IT Support in Cardiff

Cardiff is the capital of Wales and its primary commercial, cultural and media centre, generating around 20% of Welsh GDP. Cardiff Bay has been transformed from a former dockland into a thriving business district housing the Welsh Government, BBC Wales and S4C alongside numerous professional services firms, while the city's growing fintech and cybersecurity sectors, supported by Cardiff University's research strengths, position it as one of the UK's fastest-growing digital economies. — and every one of those businesses depends on IT that simply works.

Why Cardiff Businesses Choose Managed IT Support

Businesses at Cardiff Castle, around Cardiff Bay, and across Cardiff's wider financial services, media and public sector sector all share the same problem: downtime is expensive, and every sector carries different risk. One business needs different protection to another, but both need 24/7 monitoring, EDR and backup that just works, plus a helpdesk that picks up. We tailor Essentials, Assurance and Ultimate cover to the way each Cardiff business actually operates, rather than a one-size-fits-all contract.

Local Delivery, Cardiff and Beyond

Cardiff is 2 hours by train from London Paddington on Great Western Railway, and we treat that as our baseline, not our limit — most support is resolved remotely the same day, wherever your team is working from. When a visit is genuinely needed, we book engineers in around Cardiff Castle, Principality Stadium and Cardiff Bay and the wider city centre, so hardware faults, office moves and network installs get hands-on attention without your team losing a day waiting in for us.

Our approach to IT support in Cardiff

24/7 Monitoring & Endpoint Protection

Every device we manage is covered by round-the-clock monitoring and EDR, so unusual activity on a device at Cardiff Castle or Cardiff Bay is caught and contained before it spreads.

Remote-First, On-Site When You Need Us

Most issues are fixed remotely the same day. When a Cardiff office needs an engineer on-site — a move, a new starter's kit, a stubborn hardware fault — we book a visit around your schedule, not ours.

IT support businesses in Cardiff turn to us when

Their current provider takes days to respond to a support ticket, costing billable hours
Growing headcount means devices and logins are being set up ad hoc with no consistent process
Budget constraints mean they need predictable, per-user IT costs rather than open-ended invoices
Downtime during trading hours or a live broadcast simply isn't an option
Multiple offices or hybrid teams across Cardiff and the surrounding area need consistent support wherever they're working
They need to demonstrate Cyber Essentials-level security to land a client contract

Why Cloudswitched for IT support?

We don't just fix problems — we stop them happening. Here's what sets our IT support apart.

A helpdesk that answers

Real people who know your setup pick up the phone — not a ticket queue that goes quiet for days. It's the difference between a five-minute fix and a lost afternoon.

24/7 monitoring & EDR as standard

Assurance and Ultimate customers get round-the-clock monitoring and endpoint detection and response, catching threats before they spread rather than after.

Cloud backup included

Every plan, including Essentials, includes cloud backup — your files, email and systems are protected against loss, hardware failure and ransomware from day one.

Transparent, per-user pricing

£20, £40 or £60 per user, per month. No hourly billing, no call-out surcharges, no scope-creep invoices — you know exactly what you're paying before we start.

A dedicated account manager

On Assurance and Ultimate you get a named contact who actually knows your business, not a rotating cast of first-line agents starting from scratch each time.

Remote-first, on-site when it matters

Most issues are resolved remotely the same day. When hardware genuinely needs hands, we book an engineer on-site rather than charging premium call-out fees.

A 99% SLA that means something

Our service level commitment is stated plainly, not buried in small print, so you know what to expect before you sign up.

No long lock-in contracts

We earn your business every renewal with service, not a contract that traps you. If we're not delivering, you're not stuck.

About Cardiff

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've answered the most common ones below. If you need more detail, get in touch.

What's included in the £20 Essentials plan?

Essentials includes remote helpdesk support during business hours, software patching, cloud backup and our 99% SLA — a solid foundation for businesses that don't yet need 24/7 monitoring or EDR.

What's the difference between Essentials, Assurance and Ultimate?

Essentials (£20/user/month) covers remote helpdesk support, patching, cloud backup and our 99% SLA. Assurance (£40) adds 24/7 monitoring, EDR, priority response and a dedicated account manager. Ultimate (£60) adds virtual CIO consultancy and quarterly IT roadmap reviews on top of everything in Assurance.

What is EDR and why does my business need it?

Endpoint Detection and Response continuously monitors laptops, desktops and servers for suspicious activity, detecting and containing threats like ransomware in real time rather than after the damage is done. It's included on our Assurance and Ultimate plans.

How quickly will you respond to an issue?

We work to a 99% SLA, and the large majority of issues are resolved remotely the same day. Response times depend on your plan, with Assurance and Ultimate customers receiving priority handling.

Do you provide on-site support or is everything remote?

Support is delivered remotely first, since most issues can be fixed that way without waiting for an engineer. When hardware genuinely needs hands-on attention, we arrange an on-site visit.

Can you support a hybrid or remote team?

Yes. Our monitoring, EDR and helpdesk cover devices wherever your team is working from, whether that's a city-centre office, a client site or a home office.

Is cloud backup included in every plan?

Yes, cloud backup is included on all three plans — Essentials, Assurance and Ultimate — so your files, email and systems are protected against loss, hardware failure and ransomware from day one.

Do you offer on-site IT support in Cardiff?

Yes. We deliver support remotely with on-site visits across Cardiff and the surrounding area when hardware needs hands — covering Cardiff Castle, Principality Stadium and Cardiff Bay and the wider city centre, with most day-to-day issues resolved remotely the same day.
