Need remote IT support in Grey Lynn, Herne Bay or anywhere else in Ponsonby? Tell us the job and we'll come back with a time and a price.
Repairs here often involve Macs, as many designers, architects and agencies use them, alongside Windows laptops and office printers. We also help with data recovery after a failed drive and with clearing out scam pop-ups or a hacked email account.
From $60 + GST ($69 incl. GST) for remote help, no call-out fee
- A session you start yourself and can end at any moment
- Your screen visible to you the whole time we are connected
- A short written note of what was found and changed
Remote IT Support 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.

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
- A Microsoft 365 account is locked, unlicensed or asking for sign-in on a loop
- Waiting for a visit would hold up work for a problem that is probably software
- One person's email or printing has stopped working but everything else is fine
Before we arrive
- Any error message written down or captured as a screenshot
- Your Microsoft 365 or email sign-in details, if the problem involves an account
- A note of anything that changed just before the problem started, such as an update or a new device

Larger jobs - a new network, a run of cabling, a server or a camera system - get a free quote before any work starts, so you know the cost up front. Parts and equipment are quoted and agreed before we order them.
There is no contract, no monthly fee and no membership. You book the job you need and pay for that job.
Remote IT Support 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 remote IT support in Grey Lynn?
Yes. We cover all of Ponsonby, including Grey Lynn, Herne Bay, Westmere, Arch Hill, St Marys Bay, Kingsland.
What can't be fixed remotely?
Anything physical - a computer that will not turn on, a damaged screen, a failed drive, a network cable or Wi-Fi coverage problem. If the computer cannot reach the internet, we cannot connect to it either. In those cases we book an onsite visit and pass on what we already learned.
