Helping you take the stress out of tech.

Home Planet Tech provides friendly home tech support, coaching and tuition that helps people understand their technology, feel more confident using it, and enjoy getting the very best from the devices they already own.

Based in Reading, Berkshire, I provide friendly home visits throughout Reading and the surrounding areas, bringing patient, jargon-free tech support and tuition straight to your door.

Whether you're dealing with a frustrating technical problem or simply want to feel more confident using your devices, I'm here to help in a relaxed, friendly environment with clear explanations and no confusing jargon.

  • Troubleshooting & Technical Support
    From slow computers and troublesome printers to smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi, smart home devices, email issues and much more, I can help diagnose problems, get things working again and keep your technology running smoothly.

  • Personal Coaching & Tuition
    Want to learn something specific? I also offer tailored one-to-one coaching sessions where we can focus entirely on the things you'd like to understand better, whether that's organising photos, mastering your iPhone or iPad, learning new apps, staying safer online, or simply becoming more confident with everyday technology.

The best place to start is by making a small list of the things you'd like help with, whether they're problems you'd like fixing or skills you'd like to learn. Then simply get in touch for a free, no-obligation chat. We can talk through what you'd like to achieve, answer any questions you have, and work out the best way to help you get the most from your technology.

Fix. Learn. Enjoy.

Every Visit Is Tailored to You

No two customers are the same, and neither are their goals. You might have a frustrating problem that needs fixing, a new device you'd like help setting up, or simply want to build your confidence and learn something new. Whatever brings us together, every home visit is tailored to your needs and your pace.

The example time slots below are simply a guide to help you estimate how much we can usually achieve during a home visit. Some tasks can be completed quickly, while others may take a little longer depending on the device, the complexity of the issue, or how much you'd like to cover together.

If you're not sure how long to book for, don't worry. The best place to start is by making a small list of the things you'd like help with, then get in touch for a free, no-obligation chat.
