What we do

Four ways we get your computer working properly again

From tracking down an intermittent fault to building something new from parts, it's handled in-house.

01

Diagnostics & troubleshooting

Won't turn on, randomly restarts, runs hot, or just "feels wrong" — we run a full scan and tell you exactly what's failing and why, before anything is touched.

02

Hardware repair & replacement

Screens, keyboards, batteries, hinges, fans, ports, hard drives and SSDs. Genuine or equivalent-grade parts, fitted and tested before it comes back to you.

03

Software issues & optimisation

Virus and malware removal, OS reinstalls, driver conflicts, and machines that have slowed to a crawl. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.

04

Custom PC builds & upgrades

A new build speced to your budget and what you actually use it for, or an upgrade path for the machine you've already got — more RAM, faster storage, a better GPU.

How it works

From drop-off to a machine that works

Every job follows the same four steps, so you always know where things stand.

1

Book & drop off

Tell us what's happening, bring the machine in or arrange collection.

2

Full diagnostic

We identify the fault and put it in plain English — no jargon.

3

Quote & approval

You approve the fixed price before any repair work begins.

4

Repair & return

We fix it, test it properly, and hand it back ready to use.

Davante

Founder, Dav's D&R

Every machine that comes through the door gets diagnosed properly before anything is touched — no guesswork, no unnecessary parts. I built Dav's D&R around that principle: tell you exactly what's wrong, quote it fairly, and fix it right the first time.

I've worked as an IT repair technician for 4 years, and long before that I was already pulling apart, fixing, and building my own computers and laptops. From a cracked screen to a full custom build, it's the same workshop, the same standards, and the same person doing the work.
