Support & maintenance
Smart home support and aftercare in North London
Smart systems need someone to call. Firmware changes, a replaced router or a new television can upset an install that has worked for years — and plenty of homes have a system whose original installer has vanished.

- Local engineers, same faces
- Fault finding before replacement
North & North West London
Including systems someone else installed
We take on orphaned systems regularly. The first visit is an audit: what is installed, how it is wired, what still works and what is beyond support. You get a written picture of the system and honest advice on what to keep.
Day to day, most support calls are small — a keypad that has lost programming, a camera offline, a zone that stopped playing, scenes to change after redecorating. We fix those on the same visit wherever possible rather than proposing a replacement.
For larger installs we offer a planned check: updates applied in a controlled way, backups taken, recording and storage verified, and hardware in the rack checked for heat and dust. It is the difference between a system that ages well and one that quietly falls apart.
What the job includes
What support covers
System audit
A documented picture of an existing install, however it was left.
Fault finding
Diagnosis first — we replace hardware only when it is genuinely the problem.
Programming changes
New scenes, renamed rooms and adjustments after decorating or moving furniture.
Controlled updates
Firmware and software updates applied deliberately, with backups first.
Health checks
Rack temperature, storage, recording retention and network performance verified.
Handover documents
Labelled rack and written notes so the next person is not guessing.

Questions we get asked
Aftercare & support — the details
Will you support a system you did not install?
Yes. We audit it first so we know exactly what we are taking on, then support it like our own.
Do I need a contract?
No. You can call us as needed, or arrange planned visits for a larger system.
Can you help if the original installer has gone?
That is one of our most common enquiries, particularly on houses bought with a system already in place.
What if parts are obsolete?
We will say so plainly and suggest the smallest sensible replacement rather than a full rip-out.
How quickly can you come out?
We work across North and North West London and aim to get to urgent faults quickly — message us and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.
