Pricing & rates

Honest pricing from someone who actually understands the tech.

No jargon, no inflated luxury-integrator quotes — just one clear rate for smart home, networking, CCTV and IT work across Surrey. Every job starts with a free consultation.

Free consultation £89 first hour £65/hr after No VAT to add

Three simple ways to work together.

Most jobs are quoted as a fixed price, so you know the cost before anything starts. For open-ended work, hourly is fairer to you.

Consultation
Free

A proper look at the job and honest advice on what's involved and what it'll cost — no obligation, no upselling.

Every hour after
£65 / hour

Billed in 30-minute increments for anything that runs past the first hour — no padding, no surprises.

Rates include travel within the core Surrey service area. Evening and weekend work by arrangement.

Smart Home Rescue

Inherited a half-finished setup? Bought kit that never quite worked, or had an installer who disappeared? I'll diagnose the mess, tell you straight what's salvageable, and get it working. Charged hourly because no two rescues are the same — and this is the work I enjoy most.

£89
first hour, then £65/hr Free consultation first

The questions everyone asks.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The consultation and quote come with no obligation. The £89 first-hour rate only applies once you've agreed to go ahead and the work starts.

Do you charge for parts on top?

Devices and parts are quoted separately and clearly, at a fair price. You're also welcome to supply your own kit — that's no problem at all.

What areas do you cover?

Woking, Guildford, Camberley, Farnham, Leatherhead, Epsom and the surrounding Surrey area. A little further afield by arrangement.

Why £89 for the first hour and then hourly?

The first hour covers the visit and travel anywhere in the coverage area, and most single-device jobs are done inside it. Anything that runs longer is £65 an hour after that — so you only ever pay for the time the job actually needs.
