Data Cabling Installation for London Businesses
A reliable network starts with reliable cabling. We install structured Cat6, Cat6a and multimode fibre cabling for businesses across London, Berkshire and Surrey — whether you are fitting out a new office, relocating or replacing a messy legacy install. Cat6 is our minimum for any new commercial install. Every run is tested, labelled and fully documented before we leave.
Best for
Growing businesses needing responsive IT support, Microsoft 365 management and proactive network care.
Pricing
Free site visit · Installations quoted on scope · On-site: £95/hour
Response
Remote support within minutes; priority on-site response for contract clients.
Coverage
London, Berkshire and Surrey with remote support UK-wide.
Need cabling and WiFi? We handle both in one visit.
Most offices need structured cabling and wireless access points. Rather than two separate contractors on different days, we install both in one visit — one team, one invoice, one day's disruption.
Why people book this
Business IT that prevents downtime instead of just reacting to it.
Verge Tech manages IT infrastructure for businesses with 5 to 50+ users. We handle helpdesk queries, cloud administration, network maintenance, backup verification and cybersecurity so your team stays productive without worrying about IT failures.
New office fit-out
Cabling goes in before furniture. We work from the floor plan and position data points correctly from the start — Cat6a as standard for any location that will take a PoE++ wireless access point.
Messy legacy install
Unlabelled, untested cable runs with Cat5e on a 10Gbps switch create faults that are slow and expensive to trace. We remediate selectively — keeping what still meets spec, replacing what does not.
Office relocation
Moving premises means rewiring. We scope the new space and get cabling in place before your move date so the team is not offline on day one.
What's included
Everything covered, in plain English.
A clear scope of work so there are no surprises after we arrive. Anything outside this list gets quoted before we start.
How it works
A clear route from problem to fix.
Free site visit — we map the space, count data points and check existing infrastructure
Quote — itemised by materials and labour, no hidden extras, agreed before work starts
Installation — trunking, cable runs, patch panel, termination and cable testing
WiFi integration (if required) — access points mounted and configured on the same day
Sign-off — every run tested with a cable tester, labelled and documented before we leave

What we install
Structured cabling for offices, retail, hospitality and commercial premises.
Every install follows a clean, tested and documented standard. No guessing what is connected where.
Cat6 cabling
Our minimum standard for any new commercial install. Gigabit networking to 55m at 10Gbps, better shielding than Cat5e and backwards compatible with all existing hardware.
Cat6a cabling
10Gbps over the full 100m run. Required for PoE++ powered access points and recommended wherever you may run higher-density WiFi or future 10G switches.
Multimode fibre (OM3/OM4)
Floor-to-floor and switch-to-switch backbone runs. Immune to electrical interference and essential where copper distance or noise is a problem.
Single-mode fibre (OS2)
Long-distance inter-building links — car parks, outbuildings, separate floors on different risers. No signal loss over hundreds of metres.
Patch panels and cable management
Professional termination and labelling at both ends of every run. Clean, documented and easy to extend later.
Sectors we work in
Businesses where network reliability directly affects operations.
Estate agents
New office fit-outs and branch relocations. Clean, labelled cabling from day one — CRM and phone systems on the same structured install.
Restaurants and hospitality
EPOS terminals, reservations systems, staff and guest networks. Wired backbone keeps transactions fast even when the WiFi is busy.
Solicitors and accountancy firms
Multi-floor offices with data security requirements. Separated wired infrastructure for staff, guest and VoIP.
FAQs
Questions people ask before booking.
How many data points does our office need?
A working guide: one data point per workstation, plus additional points for printers, IP phones, wireless access points and any server or switch equipment. We count this at the site visit and include specific recommendations in the quote.
What is the minimum cable grade you install for offices?
Cat6. We do not install Cat5e as the primary cabling for new commercial installs. Cat5e is a home and legacy standard — it cannot sustain 10Gbps reliably and was not designed for the cable densities found in modern offices. Cat6 is the baseline; Cat6a where PoE++ access points or 10Gbps switches are involved.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a?
Cat6 supports 10Gbps up to around 55 metres and Gigabit to the full 100m. Cat6a supports 10Gbps to the full 100m run and uses better shielding — essential for PoE++ (90W) powered access points, where the heavier sheath handles the heat load. Cat6a is the right choice for any AP location or wherever 10G switches are planned.
When do you use fibre instead of copper?
Fibre is the right choice when the run exceeds 90 metres, when there is significant electrical interference (near motors, lifts or industrial equipment), or when you need 40Gbps or 100Gbps between switches. OM3 or OM4 multimode covers most floor-to-floor and switch-to-switch scenarios. OS2 single-mode is used for long inter-building runs where copper or multimode would fall short.
Do you install fibre optic cabling?
Yes. We install OM3 and OM4 multimode fibre for switch-to-switch connections, floor-to-floor links and backbone runs. For longer inter-building distances we use OS2 single-mode. For very large scale or campus-wide fibre projects we will advise upfront on scope and contractor options.
Can you work with our existing cabling?
Yes. We test existing runs and keep anything that passes current spec. Sections that fail or need replacing are dealt with selectively — we do not pull out an entire installation if part of it still works. Cat5e runs that pass a Fluke tester can often stay if the switch speeds and distances support it.
How long does a data cabling installation take?
A small office with 10–15 data points typically takes one day. Larger installations are scoped at the site visit and scheduled around your working hours where possible.
