Learn moreIT support for businesses in Dorking
Dorking is smaller than its neighbours and more varied: a well-known insurer and a cluster of financial firms, professional practices on the High Street and West Street, wine and food producers in the valley, and a lot of consultancies and agencies run from converted barns and country offices with broadband that was never designed for them. Connectivity is often the first problem, before anything to do with computers.
We are in Brighton, about an hour away straight up the A24. The helpdesk, monitoring, patching and Microsoft 365 work is remote and fixed within minutes; the rare job that needs an engineer in Dorking, a network install or an office move, is a planned visit along a road we know well.
Rural offices around Dorking usually need a connectivity plan first, a leased line, a decent business broadband or a 4G or 5G backup, then the normal stack: managed devices, Microsoft 365 with the security switched on, and a backup that has been tested.
Business IT support in Dorking: what is included
One monthly price per user, from £35, that covers the things a business of 10 to 250 people actually needs. No call-out fees for remote fixes, no surprise invoices for patching.
- Unlimited helpdesk, answered by an engineer, not a ticket queue
- Monitoring and patching of every laptop, desktop and server, 24/7
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration and licensing
- Email security, multi-factor authentication and Microsoft Defender
- Backup of Microsoft 365 and any servers, tested restores included
- New starters set up and leavers closed down the same day
- A named engineer who knows your setup, and a quarterly review
- Single points of failure removed, or written down with a price so you can decide whether to accept them
- The rare visit in Dorking or Westcott from our own engineers, planned rather than panicked
Why a Brighton company for Dorking IT support?
Set up so you rarely need a visit
Most call-outs are the symptom of a set-up that was never finished: a server everyone depends on, a laptop that cannot be rebuilt remotely, broadband with no backup. We remove those first, so an engineer in Dorking is the exception rather than the routine.
Single points of failure named, not hidden
Where a risk cannot be removed cheaply, we write it down, say what it would cost to fix, and let you decide whether to accept it. Nobody is surprised on the day it fails.
When something does need hands
Dorking is about an hour from our Brighton office up the A24, so an office move, a network install or a batch of new laptops is a planned visit from our own engineers. Businesses in Dorking, Westcott and Brockham get the same helpdesk, monitoring, security and pricing as the ones on our doorstep.
How it starts
- 1Free IT Health CheckA short online check that benchmarks your security and business risk and tells you where you stand.
- 2Discovery callAn engineer, not a salesperson. We look at what you have, what is broken and what it would cost to fix.
- 3OnboardingPasswords, licences, domains, backups and monitoring move across on a plan, with no gap in cover.
Comparing IT support companies in Dorking
Five questions separate providers on a call, wherever they are based:
Who answers the phone?
Ask whether your call goes to an engineer or to a ticket queue, and what the average time to a fix is, not just time to a first reply.
Is security included or an add-on?
MFA, Defender, patching and backup should be in the base price. If they are line items, the base price is not the real price.
Who owns your admin accounts and domains?
You should. If the provider is the registrant of your domain or the only Global Administrator, leaving becomes hard.
What is the contract, and what happens at the end?
Ask what the initial term is, what it rolls into, and what you can take with you if you leave.
How often will you need them on site?
A provider that visits every week is fixing symptoms. Ask what they would change so that you do not need them: managed devices that rebuild from the box, no single server everyone depends on, connectivity with a failover, and the remaining risks written down for you to accept or fix. Then ask what happens the one time hands are needed.
Our answers: an engineer, included, you, an initial term stated plainly on the quote with the handover written into our terms, and rarely, by design. The longer version is in how to choose an IT support company.

Questions Dorking businesses ask us
Do you have an office in Dorking?
No. We are based in Brighton, about an hour away up the A24, and we are honest about that. Site visits are rare with us, not because of the distance but because the set-up removes most of the reasons for them: every device managed and rebuildable from the box, no single server everyone depends on, connectivity with a failover, and the risks we cannot remove cheaply written down for you to accept or fix. When something in Dorking genuinely needs hands, an office move, a network install, a batch of new laptops, our own engineers drive to you, and our nationwide engineer network covers anything urgent we cannot reach.
How much does IT support cost in Dorking?
Managed IT support starts from £35 per user per month, with security monitoring and backup included, and the price is the same whether you are in Dorking or next door to our Brighton office. We quote after a discovery call so the number reflects your setup, not a price list, and there is no lock-in.
Can you take over from our current IT provider?
Yes. Switching is a normal part of what we do. We start with a free IT Health Check to see where you stand, then plan the handover so passwords, licences, domains and backups move without a gap in cover.
Do you help with Cyber Essentials?
Yes. We prepare businesses for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, and the settings it asks for (MFA, patching, device management, malware protection) are the same ones we put in place as standard.
Our office is rural and the broadband is awful. Can you do anything?
Usually. We check what is actually available at the address, which is often better than the current contract, quote leased lines and business broadband at real prices, and add a 4G or 5G failover so a dug-up cable does not stop the business. Connectivity is part of what we supply and support, not something we point you at BT for.
Do you support Macs as well as Windows?
Yes. We support Windows and macOS, and manage both alongside iPhones and Android devices through Microsoft Intune.
What size of business do you work with?
Typically 10 to 250 people: professional services, agencies, manufacturers, healthcare, charities and hospitality, usually without an in-house IT team, or with one person who would rather not be the IT team.
