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, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm. 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 diagnosis stands whichever way we get to the machine.

Computer upgrades and speed-ups
An SSD, more memory, and a proper clean-up can make an old machine feel new. We measure what is actually holding yours back before you spend anything.
Virus and malware removal
Pop-ups, fake warnings, a hijacked browser, or a ransom note? We find out what is genuinely on there, clean it safely, and leave your files where they are.
Data recovery
Deleted files, a failing drive, or a laptop that will not start. We tell you what can honestly be recovered before you spend anything, and what cannot.
Tech support and setup
New machine to set up, email that will not connect, a printer that will not print? A real person who will sort it and show you how it works.
Remote tech support
Some faults do not need us at the door. We connect over a secure link, with your say-so, and fix it while you watch, often the same hour. Free look first.
Small business IT support
A machine down, email stuck, Wi-Fi dropping, or a new starter with nothing to work on? We come to your premises, fix it, and quote before we touch anything.
TV & smart TV help
No picture, no power, no sound, or a smart TV that will not set up? We fault-find for free and tell you straight whether it is worth fixing.
Gaming PC repair & builds
Will not post, overheating, crashing under load, or a GPU acting up? We find the real fault for free, and we build honest custom machines to a brief.
Slow computer speed-up
Takes an age to start, spinning wheel at everything, freezing up? We measure what is actually slowing it before you spend a penny, then say what a fix will really achieve.
Liquid & water damage
A spill on a laptop or keyboard? Get it off power now and ring us. This is the one repair nobody can promise, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Electricals & appliances
Small plug-in electricals and the smart, connected side of modern appliances. We fault-find honestly, fix what is worth fixing, and say plainly when it needs a registered trade.
Wi-Fi & home network
Dead spots, drops out, slow in one room? We measure where the signal actually goes, sort the router and the setup, and say honestly when a room needs more kit.
Printer setup & fixes
Offline, will not connect, will not print, or scanning has stopped? We get the printer talking to every device that needs it, where you actually use it.
Email help & setup
Email stopped sending or arriving, a new phone that will not connect, or a mailbox that is full? We sort it across every device you read it on.
New computer setup & data transfer
A new PC or laptop to set up and everything to move off the old one? We carry your files, photos, email and bookmarks across and strip the bloatware.
Smart home & device setup
Alexa, Google, smart bulbs and plugs, cameras and video doorbells, all onto the wifi, into the apps and working together, set up properly the first time.
Password & account recovery
Locked out of Windows, your Mac, your email or an account? We help you prove it is yours and get you back in safely, the proper way.
Business on-site callout
A machine down, wifi dropping, email stuck, or a new starter to set up? We come to your premises, sort it, and quote before we touch anything. No contract.

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, diagnose it for free, 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 call 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 Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm, 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, at no charge, 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. The diagnosis is free, then you get one fixed quote before any work starts, and if we cannot fix it you pay nothing.
