Laptop & PC Software Problems We Fix in Brighton
Virus & Malware Removal
Pop-ups, browser redirects, fake alerts, ransomware, adware — we remove it completely, clean the browser, check for lingering traces and set up proper antivirus protection so it doesn't happen again.
Slow Laptop — Software Fix
Software is often the real reason your laptop runs slowly. We remove startup bloat, clear unwanted programs running in the background, free up disk space, clean the registry and tune Windows or macOS performance settings.
Won't Start / OS Problems
Won't boot, stuck on a loading screen, blue screen of death (BSOD), Windows won't load after an update. We diagnose and repair corrupted system files, failed Windows updates and boot configuration problems — without losing your files where possible.
Windows & macOS Reinstall
Fresh OS installation when a laptop has been so badly infected or broken that a clean start is the best option. We back up your files first, reinstall Windows or macOS cleanly and restore your data and key software.
Data Backup & Recovery
Set up automatic cloud backup (OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud) so your files are never at risk. Or recover files from a laptop with software corruption, an accidentally deleted folder, or a botched update that wiped your data.
Software Setup & Configuration
New laptop out of the box, or a freshly reinstalled machine? We install your essential software, configure email, set up printers, connect cloud accounts and make sure everything works before we leave.
Common Software Problems We See in Brighton
In Brighton's mix of older residents, students, freelancers and remote workers, we see the same software problems repeatedly. Here's what typically causes each symptom:
| Symptom | Most likely software cause |
|---|---|
| Laptop running very slowly | Startup bloat, background programs, malware |
| Browser full of adverts / redirects | Adware or browser hijacker |

| Windows won't start after update | Failed Windows Update, corrupted boot files |
| Lost files after crash or update | No backup configured — recoverable in many cases |
| Email or apps stopped working | Account config, software conflict, OS update issue |
We diagnose the real cause before any work starts — and we always tell you honestly if it can be fixed.

Laptop Software Repair FAQs — Brighton
How much does laptop software repair cost in Brighton?
Diagnostic visit (no-fix, no-fee) £50 — waived if any repair proceeds. Virus/malware removal £70–£100. Slow laptop software tune-up £70–£90. Windows or macOS reinstall £80–£100. Data backup setup or recovery £70–£120. Most software jobs are resolved in a single visit.
My laptop is very slow — is this a software problem?
Very often yes. Startup programs that accumulate over time, background processes, a browser weighed down with extensions, malware consuming resources, or a full disk causing Windows to slow down — all of these are software issues we can fix on a home visit. We diagnose the real cause before doing any work.
Do you do home visit laptop repair in Brighton?
Yes — we come to your home across all Brighton and Hove postcodes. Most software repairs are completed on-site in a single visit. You don't need to carry your laptop anywhere or wait for it to be returned from a shop.
Can you fix a Mac as well as Windows?
Yes. We repair both Windows laptops and Macs (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro). macOS issues include software problems, malware (yes, Macs get it), OS reinstalls, data recovery and account/email configuration. All the same home visit service applies.
Can you recover files from a laptop that won't start?
Often yes — many cases of a laptop that won't boot are software or OS corruption problems, not hardware failure. We can frequently recover access to your files and restore them, or reinstall the OS while keeping your data intact. We assess this on the diagnostic visit.
