The Problem

losing productive hours to frustrating IT problems, slow computers, and inefficient software.

What I Do

reliable, on-call IT support to keep your office systems running smoothly, so you can focus on your actual job.

The Polegate Context

Polegate's position as a railway junction makes it a natural base for trades serving across East Sussex. Your business depends on being available for work, not on wrestling with slow computers or unreliable systems. I provide IT retainer support for Polegate-based trades: regular maintenance keeps systems current, backups run automatically, and you have a named tech contact for urgent issues. I cover Polegate and the wider Eastbourne district work area.

Your Questions, Answered

Can a retainer cover work across Polegate, Hailsham, and Pevensey?

Yes. One retainer covers your entire East Sussex working territory. Whether you're based in Polegate but working across Hailsham, Pevensey, and the surrounding villages, you have the same IT support throughout. No postcode restrictions, no area-based charges, just one predictable monthly fee.

What response time can I expect?

Priority clients get a quick turnaround for anything that's stopping you working. Rather than publish a rigid SLA that doesn't fit every situation, I set clear expectations as part of the retainer: urgent issues get triaged first, and you'll always know where you stand.

Can you help with network, Wi-Fi, and office tech beyond computers?

Yes: routers, printers, VoIP phones, cloud backups, shared drives, password managers. If it's business tech and it's misbehaving, I can sort it.

Can I cancel if I don't need it?

Yes. Retainers are month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No long-term lock-in.

What does an IT support retainer include?

Website maintenance and updates, SEO monitoring, email support, and on-call assistance for computer issues, all for a fixed monthly fee.

How Many Leads Is Your Website Losing You?

Most trades websites quietly leak leads every week: slow load, buried phone number, missing local pages. Answer 10 quick questions and I'll show you exactly where yours is bleeding, how many enquiries it could be costing you each month, and the three fixes that would make the biggest difference.
