We are pleased that we can get people going again quickly (typically 1-3 days for issues not needing parts) – people are usually pleasantly surprised about how quickly we can fix your computer in Sheffield or even further away. Please bare in mind during busy periods work can take longer.
This is a rough guide to other prices, please ask at time of commissioning work and we can confirm price or prices will be as below or subject to change:
- We offer a free diagnosis and quote, and work on a no-fix, no-fee basis
- We get given an issue(s) for a machine and if we fix the problem(s) during the diagnosis/quote process for each machine the cost is listed below (if the machine is clearly a business machine prices below are +£10):
- £65 for a normal regular Windows machine;
- £75 for an Apple machines;
- £85 for an all-in-one Windows machine;
- £90 for non-Apple high-spec/high-end machines such as but not limited to: Alienware, Predator, HP Omen, Dell XPS, Microsoft Surfaces and Ultrabooks and other very hard to work with or expensive machines.
- If your computer is so dirty that it’s too dirty and not safe/right to work on so requires a good clean before it’s ok to work on we will do this before the free quote/diagnostic and the charge is £20 even if we can’t fix it.
- £35 for testing of equipment such as cables, chargers, headphones and then found to be working fine or just a power/charging issue.
- If you require the machine to be picked up before parts arrive there is a charge to assemble of £25 because obviously, we will have to do twice the working disassembling and reassembling the machine.
- Liquid damage repair: £95 for PCs or Apple machines, done on a no fix no fee basis. The price is for work to get the motherboard/logic board to work / boot and run and charge and work from battery – this does not include repair of damaged ports on the motherboard such as USB or headphone jacks which might not be repaired but still allow the machine to be used. Other parts such as keyboards often need replacing and parts for them and fitting will be extra – please be aware these parts may not work after fixing the motherboard.
- Resetting an iPad / fixing iPad disable, £70.
- Setup a new computer (software/OS).
- Software only windows and setup – if done at our base price is £70.
- Per hourly rate if required to on a callout (not recommended as the process often takes many hours to do it fully and a job we’re happy with)
- New build PC or PC component transplant, eg from an old case to a new case is £130.
- If we need to call or speak with a third party to sort your problem out, the time for doing this will be charged at our hourly rate if the problem is fix or not.
Generally, for pricing, we are flexible and offer both a per hour rate or fixed price, depending on what work is required and if it’s a drop off to us or a callout. We are always happy discuss prices first – just ask or otherwise assume customers are OK with our prices. We prefer to get more customers paying a fair amount than charge a lot to a few customers. Rarely, sometimes a job takes a long time due to our inefficiencies, but we don’t charge for things like that…fair prices. More customers have offered extra money or tips for our work, than complained about price – and we feel happy about this!
Of course, if new/replacement hardware is required this will be additional to the service charge, but please just ask and discuss / confirm options first as you like. You can provide the hardware, or we can source the parts ourselves. If a part needs to be ordered in it often arrives in 1-3 days* if ordered from the UK (* During Covid/lockdown/emergeny/holiday etc. times postal estimates are very much estimates and often take longer).
Per hour work if commissioned:Most work is done on a drop off and pick up later basis so we can sort out work for people asap. Appointments are OK though, just ask. We can usually get things done same/next day 0r within 24-48 hours (but often quicker). We offer a free diagnosis and work on a no-fix, no-fee basis – although if we fix the problem during the diagnosis and quote process that cost is £65 for regular PCs, or £80 for Apple machines.
