Ongoing IT support that keeps your business running — proactive, local and jargon-free

5-star reviews 25+ years experience Local & independent

Last updated: August 2026

Overview

IT support that looks after your business, not just your breakdowns

Most small firms don't need a big IT department — they need a reliable, local team that keeps everything running and picks up the phone when something's wrong. That's what our managed IT support does: proactive maintenance, security and backups working quietly in the background, plus an onsite and remote helpdesk for the day-to-day. We've supported homes and businesses across South West London for over 25 years, from our Putney workshop, and we speak plain English rather than jargon. You get a named local team that knows your setup, not a faceless ticket queue.

What Managed IT Support Includes

Proactive Maintenance

We keep machines patched, updated and healthy so small problems are caught early — before they turn into a morning of lost work. Fewer surprises, less downtime.

Security & Backups

We manage your defences — email security, multi-factor sign-in, anti-malware — and make sure backups actually run and restore. Practical protection sized for a small team, not enterprise overkill.

Onsite & Remote Helpdesk

When something's wrong, you reach a real person. Many issues we fix remotely in minutes; for anything hands-on we come to you across South West London. No endless ticket queues.

Microsoft 365 & Email

We look after Microsoft 365 and email — new starters, leavers, shared mailboxes, permissions and licences — so accounts stay tidy and access is closed off promptly when people move on.

Hardware & Supplier Help

Advice on when to repair, upgrade or replace, sensible kit recommendations, and a hand dealing with your broadband or software suppliers so you're not stuck on hold to fix a work problem.

A Team That Knows You

You work with the same local people who understand your setup and how your business runs. Recommendations are proportionate and honest — we won't sell you things you don't need.

Process

How We Get Started

Simple steps to get your problem solved quickly and professionally.

1

Review

We start with a friendly look at how your business works and what IT you've got — devices, email, backups, security and the things that frustrate you day to day.

2

Plan

You get a clear, honest picture of what's working, what's at risk, and a proposed level of support sized to your team and budget. No jargon, no scare tactics.

3

Onboard

We tidy up the essentials — updates, security, backups and accounts — so you're on solid ground, then set up how you reach us for support.

4

Support

From there we keep things running proactively and are on hand onsite or remotely whenever you need us — with regular, plain-English check-ins.

In Depth

What to Expect

Prefer the quick version? The sections above cover most needs. Expand any topic below for more detail.

Why proactive support beats waiting for things to break

Break-fix IT — only calling someone when something stops — feels cheaper until you add up the cost of the downtime:

Problems caught early

A failing drive, a lapsed backup or an out-of-date system usually gives warning signs. Proactive maintenance spots them before they cost you a day of lost work.

Security that's kept up, not set and forgotten

Threats change constantly. Managed support keeps protection current — patches, sign-in security and staff guidance — rather than leaving it to drift.

Backups you can actually trust

Plenty of businesses discover their backup wasn't working only when they need it. We test restores, so recovery is real rather than assumed.

One less thing to worry about

You get on with running the business while the IT is quietly looked after — and when you do need us, you reach people who already know your setup.

The aim is simple: fewer interruptions, less risk, and a local team you can rely on.

Who we help — and how we keep it proportionate

We support small businesses and teams across South West London — from professional practices to shops, studios and offices. We shape support to the sector and size:

  • Small professional firms that hold sensitive client data and can't afford downtime
  • Growing teams that have outgrown 'the person who knows computers'
  • Practices and clinics that depend on specific software staying up
  • Shops, studios and offices wanting reliable, local cover without an in-house IT department

See the sectors we work with on our [industries we support](/industries/) pages — and if yours isn't there, the same principles still apply.

Pricing

Managed IT Support Pricing

Every business is different, so we tailor support to your team size, systems and how much cover you want — rather than forcing you into a one-size box. Tell us what you've got and what frustrates you, and we'll put together a clear proposal with transparent pricing. No obligation, and no jargon.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is managed IT support, and how is it different from a one-off fix?
Managed IT support is an ongoing arrangement where we look after your systems proactively — maintenance, security, backups and a helpdesk — rather than only turning up when something breaks. It’s the difference between servicing your car and waiting for it to fail on the motorway. If you’d prefer occasional help, our onsite IT support and remote IT support cover one-off jobs too.
How much does managed IT support cost?
It depends on your team size, systems and how much cover you want, so we price it per business rather than quoting a headline figure that won’t fit. We’ll review your setup, then give you a clear proposal with transparent pricing and no obligation. Call 020 7610 0500 or use our contact form to get started.
Do you support both Windows and Mac businesses?
Yes. We support mixed environments every day — Windows PCs, Macs, or a combination — along with Microsoft 365, email, networks, printers and the everyday kit a small office relies on.
Can you handle our security and backups?
Yes — it’s a core part of managed support. We manage practical cybersecurity such as email security and multi-factor sign-in, and make sure your backups genuinely run and restore, not just appear to. Everything is sized sensibly for a small business.
Do you come onsite or work remotely?
Both. Many issues we resolve remotely within minutes, and for anything hands-on we come to you across South West London from our Putney base. You choose the mix that suits how your business works.
We're a small team — is managed support overkill for us?
Not at all — small teams often benefit most, because you rarely have someone whose job is to keep the IT healthy. We scale the support right down to what a handful of people actually need, so you get reliability without paying for an IT department you don’t require.
Do you support businesses in our sector?
Very likely. We work with a range of local sectors and shape support around how each one operates — see our industries we support for examples. If yours isn’t listed, get in touch; the fundamentals of good IT support carry across.
Where are you based and which areas do you cover?
Our base is at 66 Lower Richmond Road, Putney, SW15 1LL. We provide managed IT support across Wandsworth, Richmond, Merton, Kingston and the surrounding South West London boroughs, with remote support available more widely.
