Network Cleanup Services
Organise your network closet and server rack for a more stable, safer and easier-to-maintain work environment. We untangle, re-cable, label and document your network so problems are prevented, not just patched.
An Untidy Network Closet Is A Disaster Waiting To Happen
Intertwined, accumulated patch cords do more than look bad. They block the airflow your equipment needs, put physical strain on network ports, and turn a five-minute change into an hour of tracing cables, often with the business offline while someone searches.
In our experience, it starts with small mistakes: patch cords that are too long for the job, new devices added without planning, and changes that are never written down. Over time, nobody is quite sure what connects to what.
Keeping cables sorted and organised is essential to a healthy network. When structured cabling is properly mapped and organised, removing, relocating or troubleshooting a connection becomes quick and safe.
From Tangled To Organised
What a network rack typically looks like before cleanup, and what we leave behind.
Problems A Cleanup Prevents
Reduce the chance of the issues that untidy racks and closets cause every day.
Cooling & Airflow Restriction
Bundles of cable block vents and fans, forcing equipment to run hot and fail early.
Risk Of Overheating
Trapped heat shortens the life of switches, servers and UPS batteries, and can cause sudden outages.
Improper Hardware Management
Unmounted, stacked or unlabelled equipment is harder to protect, replace and upgrade.
Poor Maintenance & Serviceability
Every change takes longer when nobody can trace a cable, and mistakes take systems offline.
Safety Hazard To Your IT Staff
Loose cables, overloaded power strips and blocked access put the people working on your network at risk.
Strained & Damaged Ports
The weight of tangled cords pulls on connectors and damages network ports over time.
A Complete, Professional Cleanup
We plan the cleanup around your business hours, then work through the rack methodically so connections are restored exactly as they should be, and better organised than before.
- Audit and map every device, port and connection before we touch anything
- Re-cable with correctly sized, colour-coded patch cords
- Install cable management: horizontal and vertical managers, ties and routing
- Mount and organise hardware properly in the rack
- Label both ends of every cable and every patch panel port
- Tidy power: organise power distribution and UPS connections
- Document the finished rack with a port map and diagram
- Test every connection before we hand it back
A Cleanup Without The Chaos
We plan carefully so your business stays connected throughout.
Assessment
We inspect your network closet or rack, photograph the current state and map what is connected.
Plan & schedule
You receive a clear scope and quote, and we schedule the work to minimise disruption, including after hours if needed.
Cleanup
We re-cable, organise, mount, label and tidy power, section by section, restoring each connection as we go.
Handover
We test everything, walk you through the result and hand over the documentation and port map.
Stay Organised After The Cleanup
A cleanup is most valuable when it stays clean. With our managed IT services, every future change is made to the same standard and recorded in your documentation, so your rack never drifts back to where it started.
Your network documentation can also be kept in ExaGuards, our IT management platform, alongside your devices, credentials and rack diagrams.
Will our network be down during the cleanup?
We plan the work to keep disruption to a minimum, working section by section and scheduling after hours when needed, so most of your network stays online throughout.
How long does a cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the rack and the number of connections. After the assessment you receive a clear scope and timeline.
Do you replace our patch cords?
Usually, yes. Replacing oversized cords with correctly sized, colour-coded ones is one of the biggest improvements in a cleanup.
Will we get documentation?
Yes. We label both ends of every cable and hand over a port map and diagram of the finished rack.
Can you keep it organised afterwards?
Yes. With our managed IT services, future changes are made to the same standard and documented.
