Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can you wire my house for whole-home WiFi?
Yes. We run Cat6 cabling to access point locations so you get a genuine wired backhaul rather than relying on WiFi extenders alone.
-
Do smart thermostats need a separate circuit?
Not usually, but they do need a correctly wired connection back to your heating controls, sometimes with both a mains and a low-voltage cable run. We check compatibility before quoting.
-
What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 cabling?
Cat6 supports higher speeds over longer runs and is better future-proofing. We fit Cat6 as standard unless there’s a specific reason not to.
-
Can you retrofit data cabling into a finished room?
Yes, though it usually means either surface trunking or careful chasing into walls. We will always tell you honestly which approach suits your room before starting.
-
Do you work with existing smart home systems, or just install new ones?
Both. We regularly extend existing Hive, Nest, and home automation setups as well as wiring new ones from scratch.

Getting Smart Home Wiring Right
Smart home tech is only as good as the wiring behind it. A smart thermostat still needs a properly rated cable back to the boiler, and a mesh WiFi point still needs a real ethernet backhaul, not just a plug socket nearby.
We plan cabling routes at first fix wherever possible, before walls are closed up, so cables run through the fabric of the building rather than trunking stuck on afterwards. If you are extending or renovating, this is the point to think about data and smart home wiring, not after the plaster is dry.
If you are also updating sockets or lighting circuits at the same time, it is often worth reviewing them together. See our general electrical services page for the wider picture.
