Beeston
How we work here
Beeston, LS11, is inner-south Leeds: rows of terraced streets, family homes that have been lived in for years, and a real mix of ages and backgrounds. It is more of a desktop-and-family-laptop part of Leeds than a shiny-new-MacBook one, and in a lot of houses one machine does for the whole household, so when it goes down it is missed straight away. That shapes how we work here. Parking on a terraced street is tight and lugging a desktop onto a bus is nobody's idea of a good afternoon, so we come to the door, and if the machine needs a proper stint on the bench we collect it and bring it back rather than leaving you to sort transport.
We come to you in Beeston, at home or wherever you work, day or night, Sunday to Friday. If the fault means the machine needs longer than a doorstep visit allows, we can collect it and return it once it is sorted, which saves you carrying a desktop anywhere. There is no walk-in shop and no counter to queue at, and advice by message is free whether we come to you or collect the machine.

How it works
Free advice by message, a call-out quoted first, then a fixed price
- Tell us the fault, free. Send an enquiry and describe what is wrong. We will tell you what it sounds like, whether it is worth doing, and whether we can sort it over a remote link without anybody travelling. That conversation costs nothing.
- A minimum call-out, quoted first. If it needs a visit, we agree the call-out before we travel, so you know it before you commit to anything. It comes off the price if you go ahead with the repair.
- A fixed quote. Once we have seen the machine you get a clear, fixed price before any work starts. No surprises, no hourly meter running.
- We fix it, or there is no repair fee. Happy with the quote? We do the work. If we cannot fix the fault we quoted for, you do not pay for the repair.
Questions
The things people ask
The whole family shares one computer and the kids need it for school. Can you sort it without it being gone for days?
Tell us that when you get in touch and we will be honest about the timescale. A lot of family-machine faults, a failing hard drive, a bad update, a machine choked with junk, can be turned around without the computer disappearing for a week. If it is going to take longer we will say so up front, and the first job is usually making sure everyone's files and photos are safe before anything else.
My desktop is a few years old and has got painfully slow. Is it worth fixing or should I just buy a new one?
Often it is worth fixing, and far cheaper than replacing. A machine that has slowed to a crawl is frequently a tired old hard drive rather than a computer at the end of its life, and swapping it for an SSD can make an older desktop feel new again. We will look, tell you plainly whether it is worth the money, and if it genuinely is not worth saving we will say so.
I am not confident with computers. Will you explain it in plain English?
Yes, and we would rather you understood exactly what is wrong and what we are proposing than nodded along to jargon. We name the fault, tell you the fix, and give you the price before any work starts, and if anything does not make sense you can ask and we will go over it again. No pressure and no talking down to you.
Do you actually come out to the terraced streets, or do I have to bring it somewhere?
We come to you. Beeston is inside the area we cover, and there is no shop to bring anything to in the first place. We work around parking and around your day rather than a counter's opening hours, and if a repair needs longer on the bench we will collect the machine and bring it back when it is done.
Someone in the house clicked something they should not have and now the computer is full of pop-ups. Can you clean it up?
Yes. Virus and malware clean-ups are one of the most common jobs we do on family machines, and it is easily done. We will get rid of the infection, check nothing has been left behind, and make sure the machine is safe to log back into your bank and email. As always advice by message is free and the quote comes before the work.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the fault and on your exact model, so we will not quote a number before we have looked. Advice by message is free, then you get one fixed quote before any work starts, and if we cannot fix it you pay nothing for the repair. How we price, and why there is no tariff, is set out on our prices page.

- Your laptop will not turn on. Can you still get your files off it? A laptop that is completely dead usually still has your files intact. Why the drive is normally the survivor, what makes recovery harder, and the one thing not to do while you decide.
- The warning signs your hard drive is failing, and what to do about it Strange noises, sudden slowdowns, files that vanish: the early warnings of a failing hard drive, the first thing to do, and the mistakes that make it worse.
- Slow computer? What actually speeds it up, and what does not Why a computer feels slow, the free things worth trying first, the one upgrade that genuinely transforms an old machine, and the myths that change nothing.
