Hi all I am still operating (in a Covid safe manner ;-) so feel free to call me for you or a friend/family member.

To all of my valued customers.
Due to Corona virus outbreak I have had to change the way I conduct my business and have put the following precautions in place.
1) If you have a computer issue/user issue you can ring me and I will try to sort it out on the phone. If I am unable to do so I will use "Teamviewer" software to remotely login to your computer and diagnose the problem. If you don't already have "Teamviewer" installed on your computer contact me and I will give you instructions.
2) If I feel that I need to physically near your computer, you will need to unhook all of the cables, wipe the computer down with disinfectant and meet me at the front door when I come to collect it. I will be wearing a mask & gloves. When I return the computer you will have to re-connect it yourself.
3) Payment can still be made by cash, direct deposit or using my 😷machine. I will clean it after every transaction.
