North West Network & Data Cabling
40+ Years Protecting North West Businesses
Network and Data Cabling Installation
Slow connections, dropped calls, patchy Wi-Fi and untraceable cable runs cost your business time every day. Most of these problems start with the cabling hidden in your walls and ceilings.
Full Circuit Fire & Security designs, installs, tests and certifies structured data cabling for businesses across Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Cumbria. You get a fast, dependable network for your computers, phones, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control and everything else that keeps your business running.
Whether you’re fitting out a new office, expanding into another floor, refurbishing a warehouse or replacing tired old cabling, we’ll design a network that works today and has room to grow.
What Is Structured Cabling?
Structured cabling is an organised, standards-based way of wiring a building for data and communications. Instead of cables added one at a time over the years, everything runs back to a central comms cabinet in a planned, labelled and tested layout.
A structured cabling system makes your network faster and more reliable. It also makes moves, changes and fault finding far easier, because every cable is labelled, documented and easy to trace.

Copper and Fibre Cabling
We’ll recommend the right cable for your needs and budget:
- Cat6 cabling is the standard choice for most offices, giving reliable gigabit speeds to desks, phones and access points
- Cat6A cabling supports higher speeds over longer distances, ideal for busy networks, Wi-Fi 6 and 7 access points and future-proofing
- Fibre optic cabling links comms rooms, floors and buildings over longer distances at very high speeds
Where cabling runs through escape routes or occupied areas, we can use low smoke zero halogen cable, which gives off less smoke and toxic fumes if it’s ever involved in a fire.
Cabling for Security Systems
Modern CCTV cameras, access control readers and door entry panels all rely on good data cabling, and many are powered through the same cable using Power over Ethernet.
Because we install security systems too, your network and your CCTV, access control and intruder alarms are planned together from day one. That means fewer contractors, fewer clashes and systems that work properly when they’re handed over.
SSAIB Approved Installer
We are approved by SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board).
That means our work, our engineers and our processes are independently assessed, giving you confidence that your installation is carried out to a high standard. We are also CHAS approved for health and safety.
Network Cabling Designed Around Your Business
Every installation is planned around your premises, your budget and your plans to grow. We consider where people will sit, how many devices each area needs, where Wi-Fi access points should go and where your comms cabinet should live.
We design and install to recognised industry standards for structured cabling, including keeping data cables properly separated from electrical power cables to avoid interference.
Projects are delivered on time and on budget, with clear communication throughout.
Free Cabling Site Surveys
Before any work starts, we visit your premises for a free cabling site survey.
We look at your layout, ceiling and floor voids, existing cabling, comms room, requirements and budget. Then we design a cabling plan that fits and give you a clear quotation.
Testing and Certification
Every cable we install is tested to confirm it performs to its rated category. Testing finds faults, poor terminations and damaged cable before your network goes live, not after.
You receive full test results for every link, giving you proof that your cabling performs as it should.
Full Documentation Provided
Every installation comes with full documentation, including:
- Floor plans showing data point locations
- Clear labelling of every outlet and patch panel port
- Test results for every cable
- Details of cabinets, patch panels and equipment
So future changes, moves and fault finding are quick and simple.
Cabling Health Checks
Already have cabling in place? Over time, cables get damaged, cabinets become cluttered and connections deteriorate. That leads to slow speeds and intermittent faults that are hard to pin down.
Our regular health checks inspect and test every component, including cables, connections, terminations and patch panels. We find damaged, worn or failing cabling and give you clear recommendations for repairs or upgrades.
Expert Technicians
Our team is experienced and keeps up to date with industry standards and new technology.
We work in occupied offices with minimal disruption, including out of hours and at weekends where needed, so your team can keep working.

How Much Does Data Cabling Cost?
The cost of a network cabling installation depends on:

- Comms cabinets, patch panels and containment
- Whether work needs to be done out of hours
- Removal of old cabling
We’ll survey your premises for free and give you a clear, fixed quotation.

Data Cabling FAQs
Do you charge for the site survey? No. Cabling site surveys are free and come with no obligation.
Should I choose Cat6 or Cat6A cabling? Cat6 suits most offices. Cat6A supports higher speeds over longer distances and is a good choice for busy networks, modern Wi-Fi and future-proofing.
Do I need fibre optic cabling? Fibre is usually used to link comms rooms, floors or buildings over longer distances. We’ll recommend it where it’s needed.
Can you work in an occupied office? Yes. We plan installations to keep disruption low, including out of hours where needed.
Do you provide test results? Yes. Every installation comes with full test results and documentation.
Can you test and tidy up our existing cabling? Yes. Our cabling health checks test what you have and recommend any repairs or upgrades.
Can you install cabling for CCTV and access control? Yes. We install cabling for security systems, including Power over Ethernet for cameras and readers.
How long does a cabling installation take? It depends on the number of data points and the building. We’ll give you a timescale with your quote.
