How to start

From the first message to the visit.

Book online, ask us to ring you, or get a quote. Tell us what popped up, what was clicked, or what feels off. We lock a visit, then we come to you.

  1. Choosing how to book a visit 01

    You pick how

    Book online, ask us to ring you, or get a quote by email.

  2. Telling us what is going on 02

    You tell us what is going on

    In the booking, on the call, or in the quote. Same idea.

  3. Seeing the price and locking a visit date 03

    We lock the visit

    You see the price. If you agree, we lock a date that suits.

  4. Coming to your workplace for the visit 04

    We come to you

    That is the visit. We work through the scare on the day.

How a visit works

Once we are there.

We look at the devices and accounts properly, work through the list, and we often leave you safer in the same visit.

  1. Arriving at the workplace 01

    We arrive

    We come to the workplace. You stay with the team.

  2. Looking into what is happening 02

    We look into it

    We look into it properly - not a guess from a screenshot alone.

  3. Working through the job list together 03

    We work through your list

    The pop-up, the inbox, the login. We work that list with you.

  4. Wrapping up the visit 04

    We wrap it up

    Often done the same visit. Extra work quoted first. Honest if replacing is the better call.
