Computer repairs near Ashford — FAQs

Is it worth driving from Ashford to Tenterden for a computer repair?

For complicated diagnostic work, data recovery, or jobs where you want straight advice rather than a chain-store sales pitch, many Ashford customers tell us it is. For very small jobs we may be able to advise over the phone before you make the trip.

Do you charge to diagnose the fault?

We do not charge to look at a device and tell you what is wrong — only to carry out the repair once you have agreed to it.

Can you help recover data from a drive that is making a clicking noise?

A clicking drive is usually a sign of mechanical failure. Stop using it as soon as possible. Bring it in or call us — we can advise on the realistic chance of recovery and what it would involve.

Do you offer remote support if I cannot travel?

For some software-only problems we can sometimes help by phone or remote session. Hardware faults and most repair work need the device in our hands. Call us to see if your particular problem is something we can handle remotely.

Do you also work on Apple Macs?

Yes — MacBooks and iMacs are welcome, alongside Windows PCs and laptops.
