The laptop dies the day before a big quote
We can often recover files and get you a working machine fast. Having a recent backup would have helped, and we can set one up after.
If you run quotes, invoices and photos of the job off a laptop and a phone, a dead device costs you real money by lunchtime. We aim to get you back to work quickly.
Plenty of Beckenham households run a small business out of the back room or the garage. Electrician, landscaper, bookkeeper, mobile mechanic. The laptop holds the invoices, the phone holds the customer list, and neither is allowed to fail on a Monday morning.
We work around that. If your job is to be on site from seven, we can talk about an early or late slot, or we can look at the machine remotely first so that the visit is quicker.
Our business IT support page covers what we do for larger teams. For one-person operations the approach is simpler: keep your devices running, your files safe and your email working, without selling you anything you do not need.

None of these are exotic. All of them cost time if left alone.
We can often recover files and get you a working machine fast. Having a recent backup would have helped, and we can set one up after.
We help you set up a simple folder system and automatic sync so job photos land somewhere you can find them.
Usually a password change, a full mailbox or a setting that got reset. We track it down and fix it.
Sometimes the program, sometimes the computer behind it. We check both before suggesting anything costly.
Kids' games and customer invoices on one machine is a risk. We can split accounts and add protection.
Scams aimed at small businesses are rising. We check your device and talk through how to stay safer.
The fewer back-and-forths, the sooner you are earning again.
Tell us what the device is doing and what you cannot do without. That decides how we approach it.
We repair on the spot when we can. If it has to come to the workshop, we talk about what you can use in the meantime.
Before we finish, you open the program or file you actually use. If it works for you, it is fixed.
The things trade and service businesses ask for most.
Screens, batteries, drives and slow machines. If replacing makes more sense, we say so.
Automatic backups to the cloud or a drive, plus help getting files back if something goes wrong. See backup and transfer.
Business email on all your devices with sensible security. More on managed IT services.
Invoice printers, label printers and phones tethered to laptops, all set up to work together.

Everyone remembers to think about the laptop. Fewer people think about the phone, but for many trades the phone holds the job photos, the customer messages and sometimes the only copy of a quote.
Turn on automatic photo backup and check it is actually running. It takes five minutes and saves a bad week if the phone is dropped, lost or left on a roof.
If you would rather have someone sit with you while you do it, we are happy to. It is a normal part of what we do.
We charge for time worked. Home and business jobs have separate rates, and both are quoted before we start.
