Computer and laptop repair in Roundhay
In a busy household a broken computer rarely stays one person's problem for long, because there is usually work, homework and a hundred saved photos riding on it. We fix computers and laptops for people across Roundhay in their own homes, so you do not have to unplug a study full of cables and drive it somewhere. Tell us what the machine is doing, we will find the fault properly, and you get one fixed quote before we touch a thing. If we cannot fix it, there is nothing to pay for the repair.

Roundhay
How we work here
Roundhay, LS8, is a green, spread-out residential part of north east Leeds, made up of family homes rather than passing-through flats. That tends to mean a house here has more than one computer in it: a machine or two in a home office, a laptop a teenager relies on for coursework and exams, a family desktop with years of photos on it, and often an older relative's computer that nobody else quite knows how to sort out. The bigger, more spread-out homes also throw up things the tighter parts of Leeds do not, like a broadband router in the hall that leaves the back bedroom or the garden office with barely any signal. We work around all of this by coming to the house, looking at the machines where they actually live, and dealing with whatever is in front of us rather than expecting you to bring any of it into town.
We come to you across Roundhay, at home or at your home-office desk, day or night, Sunday to Friday. Because a lot of the work here is on desktops, home offices and whole-house setups, we are happy to look at the machine where it sits rather than have you disconnect a tower, monitors and a nest of cables. If more than one computer needs attention we can look at them in the same visit, and if a repair needs longer on the bench we can collect it and bring it back set up the way you had it. There is no walk-in shop and no counter to queue at, and advice by message is free however the machine reaches us.

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
I work from home and cannot have my machine away for days. How do you handle that?
Tell us that when you get in touch and we plan the visit around it. A good number of faults we can diagnose and put right in one visit at your own desk, so you are never actually without the computer. If it genuinely needs longer on the bench we will say so up front, talk through keeping you working in the meantime, and be straight about timing rather than leaving you guessing.
The wi-fi is fine near the router but useless in the back bedroom. Can you look at that?
Yes, that is a common one in the larger houses around Roundhay. We will come and see where the signal actually drops off, tell you honestly whether it is the router, the layout of the house or something worth adding to fill the gaps, and quote before any work. We will not sell you kit you do not need, and if a simple change fixes it we will tell you that.
There is more than one computer in the house with problems. Can you look at them together?
Yes. If two or three machines need attention we can look at them in the same visit rather than making you book separately for each one. We will look at each one properly, tell you which are worth sorting and which are not, and give you one fixed quote covering the work before anything starts.
My elderly parent needs help with their computer but finds all this daunting. Can you help gently?
Of course. A real person comes and does the work, in plain language, at their own pace, with no jargon and no rush. We are happy to explain what is wrong and what we are doing as we go, and to set things up so the machine is simpler to use afterwards. Advice by message is free, so there is no risk in describing it to us first.
My desktop still does the job but it has slowed right down. Repair or replace?
Often repair, and we will tell you honestly which it is. A machine that has slowed over the years is very frequently a tired hard drive that a solid-state upgrade and a clean-up will bring back to life for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Sometimes a computer genuinely is not worth spending on, and if that is the case we will say so plainly rather than talk you into a repair.
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.
