Questions
About slow computer repair
Does a slow computer always need replacement parts?
No. Some slowdowns can be improved through software, storage or update work. If a part may help, it is quoted separately and fitted only after approval.
How much is a slow-computer home visit?
The service price is £45 and every home visit has a £40 call-out fee. The applicable total is explained before booking.
Can you help if the computer freezes only sometimes?
Yes. Explain what you are doing when it freezes and any message shown. Intermittent faults can be harder to reproduce, so no repair result is promised before assessment.
