Horsforth
How we work here
Horsforth, LS18, sits out to the north west of the city and it is a settled, suburban part of Leeds: family homes people own rather than rent, spare rooms turned into home offices, and a run of independent shops and small businesses along and around Town Street. That mix means we see a wider spread of machines here than in the student parts of the city, family desktops and all-in-ones as often as laptops, a child's school Chromebook or laptop, the older PC a parent still relies on, and the one computer a small business keeps its bookings and accounts on. Most homes here have a drive or a bit of parking, so coming to the door is straightforward, and if a repair needs longer on the bench we can take the machine away and bring it back rather than leaving you without it and without a plan.
We come to you in Horsforth, at home or at your business, day or night, Sunday to Friday. A lot of jobs here are sorted in the one visit at the kitchen table or on the desk where the machine already lives, which also means the Wi-Fi and the printer are right there to check while we are at it. If the fault means the machine needs longer on the bench, we can collect it and return it once it is done. There is no walk-in shop and no counter to queue at, and the free advice by message stands whichever way we get to 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
It is a desktop tower, not a laptop. Do you still come to the house?
Yes. A lot of Horsforth homes run a proper desktop or an all-in-one, and we would rather look at it where it lives than have you unplug every cable and load it into the car. We come to you, find the fault properly, and quote before any work. If it turns out to be quicker fixed on the bench, we can take just the tower and bring it back set up as it was.
My child needs their laptop for school this week. Can you help fast?
Tell us the deadline when you get in touch and we will be honest about whether we can hit it. If it can be sorted in time we will say so, and if it cannot we will tell you straight rather than take the job and let a homework deadline slip. Where it is a school Chromebook or laptop, the first job is usually making sure their work and logins are safe before anything else.
I run a small business from home in Horsforth. Can you look at it out of hours?
We work day and night, Sunday to Friday, and we will fit around a working day where we can, including calling in before you open or once the shop is quiet. If the machine holds your bookings, accounts or till, we treat getting your data safe as the first priority, then quote a fixed price before any work so there is no surprise bill.
The computer is fine but the Wi-Fi will not reach upstairs. Is that something you do?
Yes. Since we come to the house anyway, we are happy to look at the whole picture, the computer, a home network that drops in the back bedroom, a printer that has stopped talking to the PC. We will tell you honestly what is worth changing and what is not, and quote before we do anything.
The machine is quite old. Will you just tell me to buy a new one?
Not unless it is genuinely the honest answer. Plenty of older machines in Horsforth come back to life with a new drive, a bit more memory or a proper clean-up, and that is far cheaper than replacing everything. If it truly is not worth fixing we will tell you that plainly, rather than sell you a repair that does not make sense.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the fault and on your exact model, so we will not put a number on it 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.
