We keep it working — fixes, setups and a person on the phone when it breaks.
No portal to log into and no form that asks you to categorise your own problem. Message us in plain words and the first reply comes from the person who will actually do the work.
What is happening, on which device, and when it started. A photo of the error message is worth ten minutes of description, but it is not required.
Usually a call and a screen share. You watch what we do, which means the next time it happens you may not need us at all.
Most things are resolved in the same session. When something genuinely needs a part, a reinstall or hands on the machine, we say so rather than stretching a remote fix that will not hold.
What was wrong, what changed, and anything you now need to know — passwords you set, settings we altered, what to watch for. In writing, so it is yours.
Every request leaves behind the same three things: somewhere you can see it is being dealt with, a session you were part of, and a plain-language record of what changed.
What has been picked up, what is still open, and what is waiting on something from you. Not a ticket reference to quote back at us — just an honest answer when you ask.
You watch the whole session and you end it whenever you like. We never ask for your password — where one is needed, you type it yourself.
What went wrong, in words that make sense, so the same thing is less frightening next time.
Settings changed, software installed, anything you now need to remember — sent to you afterwards.
Your accounts, your machines, your passwords. Nothing is held hostage and nothing needs us to unlock it.
First-line and second-line support: the everyday problems that have an answer, rather than the ones that need a project. If yours is not listed, ask anyway — it usually turns out to be one of these wearing a different hat.
A machine out of the box and genuinely ready to work on — signed in, updated, your files where you expect them and the things you use every day already installed.
The catch-all, and the most common call. Something that worked on Friday does not work on Monday and nobody changed anything.
Describe the problem in whatever words you have. You do not need to know what is wrong — working that out is the job.
