Hi, I'm Chris – your Local, Independent PC Specialist.
Since 2013, I’ve been proudly serving customers in Shelton Lock, Derby, and the surrounding areas as a self-employed, independent PC repair technician and custom PC builder. Operating from my dedicated home workshop, I offer in-person services that are both reliable and cost-effective, benefiting from lower overheads compared to larger computer chains.
When you work with me, you’re not just another ticket number. You get a personal, one-to-one service where I take the time to listen and understand your specific needs. This direct approach avoids the jargon and upselling common elsewhere, ensuring you receive honest advice focused on providing the right solution for you, not just the most profitable one. Additionally, I provide remote support across the UK for many common PC issues.
Beyond repairs, I also focus on building custom PCs. Whether you need a high-performance gaming rig, a powerful workstation for creative tasks, or a reliable home office computer, I can design and assemble a system tailored precisely to your requirements and budget.
The process begins with a detailed consultation to discuss exactly what you want to achieve. From there, I help you select the best components from trusted brands, explaining the pros and cons of each choice with transparent pricing. Every build is assembled with meticulous care and undergoes thorough testing to guarantee stability and performance right out of the box.
In addition to hardware repairs and custom builds, I provide comprehensive IT support for both home users and small businesses. A slow or unresponsive computer can be frustrating, which is why I offer full system health checks and performance optimisation to get your machine running efficiently again. This includes cleaning out unnecessary files, managing startup programs, and providing thorough virus, spyware, and malware removal to secure your system.
If you’ve experienced data loss, I offer data recovery services for failing hard drives and accidentally deleted files, aiming to retrieve your precious photos and documents. This support also extends to resolving tricky email issues, tackling disruptive Windows Update problems, and performing in-depth diagnostics for PCs that fail to boot, applying a lasting fix to get you back up and running.
Understanding the urgency of tech issues, I’m available 7 days a week, including evenings. I know that for a small business requiring computer repair in Derby, PC downtime means lost revenue, and for a home user, it’s a frustrating disruption to daily life. My flexible hours are designed to work around your schedule, providing a convenient and responsive service when you need it most.
Whether you’re a small business needing immediate assistance or a gamer eager to get back online, I’m here to help. For local drop-offs, simply call, email, or book an appointment online.
Struggling with PC issues at home or for your small business?
Don’t let tech troubles slow you down. I offer dedicated remote IT support, available right across the UK, to help get your computer problems solved quickly and efficiently over the internet or phone. While I’m based in Shelton Lock, Derby, this support reaches you wherever you are.
I provide friendly, reliable solutions tailored to you. My aim is to offer prompt and effective service, getting your technology working efficiently. You’ll always deal directly with me, ensuring clear communication and a service that understands your specific situation. I’m here to make sense of the technicalities and find the best path forward for you.
Through remote support, I can help you tackle a wide range of PC problems directly. This includes troubleshooting software errors, fixing email issues, assisting with many virus and malware concerns, helping to optimize your system’s software performance, and providing guidance with software installations or configurations.
If your computer problem can likely be resolved online or over the phone, I’m here to assist, why not get in touch today.

Our PC was running extremely slow and was basically unusable and Chris was honest and fast at coming back to me and has repaired my PC for a very reasonable cost.
If your ever wondering whether to buy a new PC or see if your current one can be repaired. Give Chris a shout and go from there.
Simon, Derby November 2024.
Thank you so much 😊
I can't rate him any higher or I would, brilliant!
Chris explained what he believed the problem was and gave me the price of the repair, more than likely a new hardrive.
We arranged for the PC to be dropped of the following day.
After the PC was dropped off, Friday, I received a call confirming I would need a new hardrive and again confirmed the price for the repair. Chris thought it would take a couple of days for a new hardrive to be delivered and agreed to call me Monday.
I was surprised that on the Sunday morning I received a call to say my PC was ready for collection and collected it later that day. Brilliant!
Once home I struggled to connect to the WiFi and called Chris for some advice.
After instructing me how to reload the DLink used for the wireless WiFi Chris agreed for the PC to be returned and he would load it for me, which he did within 10 minutes.
Really pleased to have found Computer Rescue Derby as the service given was excellent!
Really pleased with how my PC is now performing as so much quicker.
Would definitely recommend giving Chris a call for any PC/ laptop enquiries and I would use again.
Chris did everything and more than I asked for. Really happy with the service & price.
Would recommend, 10/10.
We agreed a very reasonable price, he gave precise directions where I could deliver my computers, and advised that the data would be transferred to a remote hard drive (that he had also recommended from Argos) and said it would be available the next day - Sunday - which it was.
I cannot recommend Computer Rescue Derby too highly for what was a very efficient and hassle free service.
Thank you Chris, the data was mostly old Family photographs that I thought I had lost forever, and although the service you provided did not cost me very much, the photographs you recovered are priceless!
Will certainly be using in the future.
Instead of taking advantage of the situation I was advised that the difficulty of the repair would mean the cost of the problem would probably be more than replacing it for a new one.
Thank you so much for your honest opinion.
I would definitely contact again if I ever need a laptop/computer repairing.
Chris responded very quickly to our phone message and we dropped it off.He was able to diagnose and fix the problem quickly and kept us updated
He was very professional and very good value.
We would definitely recommend and use this company again.Thank you
Susan
Would recommend to a friend!
Thank you
Once I had fetched my fixed computer Chris was still prepared to remote access my computer and support me with the installation of my software and additional advice.
Chris offered to give further advice by telephone if I had an issue once home. He gave an excellent service, was professional, responsive and good value.
Will definately use him again and recommend him to others.
Thank you Chris
