The Problem

a critical computer failure, slow performance, or a virus that has stopped your business in its tracks.

What I Do

an emergency PC and laptop repair service to get your essential hardware back up and running fast.

Why Polegate Businesses Choose Local Support

Polegate's identity as a rail junction town means residents often commute to London, Eastbourne, or other East Sussex towns, many working remotely from home. A functioning computer is essential for earning a living. The town's 20th-century residential stock—rows of semis and detached homes—all contain households dependent on reliable PCs. When your machine fails, you need same-day local repair without courier delays. I fix computers in BN26, handling on-site repairs so you're back online within hours.

Straight Answers to Common Questions

I'm working from home in a 1970s house with heating and power issues. Can my computer cope?

Yes, but you need to protect it. A good surge protector guards against power spikes—common in older houses. Ensure your desk area has proper ventilation so your machine doesn't overheat. A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) gives you time to save work if the power cuts briefly. I can advise on all of these.

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.

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 sell new computers as well as fix old ones?

I don't sell hardware directly, but I advise on the right spec for your needs and can source and configure it for you. You pay the supplier directly; I just charge for the setup and data migration.

Investment

Pricing depends on scope and your current setup. I'll give you a straight quote after a free initial call, no obligation, no pressure.

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.
