Computer Repairs & IT Support in Portsea
Portsea's got a different pace — and the tech setups I see down here often reflect that. Beautiful holiday homes that are only lived in part of the year, but still need reliable Wi-Fi, working security cameras, and backed-up family photos. I'm discreet, punctual, and treat every home with the care it deserves.
Helping Portsea with all things tech
Portsea's affluent, largely seasonal, and particular. That suits me fine. A lot of my work here involves setting up reliable systems that 'just work' when the owners come down for the weekend or the summer.
Whatever you need, I come to you — no need to unplug your computer and drive anywhere. I'll park out the front, have a proper look, explain what's going on, and get it sorted. And if it's something I can't fix on the day, I'll tell you honestly and let you know what the options are.
Most Common IT Jobs in Portsea
Here's what I help Portsea residents with most often — but if your issue isn't listed, just ask.
Network & NBN Setup
Setting up routers, Wi-Fi, extenders, and home networks — including troubleshooting NBN drop-outs and slow speeds. A surprising number of problems are fixable in an afternoon.
Cloud Storage & Backup Solutions
Setting up secure, low-cost cloud storage and automated backup systems using Amazon S3 Glacier, Google Drive, iCloud, and others — so you never lose anything important again.
Device Setup & Configuration
New computer, phone, tablet, or smart home device? I'll get it set up and ready to use from day one — accounts, software, connections, the lot.
Data Recovery
Recovering lost or inaccessible files from old, damaged, or corrupted hard drives. If the files matter to you, it's worth having a proper look before giving up.
Software & Hardware Troubleshooting
Diagnosing and fixing slow, crashing, or misbehaving computers. Whether it's a hardware issue or a software conflict, I'll track it down and sort it out.
Virus & Malware Removal
Cleaning infected devices and setting up ongoing protection so it doesn't happen again. No pop-ups, no scare tactics — just a clean, safe device.
Printer & Peripheral Setup
Getting printers, scanners, and other devices talking to your computer properly. No more 'why won't it just work' moments.
Website Updates & Maintenance
Small updates, content changes, and general maintenance for existing websites. If your site exists and just needs looking after, I can help.

A bit about me
I'm Brendan. I live in Rye, I'm a real person (not a franchise or call centre), and I genuinely enjoy helping people with their tech. I don't use jargon, I don't make you feel silly for asking questions, and I won't try to sell you things you don't need. If I can't help, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
If you've been burned by an IT person before, I get it. A lot of my customers have. What I promise is simple: I'll turn up when I say I will, do what I say I'll do, and charge a fair price for it.
