How Much Does Data Recovery Cost in the UK?
Data recovery costs from £75 for deleted or corrupt files, with an assessment of £60–£120 agreed upfront. What drives the price up, what a dead laptop costs, and when you pay nothing.
Robust IT for coworking and serviced offices — from high-density Wi-Fi and segmented member networks to access control, CCTV and the uptime your members expect.
Last updated: August 2026
A coworking or serviced office lives or dies by its connectivity. Members pay for a desk and expect the Wi-Fi, the meeting-room screens and the door access to simply work — every day, at full occupancy. That’s a very different demand from a single-tenant office, and it’s where consumer-grade kit and a one-size-fits-all router tend to fall apart. PC Macgicians has spent 25+ years building and supporting networks across South West London, and we plan coworking infrastructure around how the space is actually used.
The two problems we’re asked about most are density and separation. A floor full of laptops, phones and video calls needs access points positioned and configured for that load, with clean roaming so people don’t drop as they move between the kitchen, a booth and a meeting room. Just as important is keeping members apart: proper network setup with VLAN segmentation means each tenant, your guest Wi-Fi and your own admin systems stay on separate networks, so no one can wander onto a neighbour’s devices. Layer sensible cybersecurity on top and a shared building stops being a shared risk.
Physical security matters too. Communal entrances, meeting rooms and out-of-hours access all raise questions that cameras and entry systems help answer, and we plan CCTV to cover shared areas sensibly rather than intrusively. When something does need hands on site — new cabling, a switch swap, a stubborn access point — we come to you; when it’s a configuration or account issue, a secure remote session usually sorts it far quicker than waiting for a visit.
We work onsite at your premises, remotely over a secure session, or in-store at our Putney workshop, whichever gets your members back to work fastest. Every job starts with an honest diagnosis and a clear quote — no jargon, no surprises. If you run a coworking or serviced office and want your network to keep up with a full house, get in touch and we’ll talk through what your space needs.
Dozens of members on laptops, phones and video calls at once will overwhelm consumer kit. Coworking floors need access points planned for density and roaming, not a single router in a cupboard.
One shared flat network means one member can see another's devices. Proper VLAN segmentation keeps each tenant, the guest Wi-Fi and your back-office systems isolated from one another.
When people rent a desk they expect connectivity to just work. An outage during the working day affects every member on the floor at once, so resilient networking and quick response matter.
Communal doors, meeting rooms and 24/7 access create real security questions. Cameras and entry systems need to cover shared areas while respecting members' privacy.
The services our coworking & serviced offices clients rely on most.
High-density Wi-Fi surveys and access-point planning so a full floor of members stays connected without drop-outs.
Structured cabling and VLAN segmentation that keeps each member, guest access and your own systems on separate, secure networks.
Firewalls, segmentation and sensible policies to protect shared infrastructure and keep one member's problem from becoming everyone's.
Camera coverage for entrances, corridors and communal areas that improves security across a shared building.
Engineers on site across South West London for cabling, hardware and anything that can't be fixed down a wire.
Secure remote sessions for fast fixes to connectivity, accounts and configuration without waiting for a visit.
Everything on this page can be handled job by job. Most coworking & serviced offices reach a point where that stops being the sensible way to run IT — where they would rather have someone who already knows the setup, monitors it, and picks up the phone. See how our managed IT support works.

We fit around how you work — at your premises, over a secure remote session, or at our Putney workshop.
Clear diagnosis and a quote before any work — no jargon, no surprises.
Yes. We use VLANs and proper network setup so each member, your guest Wi-Fi and your own back-office systems sit on isolated networks that can’t see one another.
That’s usually too few access points for the density of users. We survey the space and plan Wi-Fi around real load and roaming, so a busy floor stays fast and stable.
Yes. We handle CCTV installation for entrances, corridors and shared spaces, planned to improve security while respecting members’ privacy.
We’re based in Putney and cover Wandsworth, Richmond, Merton, Kingston and the surrounding boroughs — onsite for cabling and hardware, remote for quick fixes. Get in touch via our contact page.
