Common questions

Do you come to me, or do I bring my computer to you?

In most cases I can come to you, at home or at your business, across Bolton and nearby. Some jobs are easier if I take the computer away and bring it back once it is sorted. We will do whatever suits you.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the job, but I will always tell you the cost before I start, so there are no surprises. Many everyday fixes are quick and affordable, and if something is not worth doing, I will say so.

How quickly can you help?

Often the same day or the next day. Being local and a one-person business means I can usually get to you quickly. Call or message and I will let you know.

Do you fix Macs as well as Windows PCs?

Yes. I help with Windows PCs and Macs, as well as laptops, phones and tablets.

Is my data safe and private?

Yes. I treat your files and privacy with care, only access what I need to do the job, and never share anything. If you have sensitive files you are worried about, just say and we will handle it together.

What areas do you cover?

Bolton and the surrounding areas across Greater Manchester. If you are a little further out, just ask and I will let you know.

What if it cannot be fixed?

I will always be honest. If something is not worth repairing, I will tell you straight and help you work out the best next step, whether that is a replacement or getting your files off safely. No pressure and no jargon.
