Desktop PC playing up? Windows acting strangely? Refusing to start? Bring your PC into our Tenterden shop for a proper diagnosis and clear, jargon-free advice.
We repair desktop PCs of all kinds — Dell, HP, Lenovo, custom builds and gaming PCs — running Windows 10 and Windows 11. These are the problems we see most often.
Power supply, motherboard, RAM, drive — any of these can cause a no-boot situation. We diagnose methodically rather than throwing parts at it.
Random crashes and blue-screen errors can be hardware (failing RAM or drive) or software (drivers, malware). We work out which it is before recommending a fix.
Slow PCs are usually fixable. Sometimes it is malware, sometimes the disk, sometimes the system has just become overloaded over the years. We diagnose the real cause and recommend the most cost-effective fix.
Dust build-up over years of use is the most common reason. A proper clean often makes a PC quieter and noticeably cooler, sometimes faster too.
Mechanical drives wear out. We can replace the drive with a fast SSD and migrate Windows and your files across — usually the single best upgrade you can give an older desktop.
RAM, SSDs, larger drives, graphics cards — we can advise on what would make the biggest difference for your specific use and your specific PC, then fit and configure it properly.
We tell you what is wrong and what each option will cost before any repair work begins. You decide whether to go ahead.
If a desktop PC is not worth repairing, we will tell you and explain why. We would rather lose the job than charge you for a fix that does not make sense.
Sometimes a small upgrade transforms an older PC. Sometimes a rebuild using existing parts saves a lot of money. We will lay out the options.
Simple software issues are often fixed the same day. Hardware repairs depend on parts availability — we will give a realistic timeframe before agreeing to the work.
Yes — we provide a warranty on our repair work and any parts we install. See our warranty page for details.
In many cases, yes. We have specialised tools and techniques to recover data from failed drives. The sooner you stop using a failing drive, the better the chance of recovery.
Yes — including diagnosing odd crashes, GPU and PSU issues, thermal problems, and upgrade advice.
We can advise on a sensible custom build, source the parts and build it for you, or refresh an existing PC with selected upgrades. Get in touch to discuss what you need.
