What would you like to change?
You do not need to know the technical cause. Tell us where it happens and what you would like to be able to do instead.
What we would check
We check the extension and the connection back to the house. Insulation and walls may block the signal; a wired connection into the new space may help.
We agree the useful areas and a sensible route with you before quoting the work.
Your next step
Request an assessment without choosing equipment, sending photos or making a payment. We will contact you to agree how to help.
More detail: the questions behind this guide
For readers who want to understand the equipment and installation considerations.
wifi blocked by extension insulation
Scottish Section 6 Energy Standards and aluminum foil reflection. Foil-faced PIR can reflect and attenuate Wi-Fi; joints, openings and construction affect how completely it behaves as a Faraday cage. A hardwired AP inside the extension avoids relying on a radio path through the foil, with penetration details agreed to preserve the thermal and vapour layers.
no wifi in new kitchen extension
Why bifold glass doors and open-plan spaces still suffer dead-zones. Foil-faced PIR can reflect and attenuate Wi-Fi; joints, openings and construction affect how completely it behaves as a Faraday cage. A hardwired AP inside the extension avoids relying on a radio path through the foil, with penetration details agreed to preserve the thermal and vapour layers.
celotex foil blocking wifi
Agree penetration and sealing details before routing data cable around the vapour barrier. Foil-faced PIR can reflect and attenuate Wi-Fi; joints, openings and construction affect how completely it behaves as a Faraday cage. A hardwired AP inside the extension avoids relying on a radio path through the foil, with penetration details agreed to preserve the thermal and vapour layers.
how to get wifi into home extension
Confirm the selected AP finish, mounting method and port specification. Foil-faced PIR can reflect and attenuate Wi-Fi; joints, openings and construction affect how completely it behaves as a Faraday cage. A hardwired AP inside the extension avoids relying on a radio path through the foil, with penetration details agreed to preserve the thermal and vapour layers.
Your questions, answered.
Why is the Wi-Fi poor in my new extension?
We check the extension and the connection back to the house. Insulation and walls may block the signal; a wired connection into the new space may help.
Do I need to know which equipment to buy?
No. Tell us what is not working or what you want to do. We check your connection, the property and the areas you need before recommending equipment.
Do I need photos to ask for a visit?
No. You can request an assessment without photos. If useful, we can ask for a couple of photos later. Never climb or move equipment to take one.
Will I have to pay before someone looks at the problem?
There is no payment to make an enquiry or for the initial local assessment. We confirm the visit with you, explain suitable options and provide a written quote before you agree to installation.
