Network Infrastructure Upgrade & Video Conferencing Installation

Whilst on site we were asked how the Gas Safe Consultants Cheshire office infrastructure could be improved. This led to a complete network infrastructure overhaul.

CAT6 Patching CAT6 Data Cabling Yealink VC Installation
Critical Issues Found
  • CAT5e PVC cabling installed under office carpets (dangerous and non-compliant)
  • Fire safety risk from cables beneath floor coverings
  • Network performance degradation from crushed and damaged cables
  • No proper cable management or protection
  • Inability to support modern network speeds
  • No video conferencing capability for remote collaboration
The Problem

Running network cables under carpets is not only poor practice — it is a safety hazard. Compressed cables degrade performance, create trip hazards when carpets lift, and in the worst case, can become fire risks.

Our Solution
01
Professional Cabling Installation
  • Complete removal of all under-carpet CAT5e cabling
  • Installation of new CAT6 structured cabling throughout
  • Professional trunking and cable management systems
  • Future-proofed infrastructure supporting Gigabit+ speeds
  • Properly labelled and documented network points
02
Video Conferencing System
  • Professional VC system installed in main meeting room
  • High-quality camera and display for remote meetings
  • Microsoft Teams and Zoom integration
  • Simple one-touch operation
03
Testing & Handover
  • Full network certification and testing
  • Documentation of new infrastructure
  • Staff training on VC system
  • Ongoing support package offered

I cannot recommend Wi-Fix enough. They came in and fixed our problem where other companies had failed. Their extensive knowledge of cabling and conference systems was obvious. I honestly wouldn't use anyone else now we've found them.
