Computer help in Hornchurch.
Hornchurch is on the District line and covers a wide residential spread. I do a lot of home visits here, and an unusual amount of teaching — people who want to actually understand the machine rather than just have it handed back working.
Around twenty minutes door to door. I come to you, you drop it in, or I collect and return — whichever suits.
What Hornchurch houses are like to work in.
Mostly interwar and post-war semis and detached houses on generous plots. Deep floorplans are the recurring theme: the router is at one end and the study is at the other, and no amount of shouting at it helps. This is mesh territory more often than anywhere else I cover.
What comes up most here
- Teaching sessions alongside the repair, so the same problem does not recur
- Mesh WiFi across deep floorplans where a single router was never going to cope
- Helping with the admin — forms, accounts and the things that go wrong online
The jobs I do most round here.
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
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

Asked a lot in Hornchurch.
Can you show me how to do it rather than just fixing it?
Gladly, and it is included in the new-PC setup. Ask the same question three times if you like — that is exactly what the time is for.
Why does my WiFi not reach the back of the house?
In a long Hornchurch semi, usually distance plus a couple of solid walls. One well-placed mesh point normally sorts it, and I will test every room before I go.
I also cover these.
