Questions

What people ask before they get a quote

What should I budget for a professional Wi-Fi installation in Cambridge?
For a typical three-bedroom Cambridge home, expect to pay in the region of £300-£600 for a wired access-point system, depending on the number of access points and how much cable needs running. Commercial installations vary more widely based on the size of the premises and the number of floors involved. Getting a site survey done first means you only pay for what your building actually needs.
What am I likely to pay to have data cabling installed in a small Cambridge office?
A small office fit-out with six to ten network outlets, a patch panel, and a tidy termination setup typically costs in the region of £400-£900, depending on the building layout and how complex the cable routing is. Older Cambridge commercial buildings with solid walls or limited ceiling access can push costs higher. The price per point generally falls as the number of outlets increases.
How is fibre optic cabling priced compared to standard copper network cabling?
Fibre optic cabling costs more per metre than copper Cat6, and the termination and testing equipment required is specialist, so installation costs are higher. For a typical building-to-building run of 50-150 metres with two fibre patch panels terminated and tested, budgets of £800-£2,000 are broadly realistic depending on the route complexity and cable type. Where copper simply cannot do the job - long distances or electrically noisy environments - fibre is the only practical option.
Is it expensive to have an existing network tested and documented?
For a small office with ten to twenty cable runs, a full test, label, and document exercise typically costs in the range of £250-£600 depending on the number of ports, the condition of the existing installation, and whether as-built drawings need to be produced from scratch. Larger or more complex installations cost more, but the investment is usually far less than the cost of downtime caused by a fault nobody can locate quickly.
What should I budget for a commercial CCTV system in Cambridge?
For a small business with four to eight cameras, you should budget roughly £800 to £2,500 installed, depending on cable runs, camera type and the recorder you choose. Larger premises with more cameras, external runs or PTZ units will cost more. We can give you a fixed price once we have seen the site.
How is a point-to-point wireless link priced?
Pricing depends on the distance between buildings, the mounting solution required at each end, and the throughput specification you need. A straightforward link between two buildings within a few hundred metres typically costs between £400 and £1,200 installed. Longer spans, difficult mounting positions or higher-capacity equipment will increase the cost.
Will the installers need to run cables through my walls?
For the most reliable performance, access points are connected by a network cable run back to your router or switch. In most homes this can be routed through loft spaces, under floors, or along skirting with surface trunking to keep things tidy. We always discuss routing options with you before starting so there are no surprises.
What is the difference between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cabling?
Cat5e supports Gigabit speeds and is adequate for basic home use, but Cat6 is now the standard choice for new installations as it handles Gigabit speeds more reliably and leaves room for faster switches in future. Cat6a supports 10-Gigabit speeds over the full 100-metre run length and is worth specifying in server rooms or buildings where long cable runs are unavoidable. For most Cambridge homes and small offices, Cat6 is the practical and cost-effective option.
