How it works

1

Get in touch

Describe the problem by email or the contact form. I'll get back to you within 24 hours on weekdays.

2

Diagnosis

I run a full diagnostic and let you know what's wrong before any work begins.

3

Fix

Once you approve, I carry out the repair and test everything before returning the machine.

Coverage area

I come to you. Call-outs are free within York and the villages to the north, including Sutton on the Forest and the surrounding area.

Outside this area? Get in touch anyway. Travel beyond the covered zone is available on request and charged at cost.

PC building

Got parts and need them put together properly? I'll assemble your build, manage cables, and run POST and stress tests to make sure everything is stable before handoff. Not sure what parts to get? I can advise on components for your budget and use case. Just get in touch before you buy.

What's not covered

Physical drive failure and component-level repair (soldering, board-level faults) are referred out to specialist shops. Parts are not included in labour prices unless stated. I'll source parts at cost or work with what you supply.

Not sure what's wrong?

Describe the symptoms and I'll let you know if I can help, for free.
