Data recovery for Rye customers

If your drive has failed or your computer will not start, please stop using it and call us. Continuing to power on a failing drive often makes the situation worse. We will give you a realistic view of what is and is not recoverable.

Virus and malware removal

Scam pop-ups, ransomware, browser hijacks, fake support pages — we clean the device properly and explain how to spot the same scam next time. No fear tactics, just clear advice.

SSD upgrades for slower computers

If your laptop or desktop is sluggish but otherwise sound, an SSD upgrade is usually the most cost-effective fix. We clone your existing drive so your programs and files are untouched.

Computer repairs near Rye — FAQs

Do you cover Rye and East Sussex too?

Yes — we are based in Tenterden, Kent, but plenty of our regular customers come over from Rye, Winchelsea, Rye Harbour and the surrounding villages.

Is it really worth driving from Rye for a computer repair?

For data recovery, fiddly diagnostic work, or repairs where you want straight talk rather than a sales pitch — many Rye customers say it is. For tiny problems we may be able to advise over the phone before you set off.

Can you fix MacBooks and iMacs as well as Windows machines?

Yes. Macs and Windows PCs are both welcome — same shop, same friendly service.

What should I do if my computer is making strange clicking or grinding noises?

Stop using it. Those sounds usually mean the hard drive is failing mechanically and the longer the drive runs, the worse the situation tends to get. Call us and we will advise.

Do you do home visits in Rye?

Our main service is workshop-based at our Tenterden shop, which is usually the most cost-effective option. Get in touch and we will let you know whether we can help with your particular situation.
