Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my personal data is safe when I hand over my laptop?
Your files stay on your machine throughout the repair. I don't transfer data to external storage or run diagnostics on other equipment. All work happens on your computer, either at your home in your presence or off-site by me personally, with your explicit permission. Repair only: no file access, complete privacy.
What if my computer can't be fixed?
If the hardware is beyond economic repair, I'll give you honest advice on the best replacement and can set up a new machine with all your data transferred.
Can you recover data from a computer that won't turn on?
Usually, yes: a dead computer doesn't mean dead data. The drive inside is often fine even when the machine itself is broken. I can pull the drive, recover what's on it, and put it on your new machine.
Do you do home or office call-outs?
Yes. I come to you anywhere across Sussex. No need to pack up your computer and drop it off somewhere.
How much does a PC repair typically cost?
I'll always give you a clear estimate before any work starts: no surprise bills and no jargon. What I charge depends on what's actually wrong (software issues are quicker than hardware failures) and whether it's a straightforward fix or something more involved. Message me with what's happening and I'll give you a straight answer on scope, timing, and cost before we commit to anything.
Investment
No fixed menus here: I price on what actually needs doing. The initial conversation is free and you'll get an honest quote, not a pitch.
