Workshop and trade offices
The Office Behind the Workshop Floor
A workshop or engineering firm usually has two worlds: the floor, where dust and heat are normal, and an office full of drawings, quotes and ordering systems. The computers in both need to keep running.
Typical problems are slow machines opening big drawing files, shared PCs on the floor clogged with dust, and a network cupboard with no airflow. These are cheap to prevent and expensive to ignore.
We help choose hardware that fits the job, set up sensible backups of drawings and job files, and keep the network steady. See our business IT support page.

Cheap prevention
A Monthly Dust and Heat Check
Once a month, check that PC fans spin freely and vents are clear. Dust is the main killer of computers in workshops.
Keep the server or switch cupboard ventilated and away from direct sunlight.
If a machine runs hot or its fan is loud, tell us early. A clean-out is far cheaper than a new computer.
