Data Cabling, Network and Wi-Fi Installation in London
Our data cabling and Wi-Fi installation service gives London homes and businesses fast, reliable internet in every room, because Wi-Fi alone struggles with thick walls, long flats and busy offices. As a result, a wired network is often the only lasting fix.
For example, we install Cat6 data cabling, Ethernet points and Wi-Fi access points for home offices, flats, houses, shops and offices. In addition, every cable is tested and labelled before we leave.

What our network cabling service includes
Because every property is different, each data networking job is planned around how you use it. Also, we keep cable runs hidden wherever possible for a clean finish.
Site survey and network plan
First, we walk the property and plan every data point, access point and cable route, because good planning saves time.
Cat6 data cabling
Next, we run Cat6 cable to each room. We can also install Cat6A where you need 10 Gb speeds over longer runs.
RJ45 data points
In addition, we fit neat flush or surface data points in offices, bedrooms, living rooms and behind TVs.
Wi-Fi installation and access points
Also, we install ceiling-mounted Ubiquiti UniFi access points. Because they are powered over the data cable, you get strong Wi-Fi in every room.
Patch panels and cabinets
Furthermore, we terminate every cable into a labelled patch panel, with a wall cabinet or rack where required.
CCTV and smart devices
For example, we cable IP cameras, video doorbells, smart TVs and gaming consoles for a stable connection.
Data cabling installed to BS 6701
We install data cabling in line with BS 6701, because it is the British Standard for telecommunications cabling. In addition, we follow BS 7671 so data and power cables are kept properly separated.
As a result, your network runs at full speed without interference. Moreover, every run stays within the 90-metre permanent link limit for Cat6 cabling.
Ethernet points or Wi-Fi access points?
Most properties need both, because each one suits different devices. For example, a desk or TV gets a wired point, while phones and laptops use access points.
Wired Ethernet points
This is best for home offices, desktops, TVs and gaming, because nothing beats a cable. Therefore, you get the fastest speed and the lowest latency.
Wi-Fi access points
This is best for whole-home coverage. Unlike mesh systems, each access point has its own cable. Therefore, the speed stays high.
Comms cabinet
Also, this suits offices and larger homes. In addition, it keeps the router, switch and patch panel tidy in one place.
Who needs network cabling or Wi-Fi installation?
We also provide data networking for homes and commercial properties across London. In particular, we often work alongside refurbishments, rewires and office fit-outs.
When do you need a wired network?
In short, data networking is worth it when Wi-Fi can no longer keep up. For example, book a survey when:
- Wi-Fi is slow or drops out in some rooms
- Video calls freeze while you work from home
- Thick walls or long flats block the signal
- You are refurbishing or rewiring the property
- You are adding CCTV, smart TVs or doorbells
Also, the Ofcom guide to improving your Wi-Fi explains why a wired connection is more reliable.
How our data cable installation works
Because every property is different, our data networking jobs follow four clear steps.
Survey
First, we visit the property because we need to check your router position and agree where each data point should go.
Quote
Next, you receive a clear, fixed written quote. As a result, there are no hidden extras.
Install
After that, we run and terminate the data cabling neatly. In addition, we keep disruption to a minimum.
Test and hand over
Finally, we test and label every point, and we also set up your Wi-Fi access points.

Data cabling and Wi-Fi installation FAQs
How much does data cabling cost in London?
Because every job differs, it depends on the number of data points and how easy the cable routes are. However, we always survey first and then give you a fixed written quote.
Can you install data points in a finished house or flat?
Yes, for example, we use existing voids, skirting routes and neat trunking where needed. As a result, disruption and redecorating are kept to a minimum.
Is wired Ethernet better than Wi-Fi for working from home?
Yes, because a wired connection is faster, more stable and has lower latency. Therefore, it is ideal for video calls, VPNs and large file transfers.
Which Wi-Fi access points do you install?
We mainly install Ubiquiti UniFi access points because they are reliable. In addition, they are powered over the data cable (PoE), so each one only needs a single Cat6 run.
Should I choose Cat6 or Cat6A cabling?
For example, Cat6 is ideal for most homes. However, Cat6A is worth it for offices, long runs or where you want 10 Gb speeds over the full 90 metres.
Do you test and certify the data cabling?
Yes, first of all, every point is tested and clearly labelled. In addition, you receive a list of results matched to the patch panel.
