Network cabling and WiFi for new builds and renovations
Modern homes deserve modern connectivity. We work with architects, developers, and homeowners to design and install infrastructure that matches the quality of the build.
£1m houses with £50 networks: why new builds have terrible WiFi
"A few CAT6 points in the plans and an ISP router in the cupboard under the stairs."
That's what passes for 'network infrastructure' in most new builds.
Six months after handover, the complaints start: dead zones upstairs, buffering in the living room, smart home devices dropping offline. The build quality is exceptional. The connectivity is an afterthought.
Bring us in at the drawing stage. It costs far less than fixing the WiFi after handover.
Your Infrastructure Partner for every stage.
We design, install and support Architects, Developers, Trades & Home Owners.

Home Automation
Multi-room audio, lighting control and smart home integration. The backbone that makes the automation work.
Projects across the South West.
From barn conversions to new builds, holiday lets to listed properties, we've tackled the connectivity challenges that the South West's diverse housing stock throws at us. Stone walls, rural locations, complex multi-building estates; if it needs proper infrastructure, we've probably done something similar.
Recent work includes a working farm in the South Hams that went from two failing 5Mbps lines to a 1Gbps leased line across every building. Read the case study.
Owner's Testimonial
“IT WORKHOUSE was recommended to us by a previous customer, and Alex listened patiently to our tales of isolation from the digital world.
Alex found a more competitive provider for the leased line than we could establish directly, and developed a network solution to enable the benefits of an ultra fast (1Gbps) broadband connection to be realised across the site from a central hub. They understood our focus on utility, longevity and cost-effectiveness, but ensured the subsidiary hubs are scalable to prepare for our expansion.
The team worked hard, minimising disruption, finding solutions and working in collaboration with our regular contractors.
The result is nothing short of transformational with seamless internet access throughout the properties. In turn this enables monitoring and control of everything from solar panels to CCTV (which IT WORKHOUSE installed) and streaming speeds meeting all domestic and professional needs for multiple users. Dependable and professional, we have since returned to IT WORKHOUSE for IT projects and business support.”
