Common questions
PC repair questions answered.
When is an on-site visit needed?
An on-site visit may be needed for hardware faults, failed upgrades, printer problems, network issues, physical checks or any problem that cannot be safely handled remotely.
Are parts included in PC repairs?
Hardware and related costs are the customer's responsibility. Backup IT can advise on suitable parts and help install or configure them where agreed.
Clear pricing before work starts.
Backup IT keeps the small print visible. On-site visits may include mileage and extra time charges depending on the work required. Hardware, replacement parts and peripherals remain the customer's responsibility unless agreed in advance.
If a problem can be resolved remotely instead, we will say so. The aim is to fix the issue in the most practical way, not to create unnecessary call-outs.

Include your Staffordshire town or postcode, the device make and model, and what happens when the fault occurs. Say whether it starts, displays an error or has stopped connecting to a printer or network. Visits are arranged by appointment, and these details help us discuss the work and location before a visit.
Where the device is working and connected, remote IT support may resolve a software or setup issue. For upgrades and replacement parts, the hardware cost depends on the device and what is needed. Important files should also be considered; see our backup support if your current setup needs attention.
Travel, time and hardware costs.
Published plan terms allow a mileage charge of £1.45 per mile, and visits over one hour may incur additional time or travel charges. Hardware and parts remain the customer's responsibility. Compare the home and business plans for visit provisions, or request help with a one-off repair.
