Placed advert Thursday. Contacted same day by Mike with a view to coming out and quoting next day. Came on time priced the job on Friday and arranged to start work on the Tuesday.

Both very old school and worked at their own pace - happy with work carried out and will use them again. Reasonable price too.
Over the past six years, I have dedicated myself to the field of network engineering, gaining extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in the installation of various systems. Specifically, I have been focused on installing CCTV systems throughout the London area, ensuring that homes and businesses are equipped with the necessary security measures to protect their properties. In addition to my work with CCTV, I have also been actively involved in setting up domestic home networks, providing reliable internet connections that meet the demands of modern living. Throughout my time in this industry, I have observed a significant issue: many residential properties are not properly connected, either in terms of their internet capabilities or their CCTV systems. This lack of proper installation can lead to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and overall dissatisfaction for homeowners. It is my goal to leverage my expertise and experience to help you achieve a well-connected property that meets your specific needs. I take great pride in valuing each and every one of my customers, and I am committed to investing the necessary time and effort to design and implement a system that works seamlessly for you. Whether you are looking to install a comprehensive CCTV system or enhance your internet connectivity, I understand that these installations require careful planning and consideration to ensure they fit the unique requirements of your home. With my skills and dedication, I am confident that we can work together to create an effective solution that enhances your property’s security and connectivity.
