Computer Health Check & Tune-up for homes in Ponsonby
Housing here is dominated by timber villas and bungalows, many renovated, with long central hallways and additions out the back. Wi-Fi from a router in the front room rarely reaches the kitchen or a studio at the bottom of the garden. Herne Bay and Westmere also have larger homes where wired access points, outdoor coverage and a tidy home office make the biggest difference.

- Dust cleaned from fans and vents, with temperatures checked

Visiting sites in Ponsonby
Parking on narrow villa streets is tight, especially near Ponsonby Road on weekends, so a driveway or a quiet side street helps. Older homes often have limited ceiling space and low subfloors, which affects where cable can run, so we check both before pricing any cabling work.
We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book
- Two or more security programs keep competing for attention
- The computer takes noticeably longer to start than it used to
- The fan runs loudly even when you are only reading email
Before we arrive
- Details of how you back up, such as an external drive or cloud service
- A note of anything that has felt slow, noisy or unreliable
- Any security software subscriptions you know you are paying for

Computer Health Check & Tune-up in Ponsonby: questions
Can you improve Wi-Fi in an old villa?
Yes. Thick timber walls and long hallways weaken Wi-Fi in villas. We look at where the fibre comes in and usually run a cable to one or two well-placed access points rather than relying on plug-in extenders.
Do you help small businesses on Ponsonby Road and in Kingsland?
Yes. We cover Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Kingsland, Herne Bay, Westmere, St Marys Bay and the surrounding streets, for shops, cafes, studios and offices as well as homes.
Do you work on Macs?
Yes. We repair and set up Mac computers and laptops, and connect them to shared printers, file storage and the office network alongside any Windows machines.
Do you do computer health check & tune-up in Grey Lynn?
Yes. We cover all of Ponsonby, including Grey Lynn, Herne Bay, Westmere, Arch Hill, St Marys Bay, Kingsland.
Will you delete any of my programs or files?
Not without your say-so. We list software that looks unnecessary, such as trial programs or duplicate security products, and remove only what you agree to. Your documents, photos and email are left alone. Where something is unclear, we leave it and note it.
