CURRENTLY CLOSED:
I am currently closed due to childcare responsibilities, apart from occasional ad hoc work where I am able to fit it in. If you have a non-urgent query please email and I will endeavour to reply when I am able.
I hope to open up again fully in September ’21. Thank you.
Services
I provide a fixed-price quote where possible – call or email for an estimate. My rates are competitive and pricing is always kept reasonable. If your computer needs to be taken away for repair I will keep you informed and I will always check with you in the rare case that any work is likely to exceed my initial estimate.
I visit your home or business to resolve your computing issues swiftly and efficiently, getting you up and running again as quickly as possible. For fixes requiring more time, I can take your machine away to repair and return at your convenience.
