Most people don’t need a managed IT contract. They need someone reliable who picks up the phone, understands the problem, and fixes it without making it complicated.
That’s what Dreambytes does. I’m Tony Roberts — independent computer technician, based in Cheadle Hulme, covering homes and small businesses across Cheshire for over 30 years. No franchise, no junior engineers, no outsourcing. When you call, you get me.
Tech support means different things to different people. For a home user it might be a one-off fix — email that’s stopped working, a computer that won’t start, a new router that needs setting up. For a small business it might be keeping a handful of machines running reliably without the cost and commitment of a full IT contract.
Either way, the approach is the same: find out what’s actually wrong, fix it properly, tell you what happened in plain English.
What makes Dreambytes different
- One point of contact — you always speak to the same person
- No contracts or retainers — pay for what you need, when you need it
- Remote-first where it makes sense — faster and cheaper for software issues
- On-site when it doesn’t — hardware, network setup, hands-on problems
- 30+ years experience — Windows, Mac, networking, email, Microsoft 365
- No fix, no fee — you don’t pay if I can’t sort it
Who I work with
- Home users — one-off fixes and advice
- Home office workers — keeping work computers reliable
- Small businesses — ongoing support, no contract required

Tech support for every situation
The problems are different depending on who you are and how you use your computer. Here’s how I approach each.
Home users
Computers, laptops, tablets and smart devices. One-off problems fixed without drama — slow machines, internet dropouts, email chaos, Windows doing something inexplicable.
Most home jobs are resolved remotely or in a single visit. You get a straight answer, a fixed price, and it works when I’m done.
Home office
Working from home puts different pressure on your setup — VPNs, video calls, Microsoft 365, cloud storage, printers that only work sometimes. When your work computer fails, you can’t afford to wait.
I prioritise home office calls and can often fix software issues remotely the same day.
Small business
A small business doesn’t need a managed IT contract — it needs someone competent, available, and honest about what things actually cost. That’s the gap I fill for businesses across Cheshire.
No monthly fees, no minimum terms. Call when something needs fixing, or discuss a regular arrangement if that suits you better.
Remote support — fastest for software problems
A significant number of tech support calls never need a visit. Email problems, Windows faults, Microsoft 365 issues, slow performance, account lockouts — these can often be resolved remotely while you watch.
Remote support is cheaper, faster, and available to customers anywhere in Cheshire. I connect securely, fix the problem, and disconnect. You stay in control throughout.
On-site support — when you need someone there
Some problems need physical access — network setup, hardware faults, new equipment installation, or anything where being on-site just makes more sense than trying to talk someone through it remotely.
I cover homes and businesses across Cheshire for on-site visits. I’ll always tell you honestly whether remote or on-site is the right call for your situation — I’m not going to charge for a visit if remote would sort it faster.

Frequently asked questions — tech support Cheshire
Do you offer tech support without a contract?
Yes. No contracts, no retainers, no monthly fees unless you want a regular arrangement. Most customers just call when something needs fixing — that’s absolutely fine.
How do I know if my problem can be fixed remotely?
Describe the problem when you get in touch and I’ll tell you straight away. Software, email, Windows and account issues usually suit remote support well. Hardware faults and network setup generally need a visit or the machine in my workshop.
What areas of Cheshire do you cover?
I’m based in Cheadle Hulme and cover Cheadle, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Bramhall, Stockport, Gatley, Poynton, Woodford and surrounding areas for on-site visits. Remote support is available anywhere.
Is Dreambytes suitable for small business support?
Yes. I work with sole traders, home offices and small businesses across Cheshire. No contract required — call when you need something fixing. If you want a more regular arrangement, I’m happy to discuss it.
How much does tech support cost?
It depends on the problem. I give you a fixed-price quote before any chargeable work starts. Remote support is often cheaper than an on-site visit for software issues. No fix, no fee.
Do you support Macs as well as Windows PCs?
Yes. Windows PCs, laptops and Apple Macs. Let me know the make, model and what it’s doing when you get in touch.
