Hardware maintenance in Surrey —
2-hour engineer + parts, every vendor.
Servnet runs multi-vendor break-fix and post-warranty cover from our Surrey HQ in Fetcham — kit installed across the county, the M25 western corridor, Hampshire and West Sussex. Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant + Alletra, Cisco Catalyst + Nexus, NetApp ONTAP, Pure FlashArray, Lenovo ThinkSystem. Engineer + parts dispatched at the fastest UK SLA — typical 2-hour on-site time for any Surrey postcode.
Why Surrey hardware support is the fastest in the UK
Most UK hardware maintenance providers measure SLAs in hours plus drive time from a regional hub. Servnet measures Surrey SLAs in minutes — because our engineers, our parts depot, and our HQ are all in Fetcham. For Surrey customers this is the closest you get to "engineer next door".
Engineers based at Fetcham HQ
Servnet hardware engineers work from the Fetcham office, with the parts depot in the same building. For Surrey customers, the engineer is already in your postcode area when the ticket logs — drive time is typically 20–45 minutes.
Pulsant Crowthorne + Telehouse West reach
For Surrey customers running co-located kit at Pulsant Crowthorne, ARK Spring Park or Telehouse West we attend within 90 minutes — DC access protocols established with each facility.
EOSL support for Surrey legacy estates
Many Surrey clients run 7-year refresh cycles on PowerEdge G12/G13, ProLiant Gen8/Gen9 and Cisco Nexus 5K/7K. Post-warranty third-party maintenance from Servnet keeps it running at typically 50–70% less than vendor TPS.
Weekend windows for pharma + aviation
Pharma batch-release windows, aviation maintenance bays and 24×7 logistics customers all have specific change windows. Servnet schedules around them with engineers physically on-site for the full duration.

How Surrey break-fix actually runs
2-hour engineer + parts
Standard cover dispatches engineer + parts from Fetcham HQ inside 2 working hours of a P1 logged ticket for any Surrey postcode. Often faster — typically 60–90 minutes for KT, GU, RH postcodes.
DC pre-access for Pulsant + ARK
For Surrey DC customers we hold standing access lists with Pulsant Crowthorne, ARK Spring Park, Telehouse West and Equinix LD4 (Slough) — engineer clears security without customer raising a fresh access request.
Parts logistics shaped around HQ
Most common spares (PSUs, disks, fans, GBICs, BBU) held at Fetcham HQ. Less-common parts ship same-day from UK distribution or air-freight Heathrow with 12–24h ETA.
Out-of-hours included on retainer
24×7×2 included on retainer plans for Surrey customers — no surcharge for Saturday-evening or Sunday-morning P1 attendance. Engineer roster is real and Surrey-local.
Surrey hardware maintenance — common questions
Can you really get someone on-site in Surrey in 2 hours?
Yes — and often faster. Engineers work from the Fetcham HQ; for most KT, GU, RH postcodes the drive is 20–45 minutes. For 4-hour SLA contracts the standard is 4 hours; for 2-hour retainers (extra cost) we deliver consistently.
Do you take over support on out-of-warranty Dell / HPE kit?
Yes — bulk of Surrey third-party maintenance work. We support post-warranty PowerEdge G12+, ProLiant Gen8+, Cisco Catalyst / Nexus, NetApp FAS, Pure FlashArray (older gen) and most enterprise networking. Pricing typically 40–70% under OEM TPS.
Can you attend Pulsant Crowthorne or ARK Spring Park on a 4-hour SLA?
Yes — we hold standing access at Pulsant Crowthorne, ARK Spring Park, Telehouse West and Equinix LD4 (Slough). Engineer with parts inside 4 hours of P1 ticket; for Pulsant Crowthorne we often hit 90 minutes.
Can you do scheduled change-window work on a pharma site?
Yes — pharma change-window work happens around batch-release cycles agreed with the customer's QA team. Engineer on-site for the full window, parts pre-staged, GMP-classified change documentation completed.
Do you stock spares for Pure FlashArray / NetApp ONTAP at the Fetcham HQ?
Yes — controller heads, drive shelves and SFP/QSFP optics for Pure FlashArray (FA-X, FA-C, FA//XL), NetApp AFF and FAS held at the Fetcham depot for same-day dispatch into any Surrey or M25-west postcode.
What's the difference between your Surrey cover and OEM support?
Materially faster response into Surrey postcodes (typical 90 minutes vs OEM 4-hour next-day), lower cost on post-warranty kit, a single engineer face across multi-vendor estates. Trade-off is we're not the manufacturer — for under-warranty kit OEM is sometimes the right call.
