Mac repairs I handle at my Cheadle Hulme workshop
These are the most common Apple repairs I see from Wilmslow customers. If yours isn’t listed, get in touch — I can usually advise you on the best way forward.
SSD Upgrades
Older MacBooks and iMacs with spinning hard drives benefit massively from an SSD upgrade. It’s the single most effective way to bring a slow Mac back to life — boot times drop from minutes to seconds, and everyday use feels like a different machine.
Screen & Battery Replacement
Cracked or flickering MacBook screens replaced where panels are available and cost-effective for your model. Battery replacements for MacBook Air and Pro models that no longer hold a charge through the day. Trackpad replacements where the click mechanism has failed or the surface is unresponsive.
macOS & Software Issues
Flashing folder icons, boot loops, kernel panics, slow performance after updates — these are some of the most common Mac faults I see. I diagnose the root cause properly, whether it’s software corruption, a failing drive, or an OS issue, and fix it without unnecessary part replacements.
Complex repairs — specialist support, managed by me
Not every Mac fault can be fixed with a straightforward part swap. Logic board failures, liquid damage recovery, and micro-soldering work require specialist equipment that goes beyond a standard workshop setup.
For these repairs, I work with a trusted specialist partner. The process is simple: I collect your Mac, assess the fault at my workshop, and if it needs board-level work, I coordinate the repair with my specialist. You deal with me throughout — I keep you informed at every stage and return the device once completed.
This means you get the benefit of specialist-level repair without having to find, vet, or deal with a separate company yourself. I’m straightforward about what I handle in-house and what needs specialist attention — and I’ll always give you clear options before any work goes ahead.
Mac support for home offices & small businesses
Many of my Wilmslow customers rely on their Mac for work — whether that’s a MacBook Pro for client projects, an iMac running a home office, or a Mac Mini handling day-to-day admin. When it stops working, it directly affects your productivity and your income.
I prioritise business-critical faults and can often arrange same-day collection across SK9. If the issue can be resolved with remote support, I’ll tell you that too — I’m not here to collect your Mac when a quick remote fix will sort it.
Your data comes first
Macs often contain years of photos, documents, and work files. Whether it’s a failing drive, a macOS issue, or physical damage, my first priority during any repair is the safety of your data.
If there’s a risk to your files, I’ll flag it before starting any work. Where data recovery is possible, I’ll explain the realistic options — and if it’s beyond what can be recovered, I’ll tell you that honestly too.

Frequently asked questions — Mac repair in Wilmslow
How much does Mac repair in Wilmslow cost?
It depends on the fault and the model. I’ll give you an honest assessment and clear options once I understand the problem — no obligation, no pressure.
Do you repair all Mac models?
I handle common repairs — SSD upgrades, screens, batteries, trackpads, and macOS issues — across most MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac and Mac Mini models. For complex board-level faults, I coordinate with a trusted specialist partner.
Do you collect from Wilmslow?
Yes. I’m based in Cheadle Hulme, a few minutes from Wilmslow. Collection and return across SK9 is straightforward to arrange.

Often, yes — particularly for SSD upgrades, which can transform a slow Mac for a fraction of the replacement cost. If the repair isn’t economical, I’ll tell you before you spend money.

I use high-quality replacement parts appropriate for each repair. For some components, genuine Apple parts aren’t available outside Apple’s own programme — I’ll explain the options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
