How it works
From first message to finished job.
Tell me what you need
Email me what you need set up or what isn't working. Software problems can often be fixed in a remote session, at £20 for 30 minutes.
Evenings or weekends
On-site visits within 10 miles of Paisley are booked for an evening or weekend, at £45 for the first hour and £35 for each hour after that. Your working day carries on undisturbed.
Fix and document
Network work is labelled and documented, so your setup makes sense to whoever looks at it next.
Not for emergencies
For homes and offices of up to about eight people, at £40 per hour with a one-hour minimum. I can't respond to urgent problems during the working day, so this isn't a replacement for an on-call helpdesk.

For teams of up to about eight people, I can handle setup, small networks, backups and non-urgent fixes at £40 per hour with a one-hour minimum. I work evenings and weekends, which suits installs and upgrades without disrupting your day, but I can't respond to urgent problems during working hours. If you need a fix by lunchtime, I'm the wrong person.
Evenings and weekends. I run Reverse Polarity alongside a full-time job. Evening and weekend visits also suit people who work during the day.
Yes. I can build your website and also set up the machines and the network it runs on, so you have one person to call for both.
