Pricing guide
Costs are driven by whether the job is a simple re-termination or requires replacing one or more cable runs. Larger structured cabling jobs with multiple outlets, longer cable runs or difficult access are typically more time‑consuming and material‑intensive. Major wall or ceiling repairs and specialist hazardous‑material handling are generally excluded and will usually increase the overall scope if required.
Fault type and extent
A straightforward re-termination is usually quicker than diagnosing and replacing a damaged run that lacks a link.
Number of outlets and runs
Multiple outlets or a structured cabling scope typically require more labour and longer cable lengths than a single-run repair.
Access and cabling path complexity
Hard-to-reach routes, roof voids, conduit work or restricted access generally increase time on site.
Materials and networking hardware
Extra terminations, longer cable runs, faceplates and any patch panel or switch hardware may add to materials and labour depending on specification.
Need for wall or structural repairs
Major cutting, repairs or painting of walls and ceilings are typically excluded from basic repairs and will usually increase the job scope if needed.
