Running slow? Upgrade to an SSD

Replacing an old hard drive with a solid-state drive is one of the best-value upgrades you can make. Faster start-up, faster apps, and a longer life for your computer.

Hardware upgrades

Memory (RAM), storage and other component upgrades to get more life out of the machine you already own.

Windows and software reinstalls

Operating system and software installation and support, including clean reinstalls for computers that have become unreliable.

Virus and malware removal

Infections cleaned up, pop-ups and unwanted software removed, and protection put in place.

Data recovery

Lost files, a computer that won't start or an accidentally erased drive? We'll do our best to get your data back.

New device setup

New PCs and laptops set up, software installed, and your files and settings moved across from the old one.

For businesses

More than a one-off fix?

If computer problems keep coming back across your team, it's usually a sign that something bigger needs attention: ageing hardware, missing updates or no central management.

Our IT support keeps every device in your business healthy, and Microsoft 365 Business Premium can manage and protect your devices centrally with Intune and Defender.

We are a small business who was seeking to automate our data collection from multiple markets and global sales each month to save time and resources by using Power BI. But we didn't have internal knowledge of Power BI and our data sources were PDFs, Xcels and were varied.
I cannot speak highly enough of Ryan who executed this project.
He is highly skilled in Power BI, highly professional, methodical, communicative and patient.
He mapped all our data inputs, created an automated intuitive Power BI system to save our monthly sales into a folder, and now this automatically generates an updated dashboard view each month. This used to take half to a full day, and now takes 20 minutes.
As the GM of a small company, this is already giving us much deeper insights and actionable data - all by simply saving input files into a folder. It has been a very worthwhile decision.

We’ve been working with Ryan from Smith Technology on the Tyre General website, and his technical expertise has been exceptional. He’s played a major role in developing and streamlining our product pages, transforming thousands of variable tyre listings into a structured, user-friendly, and high-performing format.
Ryan handled everything from cleansing and organising large product data sets to building dynamic templates that automatically pull through specifications, imagery, and key SEO elements. He’s also optimised back-end code and improved page load speeds, ensuring our customers can easily browse by vehicle type, brand, or category. Beyond the front-end experience, Ryan built custom forms and automated data workflows that make updating and managing our catalogue incredibly efficient. His ability to combine technical precision with a strong understanding of our business needs has been invaluable.
Highly recommend Ryan, Lara and the Smith Technology team, they’ve made a complex project feel seamless and delivered results that genuinely elevate our online presence.

FAQ

Computer repair questions

My computer is really slow. Is it worth fixing?

Often, yes. If your computer still has a traditional hard drive (HDD), replacing it with a solid-state drive (SSD) is one of the most cost-effective upgrades available and can make an older machine feel new. We'll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you recover files from a broken computer or drive?

In many cases, yes. We can often recover data from computers that won't start or drives that have been accidentally erased. Physically damaged drives may need a specialist lab, and we'll tell you up front if that's the case.

Can you set up a new computer and move my files across?

Yes. We set up new PCs and laptops, install your software, move your files and settings from the old device, and make sure everything is working before you start using it.

Do you remove viruses and malware?

Yes. We remove viruses and malware, check for anything left behind, and make sure up-to-date protection is in place to reduce the chance of it happening again.
