Nights, weekends and bank holidays cost the same £95/hour.

The facility is minutes from our base, so once your Work Order is confirmed and access is arranged, an engineer can be at the door very quickly — schedule permitting, sometimes within the hour.
You authorise our engineer as a named visitor under your colocation agreement, and we handle ID and sign-in on arrival. We can supply engineer details in advance for approval.
Absolutely — with no meaningful travel overhead, a reboot, cable reseat or single drive swap makes perfect sense as a 1-hour Work Order.
