From pallet to powered-on: we unbox, rail, rack, cable, label and boot your kit in any Greater Manchester facility, at a flat £95/hour per engineer. You get photos, serials and a rack map — not a shrug.
Every step of a rack build, done in order and documented.
Kit unboxed, serials logged against the manifest, packaging cleared away.
Rails set, units mounted square at the right U positions — elevation followed exactly.
Power and data run cleanly, dressed and labelled at both ends.
Structured power-on, POST checked, link lights verified port by port.
Out-of-band access configured live with your team so you're driving before we leave.
Rack map, serial list and photos delivered with the Work Order.
Colocation cage or office comms room — the process is the same.

Billed by the hour, not by the box — an estimate with a Not To Exceed cap up front.
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.
Yes — rack nuts, cage screws, velcro and cable ties are on the van and free. It's a running joke how often installs stall for want of a £2 bag of nuts, so we just bring them.
Yes. Ship to our Salford warehouse rather than fighting the facility's delivery dock — we store it, stage it, and bring it in when the installation window opens.
Preferably. Send the rack elevation, port map and any runbook with the Work Order and we follow them exactly, flagging discrepancies before improvising anything.
As a rough guide, a straightforward 10–15 unit build with clean cabling is a solid day for one engineer; bigger or messier jobs get a second pair of hands. The estimate comes with a Not To Exceed cap either way.
Send the elevation and the delivery date — we'll handle the rest.
