Before full-fibre installation

Ask about router position before the installer starts

Fast fibre does not automatically mean strong Wi-Fi in every room. Where practical, ask whether the router can be positioned nearer the middle of the home—not simply at the easiest entry point.

A central, open position can help Wi-Fi reach more of the property. Avoid cupboards, the floor and spots hidden behind a television where possible.

Nick will discuss the problems you have noticed, check your router and WiFi coverage, and look at how your devices are connected. He will try straightforward adjustments before recommending additional equipment.

How much does a visit cost?

A home visit costs £40, including the first hour. Any additional time is charged at £25 per hour. Nick will discuss the work with you before continuing.

Do I need to buy a new router or WiFi booster?

Not necessarily. Moving or adjusting your existing router may improve the signal. If additional equipment could help, Nick will explain the options without pressuring you to buy anything.

Can you help with WiFi in an outside room or garden office?

Yes. Nick can assess the distance, building layout and existing signal, then explain the practical options for extending your connection.

Can you help me deal with my broadband provider?

Nick can help identify whether the problem is likely to be inside your home or related to the broadband service. You can then give your provider clearer information about the fault.

Can you connect my television, printer or other devices?

Yes. Nick can help connect everyday devices including smart televisions, computers, tablets, phones and wireless printers.
