PC Scientist · Petersham

Petersham IT support and computer repair for faults that keep returning

Third time this month the back room of the Petersham terrace has lost Wi-Fi, and your printer dropped off with it. Your computer feels slower than last year, and its email no longer matches what shows on the phone.

We visit Petersham to find the real cause instead of patching the symptom again, and fix software problems remotely when that is all it needs. Give us a call, or ask for a call back at a time that suits.

FAQ

Questions we hear in Petersham

A slowdown that returns usually has a cause sitting underneath it - a drive starting to fail, too little memory, startup programs piling up, or a sync tool fighting with email. We test the hardware, look at what launches on boot and check the mail setup, then fix the root of it. The price is agreed with you before work starts.

Some home tech problems can be looked at over a screen share first. If that does not settle it, we book a visit.

If you are not comfortable with remote access, a visit in Petersham is always an option.

Small jobs like getting back into an account are often what makes the day easier, and we would rather sort them properly.

You leave knowing what changed and what to try if Wi-Fi that fades in the back rooms happens again.

Households, seniors, remote workers, and small teams. Portuguese cafes and small shops are a good example of the places we visit most.

When home and work share the same gear in Petersham, one visit can cover both.

Nothing extra starts unless you agree. Nothing is added for work you did not approve in Petersham.
