Repair
Fix a Slow Computer or Laptop
Startup speed, browser lag, spinning cursors — diagnosed properly, not with a cleaner app.
Symptoms we see
- Boot times measured in minutes
- Chrome or Edge tabs freeze the whole machine
- The fan spins hard when doing nothing
- Everything ran fine six months ago
Common causes
- A mechanical hard drive on borrowed time (SSD upgrade fixes 90% of these)
- Startup programs and browser extensions piling up
- Antivirus scanning the drive on a loop
- Windows Search or SysMain misbehaving after an update
How we approach it
We measure disk queue length, CPU wait, and memory pressure before touching anything — so we fix the real cause, not the symptom. If the drive is dying, we say so. If a £35 SSD would solve it, we say that too.
What you get
You get a machine that boots in under 20 seconds and stays responsive. If hardware is the ceiling, you'll know exactly what to upgrade and what it costs.
