Highly recommend
David installed a new home wifi network for us covering all of our rooms as well as the garden. Work was done on time and on budget and David was really helpful throughout. I have recommended him to friends since.Job location: SW1410 WiFi Distribution

Very pleased customer!
Experiencing problems with poor WiFi signal despite being on a top package from our WiFi provider. We have no technical expertise so asked David to see what he could do. After a house visit he discussed options to help and suggested an additional router in a better spot (being mindful about aesthetics and where he could best place it to ensure it blends in). Quoted very quickly and extremely reasonable price (much cheaper than DIY systems we were investigating). Installation was very quick and professional. Extremely happy with the service and our new WiFi speeds!Verified reviewerJob location: SW1910 Cabling

Excellent customer service
David was very polite in communications prior to booking, he re-adjusted his booking to make the time to come out. David was courteous and worked very hard to ensure the right level of quality. He didn't leave until my entire network was working perfectly. Much respect and gratitude, very definition of excellent customer service.Verified reviewerJob location: KT710 WiFi Distribution

Garden office WiFi
David was super responsive to our enquiry and able to survey the site within 24 hours and complete the work not long after. He was on time, friendly and super knowledgeable. The job was a bit more complicated than expected but he managed to solve it. Would definitely recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: KT4RRozy M10 Broadband Fault Finding

The WiFi in our garden room stopped working. I found David on Checkatrade, called him and he attended the next day and fixed the problem. David kept informed on his arrival time and was punctual. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: RH6
