Your friendly neighbourhood tech helper.

Here to help with all your tech needs.

Struggling with a slow computer, confusing settings, or gadgets that never seem to work the way they should? Or maybe you’ve bought something new that’s still in the box because getting it set up feels overwhelming?

I’m Tom — your local, friendly tech helper. With 18 years of experience providing tech support and training, I specialise in making technology simple, stress-free and actually enjoyable to use. Whether you need something fixed, explained, or set up from scratch, I’m here to make it easy.

Just jot down any issues or questions you’ve got, then book a time slot or give me a call. I’ll visit you at home anywhere in the greater Reading area and help you get your tech running smoothly.

Pricing

1 Hour - £35

Quick help for small tech problems.

Perfect for quick fixes, small jobs or a single issue you’d like sorted. I’ll visit your home and help with whatever tech problem you’re facing. This is the shortest appointment option, so even if we finish early, the full hour rate still applies.

2 Hours — £65 (save £5)

A comfortable amount of time for multiple tasks.

Ideal if you’ve got a couple of things you’d like help with, or if you want a bit of extra time to learn something new at a comfortable pace. I recommend jotting down a small list beforehand so we can make the most of the session and cover everything that’s important to you.

3 Hours — £90 (save £15)

Plenty of time for bigger jobs or a full tech refresh.

Best for larger jobs, full device setups, or a mix of teaching and troubleshooting in one visit. With three hours, we can work through your list without rushing and take the time to make sure you feel confident with everything before I leave.
