EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews paul hart2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Wayne and ACC for many years over several sites. They know what they are doing and do it right first time every time. Their work goes unnoticed as it is above ceilings and below floors , but we would not use anyone else.

Very positive experience working with David and Darrel – they were prompt and professional and delivered the project on time and without issue. Would absolutely recommend. Werner May2024-06-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been dealing with Wayne at ACCL for some time now as I was tasked by my employer to refurbish our server cabinets across 30 offices in London. I can't begin to express how good Wayne and his guys are. They have replaced and refurbished a large number of our server cabinets so far and not one issue, all in a very timely manner. They have done a highly professional job, always kept in contact, gave us advice/suggestions on what was needed when we weren't too sure. I would highly recommend using ACCL for any IT/Cabling work.

We needed to install an underground fibre connection between several buildings on our site, and Wayne at ACCL really made the experience easier. A thorough plan was produced with all of the paperwork that my company required, and the actual installation was fast and tidy. I would strongly recommend ACCL, and plan on having their help with future fibre projects. Dom Jaca2023-07-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Quality of work is excellent. Things happened when they said they would happen. The fibre link going down at the school just before Christmas was poor timing.indeed. Wayne at ACCL Turned a quote round quickly based on an annotated Google Satellite Map and a couple of emails and a phone call. We had an agreement to be on site early January by Christmas Eve The installers, Mark and Darren were very professional, taking their time to understand the job and the layout of the school before starting work. They also worked well with the Premises Manager to maintain safe working conditions as the Cherry Picker made its way around the buildings. The Job was completed inside the 2 days allocated. The new Catenary took a slightly different route resulting in a much improved arrangement of cabling.
