Computer help in Ardleigh Green.
Ardleigh Green sits between Hornchurch and Gidea Park. Almost entirely residential, and almost entirely home visits — setups, upgrades and getting the WiFi to reach the whole house rather than most of it.
Fifteen to twenty minutes. I come to you, you drop it in, or I collect and return — whichever suits.
What Ardleigh Green houses are like to work in.
Settled suburban streets of interwar and post-war housing, generally well kept and generally deeper than they look from the front. The back of the house is usually where the signal gives up, and usually where somebody wants to work.
What comes up most here
- Getting a usable signal into the back room or loft conversion
- Upgrades to keep a decent machine going rather than replacing it
- Setting up a new computer and teaching it properly
The jobs I do most round here.
WiFi & network sorted
For WiFi that drops out or will not reach the back of the house.
- Finding out where the signal actually fails rather than guessing
- Telling apart the three different problems: weak signal, congestion, and a slow line
- Repositioning, mesh units or wiring — whichever the house actually needs
Speed up my PC
For machines that take five minutes to think about opening a browser.
- Finding out which of the three usual culprits it actually is: the drive, the startup load, or genuinely not enough memory
- Clearing what is starting up in the background that should not be
- A health check on the drive, because "slow" is often "failing"
New PC home setup + teaching
New computer set up properly, and shown to you properly.
- Everything moved across: files, photos, email, printers, bookmarks and passwords
- The pre-installed rubbish removed and the machine set up the way you want it
- An hour sitting with you going through it, at your pace

Asked a lot in Ardleigh Green.
The signal dies in the loft conversion. Any fix?
Yes — loft rooms are a common blind spot because the signal has to travel up through floors as well as along. A mesh point on the landing usually solves it, and I test it up there before I call it done.
Do you take the old machine away?
If you want me to. Everything comes across first and I wipe it properly before it goes anywhere.
I also cover these.
In Ardleigh Green and stuck?
