomePlug / ethernet over power) — sends data through your existing electrical wiring. Good for cheap fix or single dead room. Limitations: speeds drop sharply on older wiring or split RCBOs.
Our default for most installs: CAT6 ethernet to 2–4 access points — wired backbone, wireless coverage. For tight budgets or rentals, a 3-node mesh kit. Powerline only as a temporary fix.
Honest version: most ISP-supplied broadband routers / hubs / gateways are designed cheap, not great. They cover the room they’re in and a bit beyond.
ISP routers tend to fail when:
What we install instead:
This isn’t ‘rip out and replace’ — we layer proper networking on top of your existing broadband.
Yes — we install small-business and office networks across North London. Standard small-office setup includes:
We work around your business hours — most installs in one full day or split over a weekend to avoid downtime. Hand-over with a network map, switch port labelling, admin login details. Invoice itemised for tax/accounts purposes. Final price quoted after a free site survey. Running a shop, café or restaurant rather than an office? See our dedicated commercial network installation page for guest WiFi, till/POS separation and trading-hours scheduling.
A wireless access point (WAP, also called AP or hotspot) is a ceiling- or wall-mounted device that broadcasts WiFi. Unlike a router, it doesn’t manage your internet — it just provides wireless coverage. Powered by ethernet (PoE), one cable run does both data and power.
How many you need:
Why APs beat consumer mesh: dedicated APs (UniFi, TP-Link Omada, Netgear) handle 50+ devices each, support fast handover between APs, and don’t slow with each hop. Mesh is a consumer compromise; APs are the proper solution.
Yes — minimal-mess routing is what we specialise in. Standard routes:
What we never do: chase brick walls or knock holes for cable. If a route truly isn’t achievable, we use cable conduit matched to fascia colour and tell you upfront.
Cable type: CAT6 by default (gigabit, future-proof for most homes/offices). CAT6A if you want 10Gb-ready (heavier cable, more cost, worth it for new commercial fit-outs). CAT5e only on existing intact runs.
A typical 4-point home install — no holes in painted walls, no chasing brick.
Frustrating, and almost always router or signal-side, not your broadband line. Common causes:
Quick test: plug your laptop directly into the router via ethernet for the next call. If stable wired, your WiFi is the problem. If still dropping, the broadband line is — call the ISP.
Proper fix for hybrid workers and home offices: dedicated access point near your work area + ethernet-backhauled. A wired-backhaul design is intended to provide a stable, low-latency connection; final performance still depends on the broadband service and connected equipment.
We install based on use case, not loyalty:
Default choice: Deco for budget homes, UniFi for offices, large homes, tech-fluent households, Omada when budget matters but you want managed gear.
Yes, where the survey confirms a suitable protected cable route or point-to-point wireless path. Two approaches:
Approach 1: Ethernet under-conduit (preferred)
Approach 2: Wireless point-to-point bridge (if cable run is impossible)
For business yards and warehouses: outdoor PoE access points (rated IP66) covering loading bays and exterior staff areas. Common in North London for trade businesses with secondary buildings.
Final cost quoted after a free site survey — depends on cable distance to the outbuilding, ground conditions, and any wall-mounting needed.
Yes — these are standard features of every business install:
For homes: same guest WiFi separation included on UniFi installs, no contract needed unless you want one.
Typical install timeline:
During the install:
Hand-over:
12-month install warranty: if anything we installed stops working within the first year, ring us and we’ll come back at no extra charge. After 12 months, our standard £100 callout applies. Most issues troubleshoot remotely first.
It can help where dropped video calls are caused by WiFi coverage or contention rather than the incoming broadband service. A wired connection to your home-office desk, or a WiFi 6E/7 access point on wired backhaul nearby, gives your work devices a stable, low-latency link that doesn't compete with the rest of the house. Most people working from home across North London notice the difference immediately — no more freezing mid-meeting.
Yes. Lag and jitter come from congested WiFi and long mesh hops. A wired Cat6a run to the console or gaming PC gives the lowest, most consistent ping; where a cable isn't possible, a WiFi 6E access point on the clean 6GHz band keeps the gaming device off the congested 2.4 and 5GHz bands. On a managed gateway I can also prioritise gaming traffic so a big download never spikes your ping mid-match.
It can help where buffering is caused by local WiFi coverage or capacity rather than the incoming broadband service. With WiFi 6E/7 access points wired back on Cat6a, the surveyed rooms can receive appropriately planned coverage, with capacity checked against the expected streaming load. For the main TV I'll usually run a dedicated wired point so the main stream does not have to compete for local WiFi airtime.
