Computer & laptop repairs in Cheadle Hulme — with collection & return
If your PC or laptop is running slow, crashing, won’t boot, or has developed a hardware fault, I can help — without you queuing in a shop or dealing with a call centre.
I’m Tony Roberts at Dreambytes, an independent computer repair specialist based in Cheadle Hulme, SK8. I’ve been repairing computers and laptops for over 30 years — from everyday software issues to the awkward hardware faults other places won’t touch.
Most of my work is handled locally across Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Gatley, Wilmslow, Stockport, Woodford, Poynton, Alderley Edge and surrounding Cheshire areas. I collect your device at a convenient time, diagnose the issue properly at my workshop, explain the options in plain English, then return it once repaired and tested.
If the quickest fix can be done via remote support, I’ll tell you that too — I’m not here to upsell.
- Fixed-price quotes — agreed before any chargeable work starts
- Fast turnaround — many common faults completed within 24–48 hours
- Collection & return — across SK8, Bramhall, Gatley, Wilmslow and nearby
- Honest verdict — if it’s not worth repairing, I’ll tell you before you spend money
- Workshop-based — proper tools, proper environment, not a bedroom operation

Workshop repairs in Cheadle Hulme — done properly
My workshop is here in Cheadle Hulme — properly equipped for everything from laptop screen replacements to motherboard-level diagnostics. This isn’t a bedroom operation and it isn’t a faceless warehouse. Your device stays local and I do the work myself.
Every repair follows the same process:
- Proper diagnosis — I identify the actual fault, not just the symptom
- Clear explanation — what’s wrong, what it needs, and what it costs
- Quality parts — correctly matched to your specific device
- Tested before return — you get it back working, not hoping
- No pressure — if it’s not worth repairing, I’ll save you the money
Business & home office support
Many of my customers across Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall and Wilmslow work from home or run small businesses. When your computer goes down, it’s not just inconvenient — it costs you money.
I prioritise business-critical faults and can often arrange same-day collection. Whether it’s a laptop that won’t boot before a client meeting, an email system that’s stopped working, or a network issue affecting your whole office, I’ll get you back up and running as quickly as possible.
Remote & on-site options
Not every problem needs a workshop visit. For software issues, email problems, and some Windows faults, I can often fix things remotely — without collecting the machine at all.
For issues best resolved at your location — Wi-Fi setup, printer problems, new computer configuration — I offer on-site visits across the Cheadle Hulme, Stockport and South Manchester area.
I’ll always recommend whichever approach is fastest and most cost-effective for your specific problem.
How it works
- Get in touch — call 0161 428 8882, text, or use the quote form below. Describe the symptoms and I’ll give you an honest first assessment.
- Collection & return — Due to the unpredictable nature of repair work and the time I spend working on-site, workshop drop-offs are not currently available. I offer a free collection and return service across Cheshire instead.
- Proper diagnosis — at my Cheadle Hulme workshop. You get a clear explanation and a fixed-price quote before any chargeable work.
- Repair — completed and tested once you approve the quote.
- Return — collect from workshop or I deliver back to your door.
Tip: If the device is physically damaged (screen, hinge, charging port), try not to force it — that often makes the repair harder and more expensive.
