Professional WiFi Surveys in Devon (that prevent problems later)
A Wi-Fi survey gives you clarity before equipment is installed. We assess your building, usage, interference, and coverage needs to design a network that actually works – not one that needs fixing later.
What a Wi-Fi Survey Actually Does
Understanding your space before anything is installed
A Wi-Fi survey looks at how wireless signals behave in the real world – not how they should behave on paper. Every building is different, and things like walls, floors, layout, and nearby networks all affect performance.
A survey allows us to:
Map real-world Wi-Fi coverage across your space
We measure how signal behaves in practice, showing exactly where coverage is strong, weak, or inconsistent - not just where it should reach.
Identify dead spots, interference, and signal overlap
We pinpoint areas where Wi-Fi drops out, competes with neighbouring networks, or overlaps in ways that actually reduce performance.
Account for walls, floors, building materials, and layout changes
Thick stone walls, metal structures, long corridors, and multiple floors all affect Wi-Fi differently. A survey factors these in properly.
Design Wi-Fi around how people actually use the space
We look at where devices are used most, how many connect at once, and what they’re used for - so the network supports real demand, not assumptions.
In short, a Wi-Fi survey replaces guesswork with evidence.
When a Survey Is the Right Move
A Wi-Fi survey is especially valuable in the following situations:
Before upgrading or expanding an existing network
Adding access points without understanding coverage often makes things worse. A survey ensures changes improve, rather than complicate, the network.
- Confirm whether existing access points are correctly positioned
- Prevent overlap and interference from additional hardware
- Ensure upgrades genuinely improve performance
New premises or refurbishments
Start with a clean slate and design Wi-Fi around the finished space, not outdated assumptions.
- Access point placement designed before ceilings and walls are finalised
- Capacity planned for future growth, not just day-one usage
- Clean integration with existing routers, switches, and firewalls
Ongoing Wi-Fi complaints or drop-outs
Intermittent issues are often environmental, not equipment-related. A survey reveals the real cause.
- Identify dead zones, interference, and oversaturated areas
- Resolve roaming issues between access points
- Eliminate guesswork and repeated “trial-and-error” fixes
Large or awkward buildings
Thick walls, long corridors, multiple floors, outbuildings, and unusual layouts all need deliberate planning.
- Account for stone walls, metal structures, and multiple floors
- Ensure consistent coverage across corridors, outbuildings, and open spaces
- Avoid over-amplifying signals that cause instability
Guest Wi-Fi environments
Hotels, holiday lets, venues, and education settings need reliable access without compromising performance or security.
- Separate staff, guest, and IoT networks properly
- Control bandwidth so guest usage doesn’t impact operations
- Design for peak demand, not average usage
WiFi Installations Across Devon
We’re a Devon-based team, and we spend most of our time working in the real buildings that make this county unique – from city offices and seaside businesses to rural homes, farms and estates. That local experience matters, especially when dealing with older buildings, thick stone walls, long distances and patchy broadband availability across Devon.
We regularly carry out Wi-Fi surveys, installations and upgrades across:
- Exeter
- Plymouth
- Torquay, Paignton and the wider Torbay area
- Newton Abbot and the Teignbridge district
- Tiverton and Mid Devon
- Barnstaple, Bideford and North Devon
- Exmouth, Honiton and East Devon
- Okehampton, Tavistock and the edge of Dartmoor
- The South Hams, including coastal villages and rural estates
We also work extensively in rural locations, including Dartmoor and Exmoor, where long distances, outbuildings and limited broadband options require a more considered approach to Wi-Fi design.
Where projects call for it, we also deliver multi-site and specialist Wi-Fi installations across the rest of the UK, using the same survey-led process and standards we apply locally.
FAQs
Straight answers, no jargon.
Do I really need a Wi-Fi survey?
If Wi-Fi reliability matters – for staff, guests, or operations – a survey is the safest starting point. It avoids guesswork and prevents costly fixes later.
Can’t you just add more access points?
Sometimes adding access points helps. Often it makes things worse. A survey shows where they should go, how many are needed, and whether existing equipment is correctly placed.
Will a survey disrupt our business?
No. Surveys are non-intrusive and carried out while the space is in normal use. We work around you.
Do I have to use you for the installation afterwards?
No. The survey and recommendations stand on their own. Many clients do ask us to install, but there’s no obligation.
Is a Wi-Fi survey only for large buildings?
Not at all. Surveys are just as valuable in smaller offices, hospitality venues, holiday lets, and complex homes – especially where reliability is critical.
What do we receive after the survey?
Clear findings and practical recommendations. No jargon, no unnecessary upselling – just what’s needed to achieve reliable coverage and performance.
How long does a Wi-Fi survey take?
Most surveys are completed within a few hours, depending on the size and complexity of the space.
Can you survey rural or challenging locations?
Yes. We regularly work in rural Devon properties, older buildings, and sites with limited connectivity.
A smoother day starts with a solid connection.
