Working From Home Needs a Proper Setup
Just moved in and working from home next week? Desk still in a box? Monitor arms you don't know how to fit? Cables everywhere?
💡 Pro tip: A properly set up home office pays for itself in productivity. Working from a wobbly dining table with a laptop for 6 months isn't actually saving money.
Why Not Just Wing It?
Because you'll end up with a wonky desk and cable spaghetti that annoys you every single day you work from home.

🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 Setting up yourself:
- Build desk on level floor
- Don't over-tighten screws (strips threads)
- Monitor top should be at eye level
- Cable trays attach under desk
- Leave cable length for adjustment
⚠️ Common mistakes:
- Building desk wonky
- Monitors too high (neck strain)
- No cable management (looks awful)
- Desk against window (screen glare)
💡 Pro trick: Velcro cable ties are your friend. Easy to adjust later when you add equipment.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📦 Need electrical work? If you need additional sockets for your office, that's a separate electrician job. Best to get that done first.
Got a gaming setup? Same service applies - desk assembly, monitor positioning, RGB cable chaos organized.
Exeter's older houses? Uneven floors are common. I'll level your desk properly so it doesn't rock when you're typing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in home office setup?
Assembling your desk and office furniture, fitting monitor arm(s) if you've got them, organizing cables so it's not a spaghetti mess, setting up your workspace so it's actually usable. Basically getting you from boxes to productive in a few hours.
Can you mount monitors to arms?
Yes - if you've bought monitor arms I can fit them to your desk. Just need to know the desk type (some desks need reinforcement for heavy monitor arms). VESA mounting, cable management, the lot.
What if I've got multiple monitors?
No problem - lots of people work with 2-3 monitors these days. I can set up dual or triple monitor arms, organize all the cables, position everything ergonomically. Just takes a bit longer.
Do you do cable management?
Yes - part of the service. I use cable trays, clips, or sleeves to keep everything tidy under the desk. Looks professional and makes it easier to add/remove equipment later.
Can you help position desk for best light?
I can advise based on your room - generally you want natural light from the side, not behind the screen (glare) or in front (shadows on keyboard). But your room layout might limit options.
