“Simon has been a godsend. He responds very quickly to enquiries and has made several home visits to us at short notice. He has provided solutions to a whole range of our computer problems with efficiency and professionalism. Quite apart from his expertise, his great strength is his patient and courteous approach to clients. He has never patronized us, swamped us with geeky jargon or made us feel that our questions were idiotic. He has also spent time giving some very valuable tuition on various ways of making the most of what a Mac can do. I could not recommend him more highly.”

Sue K – Munstead, Surrey
“Simon has been to sort us out three times now. He is such a pleasant person and quickly gets our problems solved and explains things in a very clear way so that I am learning new ways and shortcuts which I would never have found out. It is reassuring to know that if we get a problem Simon is there.”

Barbara B – Guildford, Surrey
“Simon is everything you want in support – capable, committed and personable. In our case he helped us decide on the right solution and then delivered exactly as promised exactly when promised. He went above and beyond to guarantee everything was just right and took the right amount of time to assure the end-user was satisfied and confident. I don’t usually make recommendations, however, I have no compunction in absolutely recommending Simon not just for his IT expertise but his ability to support people. I will definitely be calling upon his services again. He is our Apple Man.”

Gerard G – Wonersh, Surrey
“We found Simon when a MAC system update left us without a functioning computer or internet connection. Suffice to say tensions were high but Simon turned the whole situation around. Speedy and efficient in replying and setting up an urgent visit, he had a calm and professional approach from start to finish. He worked through various issues and beyond fixing the initial problems identified things we could alter (most of them at no cost) which has made our IT systems much more efficient and productive. Needless to say he has returned a couple of times since the initial visit to help with other challenges and he is now our absolute go-to expert for all things IT. A huge relief to have this friendly, professional support as a small business owner. Thank you Simon!”

Kelly C – East Horsely, Surrey
“My iMac hadn’t been working properly for such a long time that I was minded to get rid of it before deciding to “give it one more try”. I contacted Simon whom responded promptly. He sorted out my network, ensured Time Machine was working properly so all my files were backed up, re-installed the OS and recommended a memory upgrade. My system is now working better than when I first bought it! Simon is personable, professional and I will forget more than I will ever know; I’m happy to recommend him!”

Richard K – Hindhead, Surrey
“I have used Simon (IT@Home4U) on two occasions and he responded quickly and efficiently to my call for assistance and resolved the problems I was experiencing with my iMac. I found him very professional in his approach; friendly and and very patient in dealing with customers less knowledgeable in IT matters. Whilst fixing my Mac he also helped me with setting up my e-mail system on my iPhone 6 and gave me invaluable advice on the importance of backing up data and storage devices for my mac desktop. Simon was also able to cure a rare problem caused by an Apple update! If you have a problem with Apple devices I would recommend Simon without hesitation; he is knowledgeable with a good sense of humour and very approachable.”

Vaughan T – Ascot, Berkshire
“Excellent service! Sorted and explained several problems for me. It is great to know I have Simon’s expertise to call on if and when needed. Highly recommend IT@HOME4U.”

Jean A – Lightwater, Surrey
“Following a recommendation we have now used Simon three times for issues with both hardware and software. Available at short notice and providing a very efficient service we would thoroughly encourage everyone to use IT@home4U for any Mac related problems.”

Jonathan B – Guildford, Surrey
“Simon was able to visit very soon after my call. He worked efficiently and quickly to help diagnose why my mac was running ultra-slow and was able to suggest ways in which I could help it perform better. When I ordered extra ram it was ready really quickly and he was able to just pop over and fit in in the space of half an hour. Excellent and knowledgeable service”.

Ysanne B – Guildford, Surrey
“We found Simon on an internet search and we have never looked back. He set up 2 new iMac’s for us, changing over from Windows PC’s, together with a home network system. He will always find a solution to any problem. He explains everything in a language that we can understand. He responds to follow up requests very promptly and his online help service is excellent. I would thoroughly recommend him”.

Erica & Bob M – Redhill, Surrey
“How lucky were we to find Simon. He responded promptly, and provided an excellent service. He has restored the functionality of our Mac and suggested one or two things to improve our security. He was just the person we were looking for. We would recommend him unreservedly.”

Katy K – Richmond, Surrey
“Being disappointed with Apple support and their policy, you can only exchange parts to similar parts; I looked around and come across this website. I used the contact form and Simon came back to me promptly with a list of options and costs, as well as professional advice and guidance. He collected the iMac from my home, in Bracknell, and brought it back when the job was finished, all at a reasonable delivery charge. The payment, by card, was made simple with a cool portable device Simon had which sent a receipt straight away to my mailbox.

Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended.”

Olivier S – Bracknell, Berkshire
“Simon recently replaced a hard drive on my Imac. Simon was recommended to me by a neighbour and is certainly very knowledgeable about Macs. He came to our house the day after I contacted him and did some initial diagnosis on site. He then took away the machine to run some more diagnostics and eventually replaced the hard drive. He restored all my backed up information and then returned the machine to us the following day. All in all a great service and will definitely use him again if we have any future issues.”

Nick W – West Byfleet, Surrey
“With little computer experience, I found the change from a PC to a Mac intimidating however, Simon set-up my Mac transferring all files from a PC to the Mac. He has been invaluable in providing technical support as and when needed and this has given me the confidence to explore and enjoy my computer. Beyond his technical capability, Simon’s patience, professionalism and calm manner is perfect. I cannot recommend him more highly.”

Sheila S – Dorking, Surrey
“Simon provides a prompt, courteous and knowledgeable service. My Mac runs faster now and I’ve gained some helpful tips and advice. I would definitely recommend IT@Home4U.”

Natalie D – Guildford, Surrey
“Simon has recently upgraded our IT which has improved our efficiency but also given us the tools to be more professional with clients and suppliers. We have also managed to make some savings. Simon continues to help us with any glitches that we are unable to manage ourselves, although the new system has enabled us to be more self sufficient.
We would be happy to recommend him to others.”

Allison – Guildford, Surrey (Elphinston Wells Ltd.)
“Simon recently upgraded my iMac which now runs so much better and faster. He also gave me some helpful tips as I work from home and didn’t know about them. I would definitely call on Simon again and highly recommend him.”

Alison F – Dorking, Surrey
“My wife and I first discovered Simon about 2 years ago when we decided to change our home set up and ‘go Apple’. Simon helped us select the kit that we would need and then set it up for us – all trouble free and he provided an ‘Apple tutorial’ to help us transition from Microsoft to the Apple world. We both use the Mac for work so it was essential that the change over – emails/ data etc happened as seamlessly as possible. We were using the new system, after our 1st lesson later the same day.
Since then Simon has helped us on numerous occasions with printer problems, and instruction to ensure that our iPads, iPhones and my MacBook perform efficiently. Simon is infinitely patient, explains technical stuff in a way that a child can understand and has helped both my wife and out of a number of self-created problems. He’s really quick to respond, professional and very easy going – put his number somewhere safe and your IT problems are over!”

Martin & Nicky R – Weybridge, Surrey
“Simon provided excellent service from start to finish. Good Knowledge, personal service, quick diagnosis, very quick turnaround/ fixing problem, inexpensive and would not hesitate to recommend or use again. Thank you IT@Home4U for your services.”

Andrew S – Woking, Surrey
“Simon is not only technically expert, but also both willing and able to listen and explain – intelligibly! He was recommended to help me as I use the Mac linked with Windows (using Parallels) for both home and work – and sometimes need urgent help with deadlines to be met. It provides me great peace of mind to know that Simon is there to respond professional and effectively – whatever the problem. I recommend his services and very human approach, to anyone with potential Mac needs.”

Susan G – Cobham, Surrey
“We have been through many people who claim to provide IT support at home, Simon is by far and away the best. He gets on with multiple jobs without asking too many questions and managed to sort out the many tricky problems we gave him. Very responsive, quick and professional. Use him!”

Elke E – Godalming, Surrey
“I’ve saved Simon’s number in my phone as ‘Mac Doctor’ as he’s the go-to man for all things Apple. His helpful and pleasant manner make it really easy to call him up and invite him around to fix an issue. Ideal for small businesses, or private customers who are new to Apple and may need a top 20 tips of things to do with the Mac. One of the key issues for me was the speed of response. Simon was in my office the next day to fix the problem, and then came back the following week to install some parts I needed. For those who don’t have the patience to wait, nor waste time talking to somebody at PC World who doesn’t know their head from their backside, you’ll find Simon’s service brilliant. No hesitation in recommending Simon to fix your Mac queries.”

Nigel U – Camberley, Surrey (NBU Consulting)
“I have no hesitation in recommending Simon. He responded to my request for help with a printer problem with great efficiency and we were up and running in no time! In addition he instigated a systems update and generally sorted a number of other niggling problems with the iMac that has made a positive contribution to the smooth operation of my business. Thank you!”

Peter C – Pirbright, Surrey
“I contacted a number of potential firms to get some on-site assistance with a persistent problem with Apple Mail. Simon’s initial approach was really prompt and professional and this continued throughout the process to finally agree a date.

When Simon arrived he was very friendly and professional and just got on with the job and sorted out a problem that had been plaguing me for nearly a year. He also provided great advice on antivirus software that was much appreciated and has saved me c£50pa. This approach of offering the best advice (which in this case meant that Simon’s visit was shorter and hence cheaper than it would otherwise have been) reinforces Simon’s approach and his integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone wanting excellent Mac support at home. I will certainly use him again for any future issues.”

Mike K – Kingston, Surrey
“Simon was recommended to me by a neighbour and he has successfully dug me out of self created holes on various occasions. He has also set up two new computers for me and they have worked perfectly from the start and continue to do so today.
Not only does Simon know what he is doing, he also has a fantastic professional approach, but more importantly he has a very easy and warm personality, which made me feel very relaxed and unafraid to ask as many questions (some stupid) as I wanted. I would and have recommended him to various friends.”

Stewart H – Weybridge, Surrey
“Simon has supported me twice, digging me out of 2 huge holes! Simon offers a home support service which suits my busy schedule. His knowledge and ability to fix any Apple issue thrown at him is excellent, I would not be able to write this review without Simon’s support! I would definitely recommend Simon to any Mac user seeking IT support for the home. Excellent service Simon, thank you.”

Pete L – Reigate, Surrey
“If you need help with your computer, Simon is your man. He listens to what you need help with, then carefully and respectfully solves the problems. He manner is patient and professional, so that you feel confident to ask for as much help as you need.
Would not hesitate to call him again.”

Jane L – Farnham, Surrey
“Simon was recommended to me by a colleague. I’d been having problems with my iMac and Macbook Pro for months and had taken it to Apple who had not been able to resolve the issues. Simon came over and explained the problems and sorted everything very efficiently. It was delight to have someone visit my house rather than have to take the computers elsewhere. I have recommended Simon already to friends.”

Kiran R – New Malden, Surrey
“Simon has done an excellent job improving our terrible broadband coverage. Our house has very thick walls and Simon was patience itself in setting up a series of devices to help spread the signal to other rooms: result is we now have Wifi where we didnt before.”

Suzanne P – Virginia Water, Surrey
“I found Simon friendly and very helpful, good at explaining things clearly and sorting out my Apple iMac! Would definitely recommend.”

Debbie L – Witley, Surrey
“I am very happy to recommend Simon. He has helped me and my wife with a wide range of computer and printing problems. He has done so very efficiently and was able to explain how to deal with a number of issues. Simon was recommended to us by friends and we are pleased that we called him in. We will be using him again.”

Jeff W – Guildford, Surrey
“I found Simon’s help tremendously useful and it resolved most of the problems I was having with my Mac. I would not hesitate in recommending him to my friends.”

Rama S – Guildford, Surrey
“Purchased my Apple iMac in May 2014 and struggled with a steep learning curve till I belatedly contacted Simon. I learnt more in a morning than I had in the last 10 months, and his courtesy and professionalism were exemplary. I now feel in control of the computer and Simon demonstrated some useful shortcuts. Cannot recommend him more, and I shall certainly contact him again whenever I find myself in deep water!”

Jeremy F – Woking, Surrey
“I contacted Simon when I moved from a PC running Windows to an Apple MacBook Pro. I had tried to set things up myself but had run into a number of problems. Simon was able to get everything working for me and during the process explained exactly what he was doing so that I knew how to maintain things going forward. He was also happy to share hints and tips to make my use of the Mac more effective. After the initial set up Simon tested things to make sure everything was working as expected before he left. Overall Simon’s service is excellent – he turned up when he said he would, he clearly explained the options and what he was doing, he was polite and courteous and he clearly knows Apple & Mac products inside out. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Simon.”

Nic H – Farnham, Surrey
“Simon sorted my MacBook e-mail problems, professionally and promptly, in my own home – and on a Saturday no less! His work was excellent value for money. I will recommend him to ALL my colleagues at work and have no reservations in recommending him to anyone who relies on a Mac laptop or iPad as he is super-knowledgeable and helpful. Many thanks for a great service!”

Kevin N – Guildford, Surrey
“Excellent, I can’t speak highly enough of the time, trouble Simon took with this anti-technology oldie. Absolutely delighted with his advice and help.”

Averil G – Guildford, Surrey
“Needed help with conversion from old Windows XP based system to an iMac. Simon just got on with the job, gave us good advice, fixed a few glitches immediately. He was at the end of the phone when needed, a calm professional guy and we left him in our home alone. We will continue to use his services, nice to be able to trust someone.”

Paul O – Shere, Surrey
“Simon’s service has been excellent – prompt, efficient and very effective. Simon has also managed to educate me along the way, which has also proved to be extremely useful. I can’t recommend him highly enough”.

David M – Tilford, Surrey
“Simon provides a first class service. He arrived promptly and managed to sort out both my MacBook and iPad, both of which were in a mess. He answered my never ending questions, explaining everything clearly. He spent a great deal of time making sure he had sorted out all of the problems, taking a lot of time unblocking my iPad which even Simon hit a new unknown problem with! Then because the iPad was not responding, even after payment, he stayed on to make sure it was working properly, which it was and still is! He refused to take payment for his extra time, which was considerable.
Simon provides the best computer support service I have ever had and as someone who relies on the professional for help in his area I’ve used a lot of different people for both home and business over the years. I will now always recommend Simon to everyone needing friendly, technical help, especially Mac users as he’s brilliant with Mac’s and very knowledgeable”.

Gail A – Guildford, Surrey
“I would highly recommend Simon to anyone needing mac or indeed any hardware/ software related help. He clearly has a huge amount of knowledge, is very prompt and professional in his service, and reasonable in terms of cost. His service doesn’t stop after he has left either, he is constantly available to provide follow-up support and assistance. Simon helped me set up a great home wifi network, set up my new iMac, so that it works seamlessly with my iPads, iPhone, Time Capsule, Apple TV etc – and is quite simply a really nice guy who is a pleasure to have around”.

Dan B – Pyrford, Surrey
“It is really good to have someone able to visit promptly and iron out all my iMac problems. I am an OAP and certainly not a computer buff. Simon is so patient and helpful, I would recommend him to anyone.”

Nancy H – Weybridge, Surrey
“Very speedy response. Simon was able to resolve our problems when changing from Windows to Mac with detailed knowledge of this process. He has since visited to resolve further issues in a speedy, efficient and friendly manner.”

David R – Worplesdon, Surrey
“Excellent service. Simon’s very professional and friendly. Gave very good advice and information especially as I had to send
my iMac to a 3rd party for further repair. Would happily recommend Simon’s services to my friends.”

Bryan E – Milford, Surrey
“We can’t recommend Simon highly enough. The excitement of purchasing a new MacBook Pro was dashed upon finding that the supplier PC World had unprofessionally and incorrectly transferred data from from my existing iMac including omitting to transfer many files. After waiting on their call handling system for an hour we gave up and decided to seek alternative advice.

Simon was extremely prompt in his response to our initial enquiry, was highly knowledgeable, gave us honest input and information and was a pleasure to have in our home. He left having gone above and beyond solving the issues and most importantly left us confident that everything we had asked for had been thoroughly completed.

We would not hesitate to call him again, no more PC World for us”.

Zoe & Tim M – Shalford, Surrey
“As the proud owner of a new Mac Pro and Eizo screen I thought all I had to do was plug in all my external devices from my old iMac and I would be ready to go, however, after a major meltdown I realised that I needed help! Simon was an absolute godsend and sorted out my mass of leads and transferred all my data successfully, getting everything up and running (despite encountering problems from the Apple site.) He was very patient and gave plenty of advice, staying late to finish the job. I will certainly be recommending IT@Home4U to friends and clients alike.”

Jo C – Richmond, Surrey
“Your work in setting up my new iMac was carried out with knowledge and efficiency…your patience and advice was really appreciated. I will be recommending your services to my friends.”

Peter F – Guidlford, Surrey
“You managed to get our 2 iPhones, iPad and iMac to work and sync with each other properly. Your patience was inexhaustible, you saved us hours of stress and time and your very reasonable fee was so well worth the money. We will call you back again when we need our Mac IT kit updating. Thank you for making it all so painless.”

Pamela & Paul K – Sunningdale, Surrey
“Great to have found someone who provides a fast, efficient and friendly service, particularly to those of us who are not computer buffs. Have already recommended him to friends.”

Brian R – Hindhead, Surrey
“Simon has a broad knowledge of Mac software as well as printers, wireless networks, iCloud sharing and music systems. He is responsive and quick with solutions. He keeps things simple, efficient and understands our needs well. Good service and I have continued to use him & will do in future. Recommended especially for home visits to resolve multiple issues.”

Kathryn W – Virginia Water, Surrey
“I cannot thank Simon enough for the prompt and invaluable help he has given us. I migrated onto PC from MAC many years ago and have previously attempted to return but the support did not exist to set up my husbands PC computer, various phones and printers etc. to make it a viable proposition for both of us. Frustrated with PCs I bought another MAC only to find that it had all changed since the early days but Simon was incredibly patient and set it up so well that the transition was painless. I never felt stranded if I ground to a halt because Simon would promptly either talk me through how to sort it out, or pop round if the problem couldn’t be solved over the phone. He never once made me feel stupid or out of touch, which appears to be the remit of so many computer retailers. His service is second to none”.
