Questions we're often asked
Managed IT
Do you work with businesses of any size?
Our services are designed for established SMEs. In most cases, businesses with fewer than five users aren’t the right fit for our model. From five users upwards, we provide a tailored service where security, reliability, and attention to detail come as standard.
How quickly do you respond to issues?
We pride ourselves on being proactive, but when issues do arise, you’ll usually hear back from us within the hour. Every request is handled by our core team. so you always get a fast, focused response from someone who already knows your business.
How do you keep our business secure?
Security isn’t an add on – it’s embedded into everything we do. Every device, users, and connection is protected by enterprise-grade defences, monitored around the clock by a dedicated Security Operations Centre (SOC). Combined with continual updates and proactive guidance, this ensures your business is always protected against evolving threats.
How much should we expect to invest?
We don’t publish standard pricing, but every client invests at a consistent level. It’s typically less than maintaining an in-house IT team, while still delivering the expertise, security and breadth of service that only a specialist partner can provide.
Do you include Microsoft licensing in your service?
Licensing is billed in addition to our managed service fee as every business has unique needs. We’ll advise on the most appropriate Microsoft plans and manage them for you – ensuring cost efficiency without compromise on security or functionality.
Do you provide business hardware?
Yes. We source and supply business-class devices that meet our standards for reliability and security. Every device we provide is configured and maintained by us, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your environment.
Can you help us achieve Cyber Essentials certification?
Yes. Our managed IT service is built around security by default, which means much of the Cyber Essentials framework is already covered as standard. We’ll guide you through the process, make sure policies and configurations are aligned, and support you all the way to certification.
Do you handle physical networks and installation work?
Yes. From structured cabling and switching to networks and on-site installation, we take care of the infrastructure as well as the management. This ensures every layer of your IT – from the ground up – is built and maintained to the same high standard.
How do you take over from my current provider?
We handle the transition with care to avoid disruption. Once you become a client, we liaise directly with your existing provider to take over management of systems, licences and security. The process is designed to be seamless — so your team experiences continuity while we put stronger foundations in place.
Connectivity
Do you provide leased lines and broadband?
Yes. We arrange dedicated leased lines and premium business broadband, ensuring every connection is resilient, secure and tailored to the way you work. In most cases, this is part of the wider service we provide for our managed clients, but we’re happy to advise on standalone opportunities where the right fit exists.
Do you manage business mobile contracts?
Yes. We can arrange business mobile plans with all the major UK networks – including O2, Vodafone and EE. By managing this on your behalf, we remove the hassle of dealing with multiple providers and ensure your mobiles sit nearly under the same point of contact as the rest of your IT.
Support
What are your standard support hours?
Our core support hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30AM – 5PM. Outside these times your environment is still monitored 24/7 by the Security Operations Centre (SOC).
Do you provide out-of-hours support?
All client environments are monitored around the clock by a Security Operations Centre (SOC). If an issue is detected that poses a risk, we respond immediately – regardless of the hour.
While day to day support is provided during business hours, out-of-hours assistance can be arranged if required.
How do we contact you for support?
Support provided by phone, email and WhatsApp. However you choose to reach us, you’ll always connect directly with our core team.
