Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make my old office desktop fast again?
In roughly 90% of cases, yes. Swapping an old mechanical hard drive for a fast solid-state drive (SSD) and adding more RAM is the single most cost-effective way to extend the life of an older machine.
Do you build PCs from parts I have already bought?
Yes, absolutely. If you've sourced your own components but aren't confident handling the fragile CPU pins or complex cable routing, our flat assembly fee is £120—which includes full 24-hour stress testing.
Which parts of Wickford do you collect from?
Desktop towers are heavy and awkward to move. We offer completely free doorstep collection and return covering all of the SS11 and SS12 postcodes—including Shotgate, Runwell, Nevendon, and the Beauchamps neighbourhood.
Do you offer out-of-hours service?
We work around your schedule. With dedicated evening and weekend collection slots available, we are often available to help when the traditional high street is closed.
