Does anyone have any recommendations for getting some data work done in Wellington? Cabling into a few rooms, PoE camera cabling/install, wifi access point install, etc.

Have all my own networking kit besides the actual cable. Reached out to a few sparkies/security companies in the region but not had much luck!

Any leads would be hugely appreciated :)

You might have better luck just getting someone to install the cable only.

With you providing your own equipment, the installers/company might not have the knowledge of whatever brand you are using for installation and configuration.

They will not be able to guarantee their work.

This is just a possible insight on why you might not be hearing back.

Is this basically a labour only job?

If so, that could be the reason that no one is replying. More money to be made selling the components than just running the cables.

Yeah you're bang on - I have a full Unifi set up. Ive been asking them to just run the cable and, if they can, mount the kit so I dont have to try get up there myself but even just cable runs they've been ghosting me.

Correct, I imagine a lot of their margin is built into whatever kit they're selling.

I've been transparent that I just need the labour done (cable runs/termination/mounting if possible so I dont need to try get up to my roof) but no bites.

Hoping someone on this forum has a contact that's willing/capable of doing the work since I'm having zero success finding anyone.

I'm really happy with Barry's work, who installed our Cat6a network.
