Engineering your business
can rely on.
Eight Mile is a London engineering consultancy. We design, build and support the software, networks and infrastructure that businesses depend on every day, and we stay accountable for them long after launch.
What we do
Four disciplines, one accountable team.
Software, networking, cloud and security, from the same engineers. We survey before we quote, deliver to certified standard and stay on the line afterwards, so a problem never stops at the edge of someone else's remit.
Software development
Customer portals, operations platforms, SaaS products and the AI features inside them. Scoped in the first conversation, priced in writing, and built by the people who will run it in production.
Networking
Enterprise and domestic networks designed and installed to Cisco certified standard. Wi-Fi surveys, structured cabling, access points that reach every room, CCTV and smart buildings.
Infrastructure and cloud
AWS, GCP and Azure platforms, delivery pipelines and managed hosting. Monitoring, backups and high availability are part of the build, not a line on a later invoice.
Security and audit
Independent reviews of cloud accounts, networks and applications by security cleared engineers. A plain-English report, fixes ranked by what to do first, and a retest once they are in.
Our work
Products we run, not slides we show.
Access control readers, high availability PostgreSQL, an inbox that triages itself, Terraform providers on the public registry, and the platform this site runs on. Most of it is open source, so you can read the code before you talk to us.
Each open-source project has a page of its own. See the full index.
Websites
A website you never have to think about.
Design, build, hosting, domain, email, backups and updates from one team. You approve the design and tell us what the site should say. Everything behind it is ours to run.
An engineer shapes the site around your brand with you, and nothing goes live until you have signed it off. From then on we keep it secure, fast and current, and when you ring, you reach the person who built it.
Built on our own platform
Every site we deliver runs on TradeOps, so your bookings, quotes, invoices, email and customer records live beside your website rather than behind five separate logins. This site runs on it too.
Payment systems
Take card payments on your own site.
Admin accounts
A back office for the people who run the business.
Branded email
Mail sent and received from your own domain.
Instant updates
Change the words and they are live, no ticket needed.
AI assistance
Drafting, summaries and automation where they save time.
Every screen
Built for the phone first, because that is where customers are.
Reviews
In their words, not ours.
Verbatim reviews from the homes, shops and businesses we have worked for across London, exactly as they were left on Checkatrade and Trustpilot.
