IT Managed Services & Technical Support
Technical Support Retainer Services
A reserved block of monthly engineering hours you can draw on for support, fixes, small changes and advice, giving you dependable technical help without hiring full-time staff.
Overview
Why it matters
for your business.
Plenty of businesses need technical help regularly but not enough to justify a full-time engineer. Booking ad hoc work each time means delays, repeated briefings and unpredictable invoices. A support retainer reserves engineering capacity for you every month, with people who already understand your systems.
We agree a monthly hour bank, the skills you need and how requests are raised and prioritised. Hours can cover troubleshooting, minor development, configuration changes, vendor coordination or architectural advice across your stack. You receive a transparent timesheet each month. Rules for unused hours, overage rates and response targets are set out in our SLA and your agreement.

FAQ
Common
questions.
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Do unused hours roll over?
That depends on the retainer plan you choose. Some plans allow a limited carry-forward to the next month, others do not. The rule is written into your agreement so there are no surprises at month end.
What if we need more hours in a busy month?
Additional hours are billed at the overage rate in your agreement, and we always flag when you are close to your limit so you can decide whether to continue, defer or upgrade the retainer.
