Equipment changes
Install, replace, reconnect or label agreed workplace and infrastructure equipment during a booked visit.
Greater Manchester onsite
Put reliable technical hands at the site when remote access is not enough.
IrwellCore provides planned onsite IT smart hands across Greater Manchester for businesses, MSPs and vendors with a clear runbook and escalation path.
What the service covers
A focused workstream built around the required outcome.
Book scheduled onsite delivery across Greater Manchester for practical tasks that cannot be completed effectively through a remote session.
Site checks
Verify inventory, cabling, device state or physical conditions and return structured evidence to the remote team.
Remote-team assistance
Follow an approved runbook while a vendor, MSP or specialist directs the wider change remotely.
Rollout support
Add hands for a planned laptop deployment, office change or multi-user equipment replacement window.
When to use this service
Bring a defined change, constraint or delivery gap.
A useful first conversation explains what must be different at the end, who owns the environment and what is currently blocking the team.
- A remote support team needs someone to inspect or change equipment physically.
- A rollout requires additional onsite engineers for a defined day or phase.
- A site has no resident IT staff but the task cannot be completed remotely.
- A vendor needs photographs, serial numbers, labels or other completion evidence.
- An office move or equipment refresh needs a practical onsite workstream.
Project deliverables
Useful records, not just completed tasks.
Exact deliverables are confirmed in the proposal. The aim is to leave the receiving team with enough context to operate and support what changed.

Service FAQs
Questions to settle before delivery.
These answers explain common assumptions. The written proposal is the final record of what a specific project includes.
Read all general FAQsWhich areas do you cover onsite?
Scheduled onsite work is centred on Greater Manchester. Travel beyond the area can be considered when the scope, access and delivery window make the visit practical.
Do you offer same-day emergency callouts?
No. Smart-hands visits are planned project delivery with an agreed runbook, site contact and time window rather than an emergency break-fix service.
Can our remote engineer direct the work?
Yes. The escalation path, communication channel and safe stopping points should be agreed in advance so the onsite and remote roles remain clear.
Will you provide photos and serial numbers?
Yes, when evidence capture is included and the site owner authorises it. The required naming, storage and transfer method should be stated in the runbook.
