Retrofit cabling and difficult routes
Every building has a solution. Retrofit work is rarely straightforward, and difficult routes don't put us off.
Every building has a solution
Existing buildings weren't built with today's cabling in mind. Space is tight, the obvious route is often blocked, and people may be living or working there while we install.
That's the work we want. Our fibre and MDU background means complex routes through risers, corridors and car parks are familiar ground, and we bring the same approach to offices, shops, warehouses and other commercial buildings.
Experience behind it
- Complex cable routing through corridors, risers, common areas and underground car parks
- Reading plans and maps and working out practical routes on site
- Cabling work in existing and occupied buildings
- Underground routes from chambers and building entry points
From A to B, the practical way
- Step 1
Inspect the building
We start with the building itself: the risers, corridors, ceilings, entry points and any containment already in place.
- Step 2
Understand the obstacles
We work out what's in the way and what we can use, reading plans and maps where they're available.
- Step 3
Find the most practical route
We find the most practical and professional way to get the cable from A to B. If the obvious route is blocked, we look for another.
- Step 4
Install it neatly
We install the cabling with neat, well-fixed runs and proper cable management, finished to a professional standard.
We're practical installers who find a way, rather than telling you a route can't be done.
Challenges that don't put us off
- 01
Awkward risers
Tight or crowded risers where new cable has to fit alongside what's already there.
- 02
Long corridors
Long runs through corridors and common areas, fixed neatly from end to end.
- 03
Underground car parks
Routes across car park walls and soffits, and up into the floors above.
- 04
Restricted access
Occupied buildings, locked areas and limited access times that need planning around.
- 05
Existing containment
Trays, trunking and conduit already in place, used where possible and routed around where not.
- 06
Unusual layouts
Buildings that don't follow a standard plan, where the route has to be worked out on site.
- 07
Difficult cable paths
Walls, floors and obstacles that block the obvious path and need a practical way through.
