Computer help in Rush Green.
Rush Green sits between Romford and Dagenham and is easy for me to reach. Mostly straightforward home visits — slow machines, clean-ups, and getting backups running properly before anything goes wrong.
Fifteen minutes or so. I come to you, you drop it in, or I collect and return — whichever suits.
What Rush Green houses are like to work in.
Suburban housing between two larger centres, with a hospital and college nearby that bring a steady student and shift-worker population. That shows up as laptops doing heavy duty on irregular hours, and machines that need to be reliable rather than impressive.
What comes up most here
- Laptops working hard on irregular hours that have started to struggle
- Clean-ups and tune-ups that buy a machine another couple of years
- Backups set up so coursework and documents are never one failure from gone
The jobs I do most round here.
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"
Virus scan + total backup
Clean the machine, and get your files somewhere safe.
- A full clean of viruses, malware and the browser hijackers that reinstall themselves in every browser
- Your files backed up as part of the job, not offered as an extra
- Ongoing backup set up so it keeps running without you remembering
Screens, batteries & parts fitted
Cracked screens, dying batteries, worn-out parts replaced.
- Sourcing the right part for the machine you actually have, including older kit
- The part priced and agreed before I order anything
- Fitting, and testing that everything else still works afterwards

Asked a lot in Rush Green.
Can you turn a repair round quickly? I need it for work.
Usually same day or next day, and I will tell you honestly at the start if it is going to be longer. If you need something in the meantime, say so — that changes what I recommend.
Is it worth putting an SSD in an older laptop?
Very often the single best money you can spend on an ageing machine. It is a part plus fitting, and it makes far more difference than most people expect.
In Rush Green and stuck?
Fifteen minutes or so. Tell me what it's doing and I'll tell you what it needs — before anything is booked.
