Why your repair is in safe hands

Six-month guarantee

A six-month guarantee on all our work. That is double what the average repair shop offers, if they offer one at all.

No fix, no fee

If we cannot fix the issue, we waive and refund the fees connected to that issue. Fair exceptions apply where other faults were successfully diagnosed or repaired.

Price agreed first

We assess the device and confirm the cost with you. Nothing is charged until you say go ahead.

Prepaid shipping

We send you a prepaid label for getting the device to us, then arrange its tracked return. No courier logistics to organise.

Not just hardware

Plenty of faults never involve a broken part. If the problem is in the software, that is our job too, and the same no fix, no fee promise and six-month guarantee apply.

  • Set ups

    New device set up, accounts, email, apps and files moved across, ready to use out of the box.

  • Virus removal

    Viruses, malware, pop-ups and suspicious apps removed, with the security gaps that let them in closed up.

  • Health checks

    A full once-over: updates, storage, battery health, startup clutter and anything slowing the machine down.

  • Software fault & fix

    Boot failures, crashes, failed updates and operating-system problems diagnosed and put right.

Help with tech

Nothing broken? We still help

Plenty of people get in touch simply because tech is confusing. If you cannot work out how to install the apps you want, set up a new laptop, move your photos across or get email and printing working, that is a job we are happy to do, without stacking on fees for something that takes us a few minutes.

Ask us in plain words. There is no such thing as a silly question here, and we will explain what we can do.

Ask for a hand
  • Setting up a new phone, laptop or tablet
  • Installing apps and software you need
  • Windows or macOS settings and updates
  • Email, printers and Wi-Fi that will not behave
  • Moving photos, files and accounts to a new device
  • Clearing out a slow, cluttered machine

Quick answers

The things people ask first

What does postage cost me?
Nothing to organise. We email you a prepaid label, then arrange the tracked return once the repair is done.

Most are finished within a few working days of arriving. If a part needs ordering, we will tell you.

Your data stays yours

We only access what the repair requires and never copy personal files. Back your device up before posting it, and remove any device lock you can, so we can test the repair.

Not sure it can be fixed?

Some things are beyond economical repair, and we will say so plainly rather than take your money. Ask us first and you will get a straight answer.

Let's get it sorted

Send us the details of your device and we will take it from there. Repairs are our job, not a favour. No question is too small.
