Why Pixels & Plugs?

I'm just starting out, training in IT, and building my reputation one happy customer at a time. That means you get genuinely low rates and my full attention — not a rushed job squeezed between bigger clients.

Honest pricingNo hidden fees
Pricing

Simple, honest, upfront

No call-out fee sting in my main service area, no vague "it depends" — just a fair rate while I get established, promised to stay low for early customers.

Launch Rate (limited time)
£20 / hour
Charged in 15-minute blocks after the first hour. No call-out fee within Wimborne, Merley & Colehill.
Phone / video diagnosis
Free
A quick call first to see if I can talk you through it before you pay for a visit.
Parts & hardware
At cost
If anything needs replacing (cables, adapters, etc.) you'll see the receipt — no mark-up while I'm building trust.
🌱 Why so low? I'm new to this as a business and want to earn your trust and experience fairly. As I take on more jobs and build my skills, rates will rise gradually — but early customers will always be looked after.
