Home IT support

IT help at home, without the jargon.

Business IT is our focus, but we have never stopped helping people at home: slow laptops, lost photos, WiFi that won’t reach the kitchen, and the suspicion that something dodgy has been installed.

What we help with

No question too small.

We would rather you rang about something minor than lived with it for six months, or clicked something you shouldn’t have.

  • Slow or misbehaving computers

    PCs, laptops and Macs. Often fixable, sometimes worth replacing, and we will say which.

  • Viruses and scams

    Pop-ups, hijacked browsers, and the “Microsoft support” caller who asked for remote access. Cleaned up and checked.

  • Lost files and photos

    Deleted, corrupted or stuck on a drive that won’t start. See data recovery.

  • WiFi that won’t reach

    Dead spots and buffering, usually solvable without a new router.

  • New computer setup

    Set up properly with your files, email, bookmarks and printer moved across.

  • Phone and tablet repairs

    Screens and batteries for Apple, Samsung and others, plus data recovery from devices that won’t start.

  • Backup that runs

    Automatic backup of photos and documents, set up once and checked occasionally.

  • Home office setup

    A second screen, a decent connection and secure access to work systems.

  • Custom and gaming PCs

    Built to spec, from quiet home office machines to high-end rigs.

How it works

Three ways to get help.

  • Over the phone or remotely

    With your permission we connect to your screen and fix it while you watch. Quickest and cheapest.

  • At your home

    For anything involving cables, routers, printers or a machine that won’t start.

  • Bring it to us

    Drop it in to our Horsham workshop. We quote before starting and call if anything changes.

We will always tell you the price before we start. If we can’t fix it, we don’t charge.

Common questions

Questions we get asked

Is my computer worth repairing?

Sometimes not, and we will say so. As a rough guide, if a repair costs more than half the price of a suitable replacement and the machine is over five years old, replacing it usually makes more sense.

Someone rang claiming to be from Microsoft and I let them in. What now?

Disconnect from the internet and call us. Microsoft never make unsolicited calls. We will remove whatever was installed, help secure your accounts, and help you speak to your bank if payment details were involved. It happens to a lot of people.

Do you support Apple as well as Windows?

Yes, Macs, iPhones and iPads as well as Windows PCs and Android devices.

I run a small business from home. Is this the right page?

If it is a couple of computers and a printer, yes. Once you have staff or client data to protect, our business service is better value and covers far more.

Got something that isn’t working?

Ring and describe it in your own words. If we can talk you through it in five minutes, we will, and there is no charge for that.
