Wi-Fi playing up? New laptop feeling like a stranger? I'm Pixels & Plugs — honest, patient, jargon-free tech help for homes nearby, at a fair price while I build my reputation in the area.
If it plugs in, connects, or has a screen, there's a good chance I can help — or I'll tell you honestly if it's beyond me and point you somewhere that can.
Slow or dropping Wi-Fi, router setup, extending signal to tricky rooms, getting new devices online.
Slow machines, set-up of new computers, software installs, updates, and general troubleshooting.
Removing malware and pop-ups, setting up antivirus, and simple steps to keep you safer online.
Printer, scanner and webcam setup, plus sorting out the classic "why won't it print" mystery.
Email and account set-up, transferring photos and contacts, and general "how do I..." questions.
Streaming services, smart speakers, smart plugs and simple smart home gadgets, set up properly.
Friendly, unhurried lessons for anyone who wants to feel more confident with their devices.
Cable tidying, device set-up, backups, and the small tech jobs that pile up on your to-do list.
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.
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.
Pixels & Plugs is here to help!
I'm currently retraining in IT and started Pixels & Plugs to put what I'm learning into practice — helping neighbours in Wimborne, Merley and Colehill with the everyday tech problems that are easy to ignore but annoying to live with.
I won't pretend to know everything yet, and I won't blind you with jargon either. What I offer is patience, honesty, and a genuinely fair price while I gain experience and build a name for reliable, friendly local support.
Based in and around Wimborne, and happy to travel to nearby towns and villages too - just ask if you're outside these areas.
Wimborne Minster and the surrounding streets
All of Merley and the neighbouring roads
Colehill and the nearby lanes
Get in touch - happy to travel a little further for the right job
