Wi-Fi Access Points
Whole-Home Wi-Fi Mesh
That Actually Works Everywhere
Dead-spot bedroom, buffering garden office, video calls that drop every time you walk past the airing cupboard? An ISP router in the hallway can't cover a modern house. We install dedicated ceiling or wall access points, wired back to your router, and the black spots disappear.

Why professional install matters
A small fault today is a bigger bill tomorrow.
What ignoring it can cost you
- Work-from-home productivity draining away 10 minutes at a time
- Streaming quality quietly downshifting to 720p, the whole point of the 4K TV wasted
- Smart-home devices randomly falling off the network, locks, thermostats, security cameras
- Children glued to a phone hotspot because the house Wi-Fi doesn't reach their room
- Endless expensive mesh boxes bought and stacked with no real improvement
Common DIY mistakes we get called back to fix
- Stacking Wi-Fi extenders that all talk over the same channel, actually makes things worse
- Placing the router in a metal-lined utility cupboard, signal loses half its range on the way out
- Buying a Wi-Fi 7 router but leaving 15-year-old devices connected, they drag the whole network to their speed
- Not enabling wired back-haul on a mesh system that supports it
- Ignoring the 5GHz band, everything defaults to slow, congested 2.4GHz
A clear five-step system, no surprises.
You'll know exactly what's happening at every stage. No jargon, no gotchas, no charging you for parts you don't need.
- 01Step 1
Wi-Fi site survey
We walk the property with signal-strength tools, identify dead spots, existing interference (neighbours, Bluetooth, microwaves) and the ideal access point positions.
- 02Step 2
Design
Recommend the right number of access points, whether a single strong AP or a wired multi-AP system is right, and cable routes for PoE.
- 03Step 3
Cable & AP install
PoE cabling run neatly through lofts and voids to each ceiling or wall-mount position. Access points fitted flush.
- 04Step 4
Controller setup
Access points bonded to a single SSID (Wi-Fi name), roaming enabled so devices switch cleanly from AP to AP, guest network configured if wanted.
- 05Step 5
Test & handover
Coverage re-tested in every room, speed test on each AP, phone walkthrough of the guest network and how to add a device. 2-year warranty logged.
What a proper install actually gets you.
Coverage everywhere
Every bedroom, the garden, the office at the bottom of the garden | all one strong Wi-Fi network.
Full ISP speed reaches every device
No more paying for 1Gb broadband that only the router itself can see.
Seamless roaming
Walk from kitchen to bedroom on a video call | the phone hands off between APs cleanly, no dropped call.
Guest network
Visitors on their own separate SSID with no access to your home devices or shared drives.
Room to grow
Add cameras, smart plugs, doorbells and locks without any of them dragging the network down.
2-year warranty
Parts and labour | access points, cabling and controller. If anything fails inside 24 months we come back at no cost.

Get a straight-talking quoteWired access points vs mesh, the honest difference
Wired access points: every AP has its own Cat6 back to the router. Full ISP speed to every AP, no throughput lost between hops. The gold standard, and what we always recommend where cabling is feasible.
Mesh with wired back-haul: a consumer mesh system (Netgear Orbi, Ubiquiti AmpliFi, TP-Link Deco etc.) with the nodes linked by cable rather than Wi-Fi. Nearly as good as separate APs, easier to set up, works well in most homes.
Wireless mesh (no cables): the everyone-buys-this option. Convenient, but every hop halves your throughput. Fine as a last resort in a small flat; not the answer for a proper house.
We'll advise honestly on which one is right for your property on the free survey, sometimes the answer is that your existing router is fine and just needs relocating.
Where the access points go
Ideal AP positions are centred in the ceiling of the largest rooms they serve, landing (upstairs), hallway (downstairs), garden office. Wall-mount is a fine alternative where ceiling install isn't possible.
We aim for one AP per floor in most houses, with additional APs added for garden offices, converted lofts and outbuildings.
Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) is our default spec, mature, well-supported by all recent phones, tablets and laptops, and dramatically better than Wi-Fi 5 in busy households with lots of devices.
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) is worth specifying in commercial installs and for future-proofing high-end domestic. Devices supporting it are still limited in 2026, but that will change quickly.
Guest networks, VLANs and smart-home isolation
We can set up a separate guest SSID, visitors get internet but can't see your home devices or shared drives.
For families running lots of smart-home devices (cameras, plugs, thermostats), we can put them on a separate VLAN so a compromised smart plug can't reach your laptop. Optional but sensible.
Residential vs commercial
Home installs focus on discreet ceiling/wall APs and simple management. Commercial installs (cafés, salons, small offices) add captive-portal guest Wi-Fi, better bandwidth management, and often integration with a paid-for controller system for reporting.

How much does a Wi-Fi installation cost?
+
Depends on square footage, cable-run difficulty and number of access points needed. A typical 3-bed with two APs is a fixed-price job we'll quote after a free site survey, call 07733 555269.
How long does the installation take?
+
A single-AP install with easy loft access is 2–3 hours. A whole-house install with 3+ APs, cabling and controller setup is usually a full day.
Will you make a mess of my ceilings?
+
Access points fit flush with a small ceiling rose, the only mark is one neat 15mm hole per AP for the cable. Most cable runs are through lofts, so ceilings below don't get touched.
Can you make my garden office get Wi-Fi?
+
Yes, most reliable answer is an outdoor-grade Cat6 cable in armoured conduit out to the office, with an AP mounted inside. Way better than trying to blast Wi-Fi through walls.
Do I need to replace my ISP router?
+
Usually no, the ISP router keeps handling internet and DHCP; we just plug the access points into a spare LAN port. In some cases (very old routers) we recommend replacing.
Will my old devices still work?
+
Yes, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points are backward-compatible with everything. The new AP won't slow anything down.
Is Wi-Fi 6 worth it?
+
Yes, especially in households with lots of devices (10+). Wi-Fi 6 handles many simultaneous connections far better than Wi-Fi 5.
Can you set up a guest network?
+
Yes, separate SSID with its own password, no access to your home devices. Standard on every install.
What's the warranty?
+
Two years on parts and labour, access points, cabling and controller. If anything fails inside 24 months we come back at no cost.
