PhilI have been working with computers for over 35 years and having recently taken early retirement from running my own computer typesetting company I am in an ideal position to help individuals and small businesses to look after their computer equipment and keep it working like new.

Most of my working life has been involved in Computer Systems Administration and therefore I have gained a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of computer technology and more importantly why computers don't always behave themselves.

As a grandfather myself I understand the importance of keeping your children, and grandchildren, safe while they use your computer. Even if a child is just an occasional user of your computer it is essentail that they have their own login and that their login has parental controls set up to ensure that they are safe online.

I can offer a complete service including:

- hardware and system repairs

- installation of expansion cards, extra memory, printers and other devices

- virus removal & supply/installation of anti virus software

- removal of unused software that may be killing your speed

- family internet safety, safe searching and parental controls

- optimization of system settings

- small network design and installation

- installation of new software and guidance on usage

- training in any aspects of the use of computers, Smart TV, Smart Phones or other gadgets

- Windows, Apple Mac and Unix support

- Smart TV, iPads, Tablets, Smart Phones and other gadgets set up and explained.

Prices and terms of business

My charges are based on £40 per hour plus "one-way" travelling time to your home or office with a minimum of £10 per visit.

For most local call outs this equates to a travelling charge of between £10 and £15.

Typicaly a "local" call out of up to 30 minutes will cost £30.00, up to 45 minutes will costs £40.00, 60 minutes will cost £50.00, and then £40 an hour for any extra time spent.

It is not always possible to be precise as to how long a repair will take, but if requested an estimate of total repair cost will be supplied before starting work and the client will be kept informed should the estimated cost rise during the repair.

Whilst every care will be taken to preserve the data on your computer and to ensure a prompt and efficient repair, no responsibility can be taken for any data lost or consequencial losses arising from lost data or loss of use of the computer during the repair period.

It must be understood that under certain fault conditions the original data will not be recoverable and that any attempt at recovering data is at the clients risk. It is the clients responsibility to identify what data is required to be retained and ideally this data should be contained in a single folder on the clients original desktop.

Any software installed by us must be licenced to the client and the client assumes all responsibility for the legal use of any software either already installed on their computers or supplied to us by the client for installation.

In the event that the clients computer needs to be wiped and reinstalled then we will only be able to install the operating system and other software that the client makes available to us.

It is therefore important that the client retains all original software media as purchased.

Any customers equipment not collected two months after customer has been informed that it is ready will be disposed of.

In a couple of hours Phillip had cleared out a load of junk, got the speed up to almost instant on some sites & very fast on others & got Outlook Express running again! He is a friendly man with whom I had no qualms about letting into my home - I will use him again & would definitely recommend him to everyone.</p> <h4>Lap Top Repair by Richard Syrie - Houghton Regis</h4> <p>Phil arrived right on time and after asking just a few questions took away my lap top. He arrived early next day having sorted everything for me. I will use him again should the need arise and will also let friends know of the great service he provides.</p> <h4>PC was so slow! by Jo Mander - Dunstable</h4> <p>My PC had been running slowly for a while, Phil consulted me on everything he was doing and very quickly sorted the problem. PC running so quickly now....very pleased thanks Phil.</p> <h4>Laptop start up fix by Geoff Ralls - Eaton Bray</h4> <p>Prompt turn-up after phone call, couldn't solve on spot but returned within 24 hours all fixed and working well. No data lost. Great service with a smile and all over a weekend.</p> <h4>Printer not working / also system slow by Mr M Thomas - Eaton Bray</h4> <p>Phillip fixed my problems and also tuned up my computer.

I have no hesitation in recommending Phil to anyone with a PC problem</p> <h4>Phil fixed my PC! by Sue Garnett - Studham</h4> <p>Phil Conquest repaired my computer after I had been told by another party I needed to replace it! He was helpful, polite, positive and honest about the cost. He looked for solutions to the problem, rather than a reason why it couldn't be done. He also solved a long-standing problem I had been experiencing with my PC's fan. My computer is now very happy as am I with the service. I would highly recommend Phil.</p> <h4>Friendly & Good Service by C. Wood & Son - Luton</h4> <p>We had a postcard flyer come through the post so called Phil and he attended our office the following day. He was very friendly and helpful. We have called him out numerous times since. Definitely recommend.</p> <h4>He Fixed My PC by Janet Walden - Bicester</h4> <p>I have known Phil for a few years, and would strongly recommend his services. He is always the first person I think of to ask if I have a problem with my computer, however small. He is always courteous and professional, and his services are very good value for money. What more can you ask?!</p> <h4>He Fixed My PC by Never Clean Again - Bicester</h4> <p>I have been using Phil from 'He Fixed My PC' for a number of years for all of my computer needs. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I doubt that I will ever find another company that offers such excellent value for money. Phil offers that 'old fashioned' , friendly, value-for-money service that is so hard to find these days. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody from individuals with home computer needs to large commercial companies. His knowledge and experience is second-to none.</p> <h1>He Fixed My PC - computer repairs & support in Stanbridge, Leighton Buzzard villages, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire</h1> <h2>Prices and terms of business</h2> <p>If you are within 7 miles of Stanbridge then the first half hour (or part of) is charged at £17.50 with any subsequent time charged at £20 per hour with no mileage charges.</p> <p>For home or office visits further than 7 miles then there is an additional charge of £1 per mile for any additional miles over 7 (one way) to cover my time and fuel costs. </p> <p>It is not always possible to be precise as to how long a repair will take, but if requested an estimate of total repair cost will be supplied before starting work and the client will be kept informed should the estimated cost rise during the repair. <p>All payments shall be made at the time of repair.</p> <p>Whilst every care will be taken to preserve the data on your computer and to ensure a prompt and efficient repair, no responsibility can be taken for any data lost or consequencial losses arising from lost data or loss of use of the computer during the repair period.</p> <p>It must be understood that under certain fault conditions the original data will not be recoverable and that any attempt at recovering data is at the clients risk.
