Data & Network Cabling
Structured cabling and network points run through home or office — proper first-fix cabling, not a Wi-Fi extender taped to a skirting board.
What data cabling actually involves
Cat6 network cabling run to fixed points — offices, TVs, access points — with proper termination at both ends rather than a cable pushed into a wall plate.
It's structured cabling: points run back to a central location so the network has a defined layout instead of being extended piecemeal as problems appear.
Where a renovation or new build allows it, cable routes are coordinated with the other electrical first fix so everything goes in together rather than being chased in afterwards.

Common questions
- Why bother with cabling if Wi-Fi covers the house?
- Wi-Fi is fine for phones and laptops moving around, but anything fixed — a TV, a desktop, a smart home hub — runs faster and more reliably on a cable. It also takes load off your Wi-Fi for everything else.
- When's the best time to get cabling done?
- During other work, if you're already having walls opened for a rewire or renovation — it's far cheaper and less disruptive than running cable afterward. Retrofit is possible but usually means more chasing or surface trunking.
- What does a network point actually include?
- A cable run from a central point back to a patch panel or router location, terminated properly at both ends and tested for a clean connection — not just a cable pushed into a wall plate.
- Can this be coordinated with a renovation?
- Yes, and it should be — we'd plan the cable routes alongside the electrical first fix so everything goes in together rather than as an afterthought once walls are closed up.
