Patient computer help when technology gets in the way.

If your laptop is running slowly, your printer has stopped working, your Wi-Fi keeps dropping out, or an account warning looks worrying, I can visit homes across Fife and help get things working again.

How I help

Support for the tech problems that interrupt ordinary life.

The aim is simple: get things working, explain what happened, and leave you feeling a bit more confident than when I arrived.

Slow computers and laptops

Performance checks, updates, storage tidy-ups, and help getting an older machine usable again.

Wi-Fi, broadband, and printers

Help with weak signal, dropped connections, router setup, printer problems, and devices not talking to each other.

Email, accounts, and new devices

Email setup, password resets, account recovery, transferring to a new phone or laptop, and making sign-in less painful.

Scam awareness

Clear help with suspicious emails, texts, fake calls, popups, browser warnings, and what to ignore.

Security checkups

Multi-factor authentication, recovery options, password habits, updates, antivirus basics, and backup checks.

Patient help for relatives

Calm in-home explanations for older relatives who want to stay independent and safer online.

How it works

A quick call first, then a clear visit.

1

Tell me what is going wrong

A quick call or message helps work out whether a visit makes sense.

2

Agree the plan and price

You get a clear idea of likely cost before anything is booked.

3

Book a convenient visit

Evenings and weekends are usually best, with Falkirk available by arrangement.

Pricing

Clear before you book.

The standard rate is £80 per hour. For many jobs, a fixed price or maximum booking cost can be agreed after a short phone conversation.

No fix, no fee: if the problem cannot be resolved, you do not pay for the visit.

Questions

A few things people often ask first.

Do you repair broken screens or charging ports?

Physical repairs are best handled by a repair shop. I focus on setup, troubleshooting, accounts, security, and practical support.

Can you help older relatives avoid scams?

Yes. I can explain common warning signs, check account protection, and help set up safer habits without frightening anyone.

Which areas do you cover?

Fife is the main area, including Dunfermline, Rosyth, Inverkeithing, Cowdenbeath, Kirkcaldy and nearby towns. Falkirk may be possible by arrangement.

Can you help with Apple devices?

Yes, for setup, accounts, email, Wi-Fi, security, and everyday troubleshooting.

Contact

Tell me what is going wrong.

Use whichever route feels easiest. A short conversation usually comes first, then we can agree the next step and a sensible time.
