Wired network points for schools, offices and business systems, and three-phase power for distribution and equipment.
Talk to us about your installation.
Structured cabling is the fixed network wiring behind your wall points, running back to a patch panel in a cabinet. Done neatly and labelled properly, it makes adding, moving and fault-finding far simpler for whoever looks after your IT.
Wired network points for desks, classrooms, offices and shared spaces
Structured cabling routes and containment planned around the building
Patch panels and cabinets installed and tidied
Cable management and clear labelling of points and panel ports
Testing of installed runs, with results handed over
Many workshops and larger premises use three-phase power for heavier equipment. We install the boards that split that power into circuits, the larger cables that carry it to other areas, and the dedicated supplies your machinery needs.
Local isolation means providing a way to disconnect equipment from its electrical supply near the machine. Safe maintenance also requires the correct isolation procedure. We assess the existing supply capacity, equipment requirements and suitable protection before agreeing the installation.
Three-phase distribution boards and sub-main cables to other areas or buildings
Dedicated supplies for motors, machinery and workshop equipment
Local isolation where the site and equipment need it
Planned shutdowns agreed in advance, followed by testing
We had the guys at Boxt carry out a very large electrical conversion at our courtyard of cottages which involved a new supply from the National Grid. It was a big undertaking but they managed it very professionally and frankly went further than expectations. The power changeover had to happen over a two day period and there was around 14 new connections to be made, some 2-phase some 3-phase. Rich had a plan to layout new cables ahead of the National Grid work in order to reduce work on the day and get a quicker turn around. They liased with the National Grid and Octopus energy. They even went the extra mile when a meter installation for one elderly lady was due on the second day after the power was cut. They worked hard to make sure she wasn’t without power.
Guys I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and hard work.
Both are common choices for wired networks. The right specification depends on your building, what the network is used for and what your IT contact recommends. We agree the cable specification with you after an assessment rather than picking one in advance. Network speeds also depend on your equipment and setup, so we do not promise particular speeds.
We plan access with the site manager, and with the IT contact where network work is involved. Timings, working areas and any noisy or disruptive tasks are agreed beforehand to suit the school and the job.
No. We install and test the cabling, points, patch panels and cabinets. Configuring switches, servers, software or managed IT services is for your IT provider.
A new incoming three-phase supply usually has to be arranged with the network operator, and that is not included in our work. If your premises already has three-phase, we can talk about distribution and equipment supplies from it.
A distribution board splits power into separate circuits. A sub-main is a larger cable that carries power from the main board to another board elsewhere, such as a workshop or another building.
Connecting new boards or circuits usually means some planned isolation. We agree when this happens so you can plan around it. Some interruption is normally unavoidable.
It depends on the number of points or the equipment, cable routes, access and existing installation. We quote once we understand the site.
Tell us where you are, the type of premises, what you need and any access or timing limits.
