Absolutely outstanding work by a thoroughly professional team. I needed my fibre broadband extended from the home to the shed and some access points. Dan and team worked tirelessly, diligently and professionally leaving me with an extraordinary setup. The cables, despite complex routing are not visible. The shed entry is discreet and professional. I couldn't recommend Dan and his team more highly.

Dan was brilliant. He was able to come to the house, understand and fix the issue in a very short space of time. He's friendly, professional and knowledgeable. And makes sure that he's done a good job, even after he's left site. Thanks again for your help Dan

I would absolutely recommend Cabledan! They did a great job hooking up my office sheds from the router in the house. Their work was neat and efficient, professional, friendly and fast. They tidied up afterwards and also cleaned up the old cabling mess that was there before. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks Dan!

Dan is just one of those classic great professionals. Tried to give me a few tips to try so I would not need to use him and then diagnosed exactly what was needed and gave options on what was necesssary vs optional. Him and the two lads were then great and really thorough in setting stuff up, testing everything. re-doing things that were not perfect. Thoroughly recommend!

Danny and his team did exactly what was asked. Where wifi was v poor it is now excellent. The cables installed are hidden incredibly well - Danny is adamant that where cables can be hidden they should be - which is surely common to most home owners. I would recommend using Cabledan.

Danny has now visited 2 places of mine which both had wifi issues. Not only were Danny's costs the MOST reasonable of all others who quoted, but his analyses were immediate and SPOT on, as well as his solutions elegant, simple (where many try to over-complicate to increase costs) and extremely efficient.
Danny is extremely knowledgeable in his field and, above all, a really pleasant and affable guy!

We called Dan to help us mount our LCD television onto a wall, including a new electrical socket. Dan was a great communicator, transparent and very easy to deal with. Dan recommended a high quality wall mount, purchased all of the parts and provided a high quality service. Thanks Dan!

Danny rang me within 5 minutes of me emailing him. He came around at short notice to view the job. He needed to re-run some damaged cat 6 cable in my garden and he and his team came back a few days later to install some steel armoured cable from the house to an outbuilding 100m away. The broadband speed is the same as in the house. They did a really neat job and left everything clean and tidy. Wouldn't hesitate to use again!

We called Dan to look at our Wi-fi and he came around as arranged and on time. Conducted his free survey and was knowledgeable and professional. Dan concluded that we did not need his hard wire services and rather than try to sell us a service provided a web link to the boosters we needed and explained how we could purchase and fit ourselves at no cost. So refreshing to have such an honest professional not trying to sell an unnecessary service. I would highly recommend Dan for his utmost professionalism

Have a garden office which we had built last year, however I was convinced that my wifi from my house would be adequate to reach... how wrong was I. Yes when there was no building there I did have a basic weak signal but when it was built and i moved my home office inside, if i wanted wifi I needed to leave the door open just to get a very weak signal.
Cabledan came and told me i needed to have a cable run from hose to garden office, now I love my garden and i was really concerned that the work would involve ripping up my shrubs and borders.
After agreeing price they did the job within a few days and none of my precious plants were damaged. The engineers even showed me there work notes and it said extreme care to be taken around plants. Not only do I have great wifi in my garden office now i also have spare connection to plug in printers. Have no hesitation to recommend, did an excellent job one happy customer

Dan responded very quickly to my initial enquiry regarding our poor wi-fi signal and, after surveying our property, offered a couple of different solutions. After picking our preferred option he arranged to come back within days to install it, and our wi-fi has improved dramatically! I highly recommend Dan, he offers a great service at good rates, so you cant really ask for anything more.

We called Cabledan and we received a very positive response and arranged that they would visit to inspect our Ethernet installation which was quickly identified as being inadequate because internal quality cable was used in the external trunking. So we received a quote which was accepted, then a few days later the installation of the external quality cable was made taking about 6 hours in a very efficient and professional way, and before leaving our premises all was checked that it was working OK.
Then we a few days later we found that we had a problem and 2 days later they visited and doubled checked the installation which was all fine but they discovered a problem with a piece of our equipment. No charge was made for this follow up visit. I would HIGHLY recommend Cabledan as efficient, professional, courteous and good value.

Was let down by a so called Structured data cabling company who despite doing a site survey on the day they started tried to renegotiate the quoted price as the job was more difficult than they thought.
Decided to look around instead and found Cabledan, what a godsend.. Not only did they actually quote less than the other company they actually completed Job one day early. Excellent job and I can highly recommend

I had the chance to work with Dany for the setup of new offices. The job has been long, with a lot of changes during the way and differents building releated issues. I can defintely say that without the help of Danny, his ability and knolowdge it would have been really difficult to get close to what we achived. He has not just been cabling the office, he was also helping to coordinate all the parts of the setup.
He has delivered a really high quality job and his help has been precious, is a bright person really competent, always available and full of ideas to sort out issues. I can deffinetly give him a good AAAAA+++. If you need cabling don't look anywhere else.
