Chapel Allerton
How we work here
Chapel Allerton, LS7, is a settled residential part of north Leeds where families and working professionals live rather than a place people pass through for a term. That tends to mean the computers here have some age on them: a desktop in the corner that the whole family shares, a home-office setup a parent works from, a laptop the kids use for schoolwork, and years of photos and documents sitting on all of them. So the jobs that come up here lean towards machines that have slowed down over time, older hard drives starting to give up, and setups people cannot afford to lose the contents of. We work around that by coming to the house rather than expecting you to bring a tower and a monitor into town.
We come to you in Chapel Allerton, at home or wherever you work, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm. A lot of the work here is on desktops and home-office setups, so we are happy to look at the machine where it lives rather than have you disconnect a tower, a monitor and a tangle of cables. If a repair needs longer on the bench, we can collect the machine and return it once it is done, set back up the way you had it. There is no walk-in shop, and the diagnosis is free whichever way we reach the machine.

Questions
The things people ask
Our family computer has all our photos on it and I am worried about losing them. What should I do?
Stop using the machine if you think the drive is failing, because every extra hour of use can make recovery harder. Call us and we will look at it for free, and where the photos and documents matter the first job is almost always to get a safe copy of them off before anything else. If a drive is genuinely on the way out we will tell you honestly what the chances are before you spend anything.
I work from home and cannot be offline for days. How does that work?
Tell us that when you call and we will plan around it. Many faults we can diagnose and sort in one visit at your desk so you are not without the machine at all. If it genuinely needs longer on the bench, we can talk through getting you working in the meantime, and we will be straight about the timing rather than leaving you guessing.
My old desktop still works but it has got really slow. Is it worth fixing or should I just replace it?
That is one of the most common calls we get from this part of Leeds, and the honest answer depends on the machine. A slow computer is very often a tired hard drive that a solid-state upgrade and a clean-up will transform for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Sometimes it genuinely is not worth it, and if that is the case we will say so plainly at no charge rather than sell you a repair.
My child's laptop has slowed right down and they need it for school. Can you help?
Yes. A laptop that has filled up, slowed down or picked up something it should not have is a very ordinary fix. We will diagnose it for free, tell you whether it is a clean-up, an upgrade or a virus that is the cause, and give you a fixed quote before any work. Getting a school machine usable again quickly is usually straightforward.
I have bought a new computer. Can you set it up and move everything across?
Yes. Moving your files, photos, email and settings from an old machine to a new one, and getting the new one set up the way you want it, is work we do often. We can do it at your home in Chapel Allerton, or collect both machines and return them ready to use. You get a fixed quote before we start.
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. The diagnosis is free, then you get one fixed quote before any work starts, and if we cannot fix it you pay nothing.
