Comms room & server room cleaning, Auckland
Dust is cooking your network gear. We clean it out without switching anything off.
Comms rooms and server cupboards pull in dust through every fan, and nobody cleans them because the office cleaner won't touch the rack and the IT company doesn't carry a vacuum. Dust blocks filters and fans, the gear runs hotter, and switches, UPS units and NAS boxes fail early. We clean the room, the racks and the equipment around live systems, then give you a short report with photos.

Why a cabler should do it, not a cleaner
We know what's live
We install racks, patch panels, switches and UPS units for a living. We know which cable carries the internet, which plug feeds the server, and what not to nudge.
Built for working rooms
Nothing is powered down unless you agree to it first. We work rack by rack and keep the doors and floor clear so the room stays usable.
You get a record
Before and after photos, plus anything we spot on the way: a fan that has stopped, a UPS battery warning, a blocked vent or a cable at risk.
What's included
Every room is different, so the quote lists exactly what we'll do. A standard clean covers:
Racks and cabinets
Dust removed from cabinet tops, doors, side panels, shelves and the outside of mounted equipment, using anti-static brushes and a filtered vacuum.
Fans, filters and vents
Cabinet fan trays, door filters and the room's air vents and grilles, so cooling air can actually get through.
Floor, skirting and under the rack
The floor, the space under and behind the racks, and under raised floor tiles where you have them.
Cable tidy (optional)
Loose patch leads re-dressed and labelled while we're there, or a full cable tidy quoted alongside.
Clear-out
Old boxes, packaging and dead equipment taken away with your OK.
Visual health check
A walk-round of fans, UPS lights, cable strain and room temperature, written up in the report with photos.

How often should a comms room be cleaned?
For most offices, once or twice a year is enough. Clean it more often if the room is in a warehouse or workshop, near a busy street, shares space with a printer or stationery store, or the building has had renovation or construction work nearby. A room that's had building work is worth cleaning straight after the builders leave, before the dust works its way into the fans.

Every room gets a fixed written quote after a free survey, so you know the price before we start. Regular cleans can be added to a Network Care plan.

Questions we get asked
Do you need to turn the servers off?
No. We clean the room, the cabinets and the outside of live equipment without powering anything down. If a device needs cleaning inside, that needs a planned shutdown, and we only do it with your OK at a time you choose.
How often should a server room be cleaned?
Once or twice a year suits most offices. Dusty sites such as warehouses, workshops or rooms near building work need it more often, and any room should be cleaned once the builders have finished nearby.
Can you clean after hours?
Yes. Most cleans happen during the day around live systems, but we can work after hours or at weekends at our after-hours rate if you'd rather nobody is in the office.
What do you clean with?
Anti-static brushes and cloths and a filtered vacuum. We don't use liquids or compressed air inside a live rack, because both push dust and moisture into the gear.
Can comms room cleaning be part of a maintenance plan?
Yes. You can book a one-off clean, or add a regular clean to a Network Care plan so it happens on a schedule without you having to remember.
Do you clean data centres?
We clean comms rooms, server rooms and network cabinets for offices, schools, medical practices, retail and warehouses. Larger data halls are quoted after a site visit.
When was your comms room last cleaned?
If you can't remember, it's due. Book a free 30-minute survey and get a fixed price within 24 business hours.
