Dav's D&R diagnoses and repairs laptops and desktops — hardware faults, software slowdowns, and everything in between. Based in Birmingham, covering up to 100 miles with collection available.
From tracking down an intermittent fault to building something new from parts, it's handled in-house.
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.
Screens, keyboards, batteries, hinges, fans, ports, hard drives and SSDs. Genuine or equivalent-grade parts, fitted and tested before it comes back to you.
Virus and malware removal, OS reinstalls, driver conflicts, and machines that have slowed to a crawl. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.
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.
Every job follows the same four steps, so you always know where things stand.
Tell us what's happening, bring the machine in or arrange collection.
We identify the fault and put it in plain English — no jargon.
You approve the fixed price before any repair work begins.
We fix it, test it properly, and hand it back ready to use.
Real fault patterns we see often, and where the machine ends up.
The diagnostic fee is credited toward the cost of any repair you approve.
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.
