Frequently Asked Questions
What does device refurbishment include?
Our refurbishment service includes deep internal cleaning, thermal paste replacement, SSD/RAM upgrades where beneficial, operating system reinstall, driver updates, and cosmetic cleaning. We tailor the service to each device's needs.
Is refurbishment cheaper than buying new?
Yes, typically 50-70% cheaper than new equipment. A full refurbishment with SSD upgrade can give an old laptop another 3-5 years of productive life at a fraction of replacement cost.
How long does refurbishment take?
Most devices are completed within 24-48 hours. For bulk orders or complex repairs, we'll provide a specific timeline. Our mobile service can often complete simpler upgrades same-day at your location.
Do you come to our office?
Absolutely. Our mobile refurbishment service covers Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Preston, and surrounding areas. We can work on-site during or after hours to minimise disruption.
What if my device can't be economically repaired?
We'll be honest with you. If repair costs exceed the value of replacement, we'll recommend our quality refurbished devices as a cost-effective alternative, or help you source new equipment.
Do you provide warranty on refurbishment work?
Yes, all our refurbishment work comes with a 90-day warranty covering parts and labour. Extended warranty options are available for business clients.
