IT Support Medway

IT support across Medway that actually works

Straight-talking IT support and cyber security for Medway businesses. Phones answered fast, problems fixed in under 30 minutes. No jargon, no ticket queues. Just real engineers who know your setup.

Get in touch

IT that just works. Every day.

Someone actually answers

Call us and a real person picks up. Not a menu. Not a ticket system. Not a chatbot. A person who knows your setup and can help right now.

Proactive monitoring

We spot problems at 3am so you don't find out at 9am. Your systems are watched around the clock, and we fix things before they break.

Your team, supported

New starter needs setting up? Someone locked out? Printer won't print? We handle the day-to-day so your people can get on with their jobs.

Built for Medway businesses like yours

We work with companies across Medway, from Strood and Chatham through to Gillingham and Rainham, who've outgrown "my nephew does the IT" but aren't big enough for a full-time IT department. As independent IT consultants, we give you straight answers and proper Microsoft 365 and cyber security solutions, without the agenda of a 100-engineer national MSP.

We support businesses across Medway including Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood, Rainham, and the surrounding villages from Hoo and Cliffe down through Halling and Cuxton.

Teams of 5-100 people

Big enough to need proper IT, small enough to want someone who knows your name.

Offices, remote teams, or both

Whether your team's in one building or spread across the country, we keep everyone connected and productive.

Fed up with your current provider

If you're tired of slow responses, unresolved tickets, and feeling like just another number, we get it. That's why most of our clients come to us.

Want IT off your plate entirely

You've got a business to run. You shouldn't be troubleshooting printers, resetting passwords, or worrying about backups.

Everything you'd expect. And then some.

Unlimited remote support

Call or email as much as you need. No per-ticket charges, no watching the clock.

24/7 monitoring & alerts

We watch your systems around the clock. If something looks wrong, we're on it before you notice.

Patch management & updates

Security patches, software updates, firmware. All handled quietly in the background so nothing falls behind.

Backup & disaster recovery

Your data is backed up, tested, and recoverable. If the worst happens, you're back up and running fast.

New starter & leaver management

New employee? Set up and ready to go on day one. Someone leaving? Accounts secured and access revoked properly.

Microsoft 365 & Office 365 admin

Licensing, mailboxes, SharePoint, Teams. Set up properly and kept tidy. We deal with Microsoft so you don't sit on hold for 45 minutes.

Cyber security & antivirus

Endpoint protection, email filtering, MFA and security policies that actually make sense for your business, not enterprise overkill.

Quarterly business reviews

Regular check-ins to make sure your IT is still working for you, not just ticking along unnoticed.

The bits Medway businesses ask us about most

Beyond day-to-day support, this is the work that keeps cropping up across our Medway and North Kent client base. Whether it's a one-off project or part of an ongoing relationship, we'll give you a straight answer first.

North Kent

Just up the M2 from Medway

We're a North Kent-based team supporting Medway businesses directly, with clients across Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham. Not a call centre in another county, not a London consultancy with Medway pinned on a map for SEO.

<30 min

Response inside 30 minutes

Phones answered in a few rings by a real engineer. For everything else we aim to be back to you inside 30 minutes during working hours, not 48-hour ticket queues. Read why that matters.

23+ years

Of fixing real-world business IT

HelpFully launched in 2019, but the engineering experience came with us. Over two decades of seeing what actually breaks in North Kent and Medway businesses, and what's just consultancy fluff.

50/50

Mac and PC, fluently

Around half our Medway and North Kent clients run on Apple, half on Windows. Most providers only do one well. If you're on Macs and tired of being told "we don't really support those," we should talk.

How we helped a North Kent community centre

A real Kent install just down the road. WiFi that reaches the whole building, internet that doesn't drop, and a network that gets out of the way.

Istead Rise, Kent · Network & WiFi · November 2023

Istead Rise Community Centre: a network that reaches the whole building

The community centre's old kit was patchy, with WiFi dead zones across half the building. We installed a TP-Link Omada setup with full-coverage access points, new LAN cabling, and a gateway running primary plus failover internet. Cloud-managed centrally, scalable as they grow.

"We are delighted with the WiFi and LAN installation provided by HelpFully IT. Our community centre now offers reliable internet access to our visitors, and the network is easier to manage than ever before." Istead Rise Community Centre

What areas of Medway do you cover?

We support businesses across Medway including Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood, Rainham and the surrounding villages from Hoo down to Cuxton. Most support is delivered remotely, and we travel for on-site work when needed. If your office is in Medway, we can almost certainly help.

Pick up the phone and a real person answers, usually within a few rings. For everything else, we aim to respond inside 30 minutes during working hours. No 48-hour ticket queues, no automated email loops.

Do you support Mac and Windows?

We handle the messy bit. We pick up your existing setup, document it, take over from your old provider, and migrate accounts and access without breaking anything. Most switches complete in 2-4 weeks with zero downtime for your team. See how the switch works.
