How long do repairs normally take?

Most standard hardware repairs and thermal services are completed within 1 to 3 working days. If we need to order a highly specific proprietary part (like a niche laptop screen), we will give you an exact ETA before we begin.

How does the Free Collection work?

If you are located in Wickford, Basildon, Rayleigh, or Billericay, we can arrange a secure doorstep pickup. We collect the machine, diagnose it on our bench, and drop it back off to you once the repair is complete.

Is my data safe with you?

Absolutely. We operate under strict data privacy protocols. We do not browse your personal files, and if a repair requires wiping a drive, we will explicitly ask for your permission and offer a full data backup beforehand.

What if you can't fix it?

Then you don't pay. Our No-Fix-No-Fee promise means that if your motherboard is completely dead or the repair simply isn't economically viable for you, we will hand the machine back without charging you a penny for the labor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a laptop screen replacement cost?

Our expert fitting labour starts at £50. The total repair price is this labour fee plus the exact cost of the replacement display panel required for your specific model configuration. We always provide a clear, fixed quote before ordering any parts.

My laptop refuses to charge — can it be fixed?

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. This issue is typically caused by a degraded external power brick, an aging internal battery cell, or a physically damaged internal DC charging port connector. We will isolate the exact failure point during our free diagnostic scan.

Can you recover files if my laptop won't turn on?

Absolutely. Your operating system and files sit securely inside your internal hard drive or NVMe storage drive. Even if the main motherboard is completely dead, we can extract your family documents and photos safely from £55 and migrate them over to an external drive.
