Computer technician at work
/ How it works

In, fixed, out.
No drama.

The plan is simple. You drop the kit off (or we collect it), we tell you what's up and what it'll cost, then we fix it. No hourly meters, no surprise add-ons, no “we'll have to send it away for two weeks”.

Most jobs are done same-day in our Pilgrim Street workshop. Business clients get a four-hour SLA across Tyne & Wear. Emergencies, evenings and weekends — we cover those too.

Step 01
Drop it off or call out

Walk into the workshop, or book an on-site visit across Tyne & Wear.

Step 02
Free diagnosis

We find the fault and ring you with a fixed price before any work starts.

Step 03
Fix & return

Most repairs same day. Tested, cleaned, 90-day warranty on every job.

/ Common Problems

Sound familiar?
We see it every week.

01
Slow laptop

Takes 20 minutes to boot? Usually a tired hard drive or clogged Windows. Most sorted same day.

02
Cracked Mac screen

MacBook Air & Pro screens, hinges, keyboards. Apple-certified parts where we can.

03
Virus or pop-ups

Strange browser windows, dodgy 'support' calls, locked files. Full clean, fresh defences.

04
Lost files

Photos, accounts, dissertations. Switch the drive off and ring us — time matters.

05
Wi-Fi doesn't reach

Patchy upstairs signal, dead spots in the back room. Mesh setups, no fancy upsells.

06
Email gone down

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, old POP3 accounts. Inbox back without losing a thing.

Business IT support

Our office network went down on the morning of a tax deadline. I rang Northern IT in a panic — they were here inside the hour, had us back up before lunch, and didn't charge a fortune for it. We've been on their monthly plan ever since.
