This page is for businesses in Oldham that are thinking of changing IT support. It covers what that looks like when your office is in Oldham town centre, Royton, Shaw, Saddleworth or the surrounding area, and the engineers would come from our office at 109 Dale Street, Milnrow — a short drive away, not another city. For the full UK process, contract checks and handover checklist, use the step-by-step switching IT provider guide. This page does not repeat that guide.

When Oldham businesses look at a change
The reasons are usually practical: tickets take too long, there is no named person to call, the monthly cost no longer matches the service, or nobody has reviewed security, backups or Microsoft 365 licences in a long time. Firms in Royton, Shaw and Saddleworth often want to know whether an engineer can actually get to site, not only work remotely. We support those towns from Milnrow, and most issues are fixed remotely; when a visit is needed, an engineer comes from 109 Dale Street.
What to sort locally before you give notice
Read your current agreement first. The notice period, any auto-renewal and any exit or handover duties are set out in that document. There is no single statutory notice period for a commercial IT support contract in the UK, so do not assume a standard number of days. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Also confirm that your business, not only the outgoing provider, can control Microsoft 365 admin access, your domain and DNS, firewalls, backups and licences. The main guide has the full list. If any of that sits only with the current provider, get it written down before you serve notice.
What you can expect if you move to us
Ticket response is typically within 30 minutes for logged tickets, and within 5 minutes for urgent requests. That is a typical response, not a guarantee or an SLA. Managed IT support is from £35 per device a month; use the cost calculator for an indicative figure, then we confirm a fixed monthly price after a short conversation.
You usually give notice yourself, because the contract is yours. We plan the handover with you so access, passwords and monitoring move across in an agreed order. We do not quote a standard timescale, because it depends on your systems and your notice period. The records to ask for are in the handover checklist.
