IT Support in Long Eaton — Managed IT for Small Businesses
Furniture makers, trades and small offices sitting between Derby and Nottingham. Elford Tech Solutions gives Long Eaton businesses a proper IT department for a fixed monthly fee — helpdesk, Microsoft 365, security and backups, all in one place.
Long Eaton is about 50 minutes, so we work remote-first and book onsite visits in advance when hands-on work is needed. We also look after Sandiacre, Sawley, Breaston, Draycott and the wider NG10 postcode area.
Managed IT support for Long Eaton businesses
Most small firms in Long Eaton don't need a full-time IT manager. They need someone who answers the phone, keeps everything patched and secure in the background, and gives a straight answer on what to buy next. That's exactly what our managed plans do.
We work with teams around Fields Farm Road, Bostocks Lane, Nottingham Road and across the NG10 postcodes — accountants, clinics, agencies, trades, charities and manufacturers.
What's included
- Remote helpdesk — phone, email and secure remote sessions, usually resolved same day.
- Onsite support in Long Eaton — for anything that needs hands on hardware.
- Microsoft 365 — licensing, migrations, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.
- Email & domains — shared mailboxes, anti-spam, SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
- Cyber security — MFA, conditional access, endpoint protection and phishing awareness.
- Backup & recovery — Microsoft 365 backup and business data backup with 12-month retention.
- Onboarding & offboarding — pre-built laptops, accounts and secure leaver processes.
- Procurement — hardware sourced and configured before it lands on the desk.
Plans and pricing
Essentials is £39 per user per month: unlimited remote support, Microsoft 365 administration, monitoring and patching. Managed Care is £69 per user per month and adds a 4-hour response target on urgent tickets, Microsoft 365 backup and quarterly IT reviews. Everything is month-to-month — no three-year tie-ins.
Prefer pay-as-you-go? We also do fixed-price project work — 365 migrations, new office setups, server-to-cloud moves and security reviews — for Long Eaton businesses that aren't ready for a monthly plan.
Also covering the Long Eaton area
As well as Long Eaton itself we support Sandiacre, Sawley, Breaston, Draycott, Toton, and we're happy to work alongside your existing web or telecoms provider.
Hardware faults come back to our Staffordshire workshop for board-level repair, so you're not paying for a replacement laptop every time something breaks.
Frequently asked questions

Long Eaton is about 50 minutes, so we work remote-first and book onsite visits in advance when hands-on work is needed.
How quickly can you respond?
Remote support is usually same-day during business hours, and Managed Care customers get a 4-hour response target on urgent issues. Onsite visits in Long Eaton are typically arranged within one working day.
Can you take over from our current IT provider?
Yes — we handle the whole handover: documentation, admin credentials, licence transfers and a full audit of what you've got, before we take on day-to-day support.
Do you support Apple Macs as well as Windows?
Yes. We support Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, plus Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. All support plans are month-to-month. We'd rather earn the renewal than lock you in.
