IT support around Start Bay
IT WORKHOUSE looks after IT for businesses in Stokenham, Chillington, Torcross, Slapton and Beesands. We are based in Kingsbridge, about 20 minutes away along the A379.
Getting to you with the Slapton Line closed
The A379 between Torcross and Strete Gate has been closed since Storm Ingrid damaged it in January 2026, and there is no confirmed date for it to reopen. That cut the direct road between Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. It does not affect us: we come from the Kingsbridge side, so Stokenham, Torcross and Beesands are as close as they always were.
What Start Bay businesses need
Keeping trade going online
With fewer people driving through, bookings, online orders and card payments matter more than ever. We keep your connection, card machines and booking systems on a reliable network, with a backup line or Starlink if the main one drops.
WiFi for pubs, cafés and holiday lets
Guest networks that cover the whole building, kept separate from your own systems and monitored remotely so we know about faults first.
Small teams without an IT person
Microsoft 365, email, backups and security set up properly once, then looked after for a monthly fee or on pay as you go.
Phones that reach whoever is working
A 3CX phone system rings on desk phones and mobiles, so calls are answered whether you are behind the bar or out on the boat. See 3CX phone systems.
How support works
Unlimited remote support with a target response of one business hour, around the clock monitoring, updates within 14 days and tested backups. Plans from £120 a month plus VAT, no fixed term. See managed IT plans.
