Selected work

Our work, from first survey to ongoing support.

A handful of selected case studies. Each one is still running and supported today — and every one is something we're happy to talk through if you'd like to know more. Recent projects across Maidenhead, Marlow and the Thames Valley.

Home installations

Wi-Fi and smart-home systems designed around the property and the people living there.

Smart home + networking

A complete residential rebuild: fast Wi-Fi everywhere, Protect CCTV recording at the property, and Home Assistant running scenes, climate, lighting and access — all on a single dashboard that doesn't depend on anyone's cloud.

Outcome: Whole-home coverage, automations that work without the internet, no cloud lock-in.

LittleWick House — whole-property UniFi network

A large residential property in Maidenhead across four floors, plus a cellar, garage and separate annex. Eleven access points, three distribution switches, a Dream Machine Pro at the core, and three VLANs separating home, IoT and guest traffic — all on a single managed network with no dead spots.

Outcome: Rock-solid Wi-Fi from loft to cellar to annex, with proper network segmentation and room to grow.

Construction · ANPR

Chiltern Yard, Maidenhead — ANPR & site CCTV

A working builder's compound in Maidenhead — 0.8 acres, gated entrance, mixed sub-contractor traffic across a six-month groundworks programme. Two UniFi AI LPR cameras at the gate log every vehicle in and out; an AI 360 covers the material yard; four G5 Bullets cover the perimeter. Recording stays on a UDM Pro in a lockable site cabinet, with 4G failover during the first six weeks before the fixed line went in.

Outcome: Sub-contractor billing disputes resolved in an afternoon from timestamped gate footage. Site manager reports ~3 hours/week saved on attendance reconciliation. Zero out-of-hours intrusions over the install period.

Mojo and Co — dog grooming business app

A bespoke iOS and Android app for a one-groomer dog grooming business. Staff get the whole business in one place: client and dog records, a searchable dog list, a time-axis diary, groom phase timers, photos, invoicing and an equipment register. Clients get their own details and bookings, can request an appointment and fill in the intake form online instead of on paper.

Outcome: Live on iOS and Android, with a backend that deploys itself on every push. Paper client cards, dog cards and intake forms retired in favour of one app the groomer and her clients share.

Outcome: Live at globalnewsmap.org, updating itself every 30 minutes with no one at the keyboard, on an open-source codebase.
