What does the £14.99 starting price cover?+

It covers the Astley Essentials baseline shown on this page for each agreed employee or covered device. We confirm compatibility, scope and final pricing before onboarding.

Is unlimited IT support included?+

Not in the entry package. Support for the services we manage is included, while unlimited day-to-day user helpdesk support is available through a broader Managed IT plan.

Can you support our servers too?+

Yes. We manage Windows and Linux servers, SQL databases, domain controllers, Remote Desktop Services, storage and other business workloads. Server services are specified and priced separately.

Can we keep our existing IT provider?+

Yes. Astley Essentials can provide a managed monitoring and security layer where responsibilities are clearly agreed, or we can plan a structured move to fully managed IT.

How quickly can we get started?+

That depends on device numbers, current security tools and any existing supplier arrangements. We will review the environment and provide a practical onboarding plan.
