I aim to specifically support the more senior IT users within our community. I am based in Dinedor, Hereford and cover the whole of Herefordshire (and just over the borders). I have 25 years’ experience of working within I.T. including the hands on supporting of all age groups and abilities.
From technophobes to technogeeks, I’ve helped them all.
Through my experience I have found that within this demographic, people requiring support often appreciate a completely different approach.
I won’t burden anyone with jargon and will offer only gentle and compassionate support/advice. Considering the userβs whole situation can help make them feel more comfortable with tackling technology and lead to a growing confidence.
Sometimes, the iPad issue or printing problem might be the initial reason for contact and all that’s really required
is someone to sit patiently with them and share a cuppa. I can do that too; I’m a great listener!
I’d like to reach out too, to the children of elderly parents. I fall into this category and know how sometimes it can be
problematic trying to support a loved one over the phone. “I can’t connect to skype”, “I can’t see the photo you just sent me”,
“I’ve had an email telling me to send money to someone”… I’m sure we’ve all tried to aid with these kinds of requests for help.
But this is where I can help…
What do I offer?
Here’s what I can support you with, in the comfort of your own home (please contact me if you don’t see your specific situation listed here).
An empathetic chat over a cuppa to put the world to rights (whilst sorting out your IT issues) General tips and advice/training Fault finding Software support New PC Installation / Setup Virus & Malware Removal Email Troubleshooting & Setup Broadband Internet & Router Setup Wi-Fi Range Issues Software Installation Windows Reinstall / Refresh Slow Computer Clean-up Printer Installation / Troubleshooting Backup Advice & Solutions Solid State Drive (SSD) Upgrades Data Recovery Laptop Battery Replacement PC & Laptop Upgrades & Advice
This list is not exhaustive and I can help generally with many other problems related to technology (think TV’s, gadgets, wearable tech…)
Here’s a typical day in the life of Tea and Tech.

Rich visited today to sort out some problems with my PC. Iβm reasonably comfortable with using the PC but the hour with Rich was very useful and informative. He also opened up my PC and found some hardware problems that another company offering computer repair has missed. Iβd recommend this guy. His rates are reasonable and he knows his stuff.
