Pricelist

Onsite jobs are charged by the hour (rates below), half hour minimum. All repair work is no-fix no-fee and no obligation. The only exception is for liquid spillages: Often liquid damage is so severe its not worth the cost of repairing however it still takes me ages to disassemble the machine, clean it up and see if there's any hope for it so, if it's had stuff spilled into it I'm afraid there's a £30 non-refundable deposit!

Hourly rates
Commercial Business	£ 45 / hr
Non-Profit & Charity	£ 35 / hr
Personal / Domestic	£ 25 / hr
Unwaged (e.g. NUS, OAP, JSA)	£ 18 / hr

Callout charges
Postcodes N16 & E5	£ Free!
Less than 3 miles	£ 10
3 to 6 miles	£ 20
Over 6 miles	£ 4 / mile

Callout charge is calculated from the distance from my place to yours by road (as opposed to as the crow flies) starting at N16 6LJ. I cycle to the vast majority of jobs so unless you live a very long way from me you needn't feel carbon guilty! ;-)

My hours are Midday til 10pm, Monday through Saturday and 2pm to 8pm on Sunday.
Out of hours emergency callouts are available but cost an extra £50.


Offsite jobs This covers jobs where you deliver your hardware to me and collect it afterwards. This tends to work out significantly cheaper than me visiting you especially for longwinded things. Please give me a call or drop me a message in the messagebox below if you want a quote, and/or my address.


Fixed Fee Deals. I also offer several services for a flat fee. Offsite jobs require the necessary materials delivering to (and collecting from) my address:

	Offsite	Onsite
Simple Virus / Malware removal If a virus infection can be vanquished in-situ i.e. without reinstalling the whole system you pay only £40.	£ 40	£ n/a
Computer securely wiped Machine wiped completely clean of all software and data using military grade data deletion software. Note: useful if you want to dispose of your PC safely.	£ 5	£ n/a
Vanilla windows install Your machine wiped clean and plain old windows reinstalled, all drivers and updates installed. This is useful if you want to give your computer away in full working order but with your personal data safely wiped off, or if somebody has given you a computer and you want to start with a clean sheet, or if you simply want a reinstall without paying for a back up you don't need.	£ 30	£ n/a
Economy Backup & Reinstall Full backup of all files, re-installation of Windows, all updates installed, free antivirus software and MS compatible Office Suite, all your files double scanned for viruses and other malware and then restored to a single folder, machine guaranteed virus free. Note: if you are comfortable moving files around and have time to reinstall all your applications then this is a good option. Also note: this is the service most local shops charge over £60 for!	£ 55	£ 100
Domestic Backup & Reinstall As economy reinstall PLUS: free collection/delivery for laptops within N16/E5, all files put back where they were, all un-neccesary pre-installed software cleaned off, disk optimised for quick startup, internet favourites/bookmarks restored, i-tunes restored, free top quality media player, CD/DVD burning, photo management and utility software. Note: this is the option to go for if you want everything setup as close as possible to the way it was before.	£ 85	£ 140
Business Backup & Reinstall As domestic reinstall PLUS: free collect/delivery for laptops AND desktops in N16/E5 (normal callout charge applies outside this area), priority turnaround, casing thoroughly stripped and cleaned, thorough testing of your memory and hard disk drives, full onsite reinstallation including reconnection and resinstallation of your printers, scanners, specialist software and reconnection to your domain if needed. Note: This is the one to choose for business critical computers of if time is short.	£ 140	£ 175
Laptop Cleanout Your laptop fully stripped down, thoroughtly cleaned out and regreased with top quality thermal grease. This is often the only good solution to overheating problems.	£ 40	£ 70
Laptop power socket replacement If the socket your power cable plugs into is faulty or broken your laptop can quickly become a very expensive brick. This fix can take up to 10 days however you are welcome to borrow a free courtesy laptop fr the duration (subject to availability)	£ 95	£ n/a
Laptop Screen replacement Replacement LCD laptop screens cost anywhere between £50 and £100 depending on the size you need, they're much of a muchness to fit though so I charge a flat fee to fit them.	£ 40 + part	£ 65 + part
Hard drive upgrade Running out of space? Many people solve this problem by getting an external hard drive but wouldn't it be nicer to just quadruple the size of your C drive and not have to worry about the cables? Internal drives are also considerably faster than external ones, i-Tunes doesn't take kindly to being moved between disks and, sadly, I've lost count of the number of people who've lost all their files when they (or their kids / pets / spouses)tripped over the wire and sent their external drive crashing to the floor! New internal drives themselves are cheaper than the external variety, they cost anywhere between £60 and £130 depending on the capacity and speed you want and, like the screens, they're much of a muchness to fit so I charge a flat fee to fit them.	£ 40 + part	£ 65 + part
VHS to DVD/Digital transfer Tape degrades over time so if you have anything important on tape still it would be a good idea to get it into a digital format ASAP.	£ 20	£ n/a
Vinyl / Tape to CD Likewise you may want to have your old tape and vinyl records digitized for posterity, or just so you can listen to them on your ipod	£ 10	£ n/a
Scanning (per scan)	£ 0.50	£ n/a
Reinstalls assume you have recovery/rescue disks or a recovery partition, if not (and I don't have an appropriate set of disks for your machine) it may cost extra to obtain these.

Also I scrap old laptops and I will also trade you work for your surplus equipment if it's anything I have a use for. Message me below with your contact details and what you have and I'll let you know how much cash or labour I can offer you in exchange.
