I’m Tony Roberts. I run Dreambytes from my workshop in Cheadle Hulme, and I’ve been repairing computers and laptops for over 30 years. Every repair that comes through the door is handled by me — not a junior, not a subcontractor, not someone following a script.
If your computer is slow, crashing, not powering on, physically damaged, or just doing something it shouldn’t — I’ll diagnose the actual fault, explain what it needs in plain English, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. If it isn’t worth repairing, I’ll tell you that too.
I cover the full range of computer and laptop repairs for home users, home office workers and small businesses across Cheshire — with collection and return available across SK8, Stockport, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and surrounding areas.

Workshop repairs, done properly
My workshop is here in Cheadle Hulme — equipped for everything from laptop screen replacements to motherboard-level diagnostics. Repairs are carried out on-site, not posted to a warehouse or handed to someone else.
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 — matched correctly to your device
- Tested before return — you get it back working, not hoping
- Honest assessment — if it’s not worth repairing, I’ll tell you before you spend money
How it works
- Get in touch — call 0161 428 8882 or use the 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.
- Diagnosis — proper fault-finding at my 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 the workshop or I deliver back to you.
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.

Frequently asked questions — computer repair Cheshire
How much does computer repair cost in Cheshire?
It depends on the fault. Software issues are often cheaper than hardware repairs. I give you a clear, fixed-price quote once I’ve diagnosed the problem — no obligation, no pressure. If it isn’t worth repairing, I’ll tell you before you spend anything.
How quickly can you turn repairs around?
Most common repairs are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours. If parts are needed, turnaround depends on availability — I’ll confirm the timeline before any work starts.
Do you repair Macs as well as Windows PCs?
Yes. I work on Windows PCs, laptops and Apple Macs. Let me know the make and model when you get in touch and I’ll advise on the best approach.
Can you collect my computer from my home?
Yes. 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.
What if my computer isn't worth repairing?
I’ll tell you honestly before any chargeable work starts. There’s no point spending money on a repair that doesn’t make sense. If replacement is the better option, I’ll say so.
Do you offer business computer repair in Cheshire?
Yes. Many of my customers are small businesses and home office workers across Cheshire. I prioritise business-critical faults and can discuss ongoing support arrangements — no contracts, no lock-in.
