If you do not wish the technician to work beyond an hour please inform them before the hour is up (e.g. after 45 minutes) this will give them time to try and get your PC into the best state they can. Please bear in mind that the technician is not responsible for repairing your computer if you do not wish them to continue. The no fix no fee does not apply if the technician is stopped or restricted in any way from repairing the computer.
Generally speaking customers contact us; we purchase the hardware sometimes at a lower price and then arrange a time to install it at your convenience. You are more than welcome to buy the parts yourself and then contact us to send a technician to install them for you.
We charge per hour. However the technicians will use their discretion if the job just goes a little over a hour.

You should ensure that ALL software disks you have are available to the technician when he arrives including your Operating System disks, driver disks and other disks that came when you purchased the PC. This cuts out the time taken to find drivers and disks and allows the technician to focus his time on your problem. If you have no software disks for your computer please inform us when you contact us along with the make and model of you computer if possible. This helps us to get copies of these disks before we arrive to offer you a better, quicker service.
Any software we purchase on your behalf or install on your computer will always be genuine. We WILL NOT install pirated software on any computer under any circumstances. All software purchased and installed by us on your behalf is owned by you.

There will be no charge for this as long as the computer is in warranty.
