Reliable WiFi is no longer a nice-to-have. It is critical for day-to-day business operations, teaching and learning, guest services, payment systems, cloud applications, VoIP, Teams calls, CCTV, mobile devices and smart building technology.
At Elmdale IT Services, we provide professional wireless surveys using our Ekahau wireless survey tools to help organisations understand, improve and future-proof their WiFi networks.
Whether you are planning a new wireless installation, upgrading to WiFi 6, WiFi 6E or WiFi 7, troubleshooting poor coverage, or trying to understand why your current WiFi is unreliable, our wireless survey service gives you the data, reporting and expert guidance needed to make the right decisions.
Many WiFi problems are not caused by the internet connection. They are caused by poor wireless design.
Common issues include:
A professional wireless survey shows what is really happening. Instead of guessing where access points should go, Elmdale IT uses survey data, heatmaps, signal readings, interference analysis and capacity planning to design WiFi around the real building and the real users.
Contact us to discuss a wireless solution for your business. We help you plan, install, and maintain a network that meets your needs and budget.
Elmdale IT uses professional Ekahau wireless survey equipment and software to provide detailed wireless analysis and design.
A predictive survey is ideal before installation, refurbishment or a major WiFi upgrade. We use building plans, wall types, floor layouts and expected device usage to model wireless coverage before access points are installed.
This helps identify:
Predictive design is particularly useful for new buildings, school projects, hospitality refurbishments, warehouse designs and office moves.
An onsite survey measures the real wireless environment inside your building. Our engineers walk the site with Ekahau survey equipment to capture accurate WiFi signal, coverage and performance data.
This helps us understand:
This is ideal for organisations experiencing WiFi complaints, slow speeds, dropped connections or unreliable coverage.
After a new WiFi installation, a validation survey proves whether the finished network meets the agreed design.
This is particularly valuable for schools, colleges, hotels, hospitality venues, offices and large sites where wireless performance is business-critical.
A validation survey can confirm:

Schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts rely heavily on wireless networks. Laptops, iPads, Chromebooks, interactive screens, MIS systems, cloud platforms, VoIP, safeguarding systems and online assessments all depend on stable WiFi.
Elmdale IT supports education environments with wireless surveys designed around real classroom use.
We consider:
A wireless survey gives school leaders and IT teams the evidence needed to plan budgets, justify upgrades and avoid poor access point placement.
Modern businesses depend on cloud systems, Microsoft 365, Teams meetings, VoIP, mobile working, warehouse scanners, visitor WiFi and secure access to systems.
Poor WiFi causes staff frustration, slow working, dropped calls and reduced productivity.
Elmdale IT helps businesses identify the cause of wireless issues and design networks that support the way staff actually work.
Our business WiFi surveys are suitable for:
Hospitality WiFi has to work for staff, guests and operational systems at the same time.
Hotels, restaurants, bars, cafés, wedding venues and leisure sites often have challenging buildings with thick walls, kitchens, outdoor seating areas, cellars, guest rooms and high user density.
Elmdale IT can survey and design WiFi for:
We design wireless networks that separate business-critical systems from guest access while maintaining strong, reliable coverage.
Following the survey, Elmdale IT can provide a clear wireless survey report with practical recommendations.
Depending on the project, this can include:
Our reports are designed to be useful for both technical teams and senior decision-makers. They clearly show what is working, what is not working, and what needs to happen next.
A heatmap is only one part of a good wireless survey.
Elmdale IT looks at the whole network, including:
This means our recommendations are practical, realistic and aligned with the wider IT environment.
You should consider a professional wireless survey if:

A wireless survey helps remove guesswork from WiFi design. Poor WiFi is often caused by badly placed access points, interference, thick walls, poor roaming, incorrect channel settings or too many devices using the same area.
A survey gives you clear evidence of what is happening and what needs to be improved.
We carry out wireless surveys for a wide range of environments, including:
A WiFi heatmap is a visual report that shows wireless signal coverage across a floor plan or site layout. It helps identify strong coverage areas, weak spots, dead zones, interference and areas where access points may need to be moved, added or reconfigured.
Yes. Slow WiFi is not always caused by a slow internet connection. It can be caused by poor signal, interference, overloaded access points, incorrect channels, weak roaming or poor network design.
A wireless survey helps identify the root cause so the correct fix can be applied.
Yes. We can survey your current wireless network to check how well it is performing. This is useful if users are reporting dropped connections, slow speeds, poor coverage, unreliable Teams calls, EPOS issues or WiFi blackspots.
We can then provide a clear improvement plan.
Yes. We can create predictive wireless designs using building plans before access points are installed. This helps plan access point locations, cabling requirements, coverage areas and budget before work begins.
This is ideal for new offices, school buildings, hospitality refurbishments and large network upgrades.
Yes. Following the survey, Elmdale IT can provide a clear wireless survey report. This may include heatmaps, access point locations, coverage results, interference findings, recommendations, cabling requirements and suggested next steps.
The report can be used for internal planning, budget approval, network upgrades or project documentation.
Yes. Elmdale IT can provide the full service from survey and design through to installation, configuration, testing and ongoing support.
We can also review your switching, cabling, firewall, VLANs, guest WiFi and internet connectivity to make sure the full network supports the wireless design.
A predictive survey uses building plans and software modelling to design the wireless network before installation. It helps estimate access point locations and coverage.
An onsite survey measures the real wireless environment inside the building. It captures actual signal levels, interference and coverage based on the live site.
For the best results, many projects benefit from both: predictive design before installation and validation survey after installation.
Yes. A wireless survey is a valuable first step before upgrading to newer WiFi standards. It helps confirm where access points should be placed, whether existing cabling and switching are suitable, and whether the design will support the number of users and devices expected.
Yes. Elmdale IT can design wireless networks that separate staff, guest, student, EPOS, CCTV, IoT and management traffic using appropriate network segmentation.
This helps improve security, performance and control across the network.
This depends on the size and complexity of the site. A small office may only take a short visit, while a school, hotel, warehouse or multi-building site may require more time.
Elmdale IT can discuss your site layout, number of buildings, floor plans and current WiFi issues before recommending the right survey approach.
Floor plans are very helpful, especially for predictive wireless design and accurate heatmap reporting. If floor plans are not available, we can still discuss alternative options depending on the site.
For larger schools, colleges, hotels and commercial buildings, accurate plans will improve the quality of the survey and final report.
Yes. We can assess outdoor wireless requirements such as playgrounds, courtyards, car parks, terraces, outdoor seating areas, event spaces and external roaming areas.
Outdoor WiFi requires careful planning due to building materials, weatherproof access points, mounting locations, cabling routes and coverage expectations.
Contact Elmdale IT Services to discuss your site, current WiFi issues and what you want to achieve. We can then recommend the most suitable survey type and next steps.
Whether you need to fix unreliable WiFi, plan a new installation or validate an existing network, Elmdale IT can help.
