How booking works

  1. Message first: Send a WhatsApp or email with the issue.
  2. Include basics: Town, device type, and a short description.
  3. I reply clearly: I confirm whether I can help, likely timing, and the hourly rate.
  4. Visit or support: We agree a time and get the issue sorted.

Before I arrive

  • Keep the device ready: Powered on if possible.
  • Have WiFi details nearby: Name and password if internet is involved.
  • Write down the main issue: Even a short note helps.
  • Keep important cables or boxes nearby: Printers, routers, chargers or new devices.
  • Think about what changed: New broadband, a password reset, a moved cable, or a recent update can all help explain the issue.
  • Passwords can stay private: You can type them in yourself if you prefer.

Common problems I help with

  • “My printer won’t connect.”
  • “The WiFi is poor in part of the house.”
  • “My laptop is really slow.”
  • “I’ve forgotten a password.”
  • “I just need someone to set it up properly.”

  • Honest answers: I’ll tell you if something is not worth fixing.
  • Practical support: Focused on solving the real issue.
  • No pressure: You stay in control of the decision.

Privacy promise

  • Only what’s needed: I access only the relevant settings or issue.
  • You can enter passwords: No need to share them if you prefer not to.
  • No unnecessary browsing: I’m there to fix the problem, not look through your files.
  • Visible support: You can stay with the device while work is carried out.

Frequently asked questions

Some jobs are quick, others take longer. I’ll give a realistic idea before starting when possible.

I’ll be clear with you as the job develops so you can decide whether to continue.

Yes — I can suggest practical options based on what you actually need.
