A home you have inherited
Moving into a connected home can leave you with unfamiliar controls, missing information or accounts still tied to somebody else. We start with the equipment, available records and authorised access.
ASSESSMENT / IMPROVEMENT / TAKEOVER
Your smart home.
Back on your terms.
Inherited a system? Lost your installer? Tired of working around technology that should make life easier? Let’s understand what you have and agree a practical way forward.
START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
Make sense of it.
Then move forward.
A system that has become frustrating
Slow broadband, recurring internet dropouts, unreliable Wi-Fi and devices that keep disappearing need investigation across the system. We assess whether a better main connection or a separate wireless backup would help. Tell us what happens, when it started and what has changed.
An installer who is no longer available
We can assess whether we can take the installation into care. Where a platform needs specialist engineering or restricted tools, we identify the appropriate route before promising support.
A DEFINED FIRST STEP
The Home
Technology Review.
An agreed assessment of your existing home technology, with clear findings and a practical next step.
We confirm the areas to review, the available access, whether a visit is needed and the assessment fee before booking. The scope can include networking, automation, access configuration and the condition and supportability of connected equipment.
- A picture of what is there. Equipment, connections, dependencies and available documentation.
- A clear set of findings. What is working, what needs attention and where further investigation is required.
- Priorities you can act on. Immediate issues, sensible improvements and items that can wait.
- A costed next step. Proposed remedial work and care options, with further diagnostic work identified where needed.
The review establishes the position. Repairs, replacement equipment and ongoing support are separately scoped unless expressly included.
A CONSIDERED TAKEOVER
From unknowns
to a plan.
Understand
Share the symptoms, model numbers and any existing drawings or records. We arrange a secure way to handle any credentials needed later; please do not email passwords.
Assess
We inspect the agreed systems and authorised access, and establish what can be backed up before changes. We identify urgent faults and specialist dependencies.
Improve
We explain what can be retained, what needs work and what is no longer supportable. Approved changes are documented and tested against the agreed outcomes.
Look after
We agree coverage, support contacts, maintenance and monitoring where appropriate. Your Home Record provides a starting point for the ongoing relationship.
THE HOMETECH HOME RECORD
Your home.
Documented.
An understandable record of the technology we look after, with the handover contents and maintenance responsibilities agreed in your project or care plan.
Know what is installed, how the important parts connect and who to contact. We agree account ownership and access with you, and handle credentials through a secure process.
As the installation changes, keeping its record current can form part of ongoing care.

BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few useful
answers.
Will everything need replacing?+
We assess useful existing equipment before recommending replacements. Condition, access, compatibility, security and ongoing support determine what can sensibly stay.
Can you take over any brand?+
We assess the actual installation and confirm our capability before accepting responsibility. Some systems require the original project files, manufacturer access or an appropriate specialist. An assessment is not a promise that every platform can be supported directly.
What should I send first?+
A short description of the problems, the main equipment brands or model numbers, and useful photographs that do not expose passwords, access codes or private information. We will explain any further information we need.
Can this lead to ongoing care?+
Yes, where the installation is suitable. We identify any initial work, then propose the systems covered, service arrangements and ongoing price.
What have you
got in mind?
A quick fix or a bigger plan.
Start by telling us about it.
