Managed IT support for Edgbaston businesses
LeapIT supports businesses across Edgbaston from our head office in Hockley Heath, Solihull. It's typically 25–35 minutes from our door outside peak, so on-site cover is genuinely quick rather than a best-effort promise.
Our model is remote-first: the UK helpdesk resolves the vast majority of tickets in minutes without anyone getting in a car. For work that needs hands on kit, new starter builds, server work, cabling, office moves, an engineer comes to you. Read more about our managed IT support approach, or our small business IT support if you're under 25 staff.
Edgbaston's business base is unusually professional-services heavy, private medical and dental practices, solicitors, accountants, education providers and consultancies clustered around the Calthorpe Estate and the Hagley Road. That's exactly the size and shape of client we're built for: enough structure to need proper security and compliance, not enough scale to justify an in-house IT team.

How a move over to us actually goes
Edgbaston practices tend to worry about two things when they change provider: patient or client data, and downtime during working hours. We plan around both.
1. An honest look at the current setup
An hour at your building, Hagley Road, Calthorpe Estate, one of the converted villas off Harborne Road, or on Teams if diaries are tight. We go through the network, the 365 tenant, backups, who has admin rights and what your indemnity insurer or regulator expects of you. Written findings follow, no strings.
2. A fixed monthly figure
One per-user, per-month price, normally within a week. It covers the helpdesk, on-site visits, monitoring and the security stack, and we tell you up front which project work sits outside it, rather than invoicing you for it later.
3. Changeover, scheduled around clinics and client work
Roughly 30 days. We take on open tickets, document the site properly, deploy monitoring, backup and endpoint protection, and do the disruptive parts out of hours so consulting rooms and meeting rooms stay usable. We handle the handover conversation with your outgoing provider.
4. Once you're live
One number for the helpdesk, a named account manager who has met your practice manager, scheduled on-site days, and a quarterly review covering ticket trends, security posture and what needs replacing next year before it fails.

FAQ
Edgbaston IT Support FAQ
Yes. Edgbaston sits well inside our standard coverage area. We support businesses across Edgbaston Village, the Calthorpe Estate, Five Ways, the Hagley Road corridor, Harborne and Selly Oak with the same helpdesk, tooling and SLAs as our Solihull and Birmingham city-centre clients.
The helpdesk picks up most tickets within minutes and resolves them remotely on first contact. Where an on-site visit is needed, we typically have an engineer with you within three hours for critical issues, Edgbaston is around 25–35 minutes from our Hockley Heath base.
No. Travel across the West Midlands is built into how we cost a managed support contract. You're never billed per visit or per mile for on-site work in Edgbaston.
Yes. We support private healthcare practices across Edgbaston with DSPT compliance, secure patient record handling, NHS mail integration, clinical software support and backup that stands up to scrutiny.
Yes. The PSTN switch-off in January 2027 means any business still on ISDN or analogue lines needs to move to a hosted or VoIP system. We're a 3CX certified partner and also deploy Microsoft Teams Phone, planning migrations well ahead of the deadline.
Yes, and we do it often. Our 30-day transition plan covers picking up open tickets, auditing and documenting your environment, deploying monitoring, backup and security tooling, and handling the handover with your outgoing provider, without losing service for a day.
Yes. Most Edgbaston practices we support sit under CQC, SRA or Lexcel expectations, so we build support around evidence: documented backups with tested restores, MFA on everything, encrypted laptops, joiner/leaver records and access reviews you can show an inspector rather than describe.
Yes. A lot of the Hagley Road and Calthorpe Estate stock is converted period property or serviced office space, which means shared risers, landlord-controlled comms rooms and limits on what can be drilled or cabled. We deal with the managing agent on access and design around the building rather than fighting it.
We do. Anything disruptive (server work, switch swaps, migrations) is scheduled for evenings or weekends so consulting rooms are not sitting idle. Day-to-day fixes are remote and usually done while the patient list keeps running.
