Out-of-Hours & Holiday School Installations

Most school network upgrades occur during summer holidays or half-term breaks. Unlike other providers, we do not charge a premium for out-of-hours or holiday work, making it easier for schools to upgrade networks affordably.

Minimal Disruption to Teaching & Learning

We plan every installation around school timetables and operational hours:

• Phased installation schedules

• Safe segregation from students and staff

• Clean, organised, professional working practices

This ensures continuous learning while upgrading your network infrastructure.
