Office Networks, Moves And Tidy-Ups

Moves. Wi-Fi. Firewalls. Backups.

Practical project work for small offices that are moving, growing, losing Wi-Fi coverage, replacing a firewall, checking backup resilience or untangling Microsoft 365 access.

Office Move Checklist

The Monday Morning Test

  • Broadband Lead Time

    Line orders, router delivery dates and temporary fallback if the provider misses the move.

  • Temporary Router

    A short-term route for card machines, phones or core desks when the main line is not ready.

  • Cabinet Labelling

    Switch ports, patch leads and desk positions labelled before everyone arrives with boxes.

  • Printer Locations

    Printers placed where staff actually use them, not where the nearest spare socket happens to be.

  • Wi-Fi Survey

    Dead spots checked before furniture blocks the line of sight.

  • Microsoft 365 Sign-In

    Staff sign-in, MFA prompts, OneDrive sync and shared mailboxes checked before Monday.

  • Morning Support

    Support available when the first person cannot print, scan, sign in or find the shared folder.

Wi-Fi And Firewall

Coverage, Separation And Renewals

Arrow replaces small business firewalls, separates guest Wi-Fi from staff devices, checks dead spots and warns owners before licences quietly expire. The job is not to sell a rack full of kit to a 14 desk office. The job is to make the network understandable and stable.

  • Staff Wi-Fi
  • Guest Wi-Fi separation
  • Firewall renewal warnings
  • Dead spot checks
  • Switch tidy-ups

Backup And Microsoft 365

Cloud Files Still Need Decisions

Arrow checks OneDrive, SharePoint permissions, mailbox security, MFA coverage and recovery notes. Small finance, clinic and studio teams often have old permissions left behind because nobody wanted to interrupt a busy week. The clean-up is careful and documented.

  • OneDrive sync
  • SharePoint permissions
  • Mailbox security
  • MFA checks
  • Restore testing
  • Written recovery notes

Timing And Deposits

Most Small Projects Take 2 To 5 Weeks

Timing depends on broadband dates, hardware availability and how quickly admin access can be handed over. Firewall and business Wi-Fi installation starts from £780 + VAT labour for a typical small office. Hardware and licences are charged separately at cost plus 12% handling.

Project work over £1,000 requires a 30% labour deposit. Hardware, licences and cloud subscriptions are paid upfront before ordering.
