Managed PHP Maintenance
Your PHP stack, patched and watched every month, for a year — from £299/month billed annually. Starts with the £149 check, included.
Billed yearly — one payment instead of twelve, and it funds the two months free.

How the Year Runs
Month 0: the check
The included £149 check confirms the version, patch level and any needed one-off work. The plan starts from here.
Each month
Patching, backup and uptime checks, advisory watch, and any emergency work jumps the emergency queue.
Every month: the report
A written summary of what changed, what was coming, and what needs your decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the price depend on the application?+
Patching a plain WordPress site means core and plugin updates tested on staging. Patching a WooCommerce store means re-testing checkout every time; Laravel, Symfony and custom apps add composer dependencies and bespoke code. The changes in surface area are real, so the monthly figure is too.
What happens first once I've paid?+
The included £149 check runs and you get its written report. If it confirms the site is on a patched release and healthy, maintenance starts from that month. If it shows something first — a needed £999 patch or an upgrade — we quote that separately and the plan starts when it's resolved, not before.
Can I cancel?+
Yes. Full refund within 14 days of payment if the check hasn't been delivered; after that, cancellation refunds unused whole months, calculated from the plan start. The full terms are on the service terms page.
Why billed annually instead of monthly?+
Two reasons: one payment a year avoids twelve billing touches and card-webhooks we don't run yet, and it funds a discount — the £299 tier works out to two months free.
