Colo at Asanti's Manchester site? It sits in Trafford Park, under 20 minutes from our Salford base — and if your team runs the estate from another city, we're the local hands that make it feel next door. Flat £95/hour, around the clock.
For tenants managing Manchester racks from somewhere else entirely.
Installs, moves and decommissions with photos and an updated rack map.

Tenant-side patching, tested, labelled and dressed to survive an audit.
We're the keyboard, your team's the brain — live on a call for the duration.
Serials, ports and LEDs checked in person, photographed and reported.
Hardware shipped to our Salford warehouse and installed on your schedule.
Asanti's Manchester site sits in the M32 cluster we visit every week.
Smart Hands is an independent remote hands provider and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Asanti. We attend as your authorised visitor, under your own colocation access arrangements.
One flat rate in Trafford Park, whatever the hour.
Flat, per engineer. No VAT on top.
Billed in whole hours on-site. Travel time is never billed.
Nights, weekends and bank holidays cost the same £95/hour.
Every estimate carries a Not To Exceed cap — if a job looks like it'll pass it, we pause and ask first. Full detail at billing explained.
You arrange named-visitor access for our engineer under your colocation agreement; we bring ID and follow site security and induction on arrival. Details can be supplied in advance for vetting.
That's the typical arrangement. Per-job Work Orders when you need them, or a retainer with a regular cadence — same engineer each visit, photos and documentation back to your team the same day.
Trafford Park is under 20 minutes from base. Same-day visits are the norm; urgent swaps can move to the front of the queue.
Yes — the ANS MaNOCs and Pulsant NW-1 are minutes away, so estates spanning providers get swept in a single Work Order.
