What to expect when you get in touch

There's no complicated process. I keep things simple, and I make sure everything is working before I consider the job done.

I fix and configure it

I carry out the repair, setup, or installation. Everything is tested and configured properly before I finish, not left for you to figure out.

You're shown how it works

Before I leave, I'll explain what I did and show you how to use everything. And if anything needs tweaking afterwards, I'm easy to reach.

Two things I'm particularly known for

These are areas where I go deeper than a typical IT visit. Both involve proper planning and a clean, finished result.

Slow speeds in certain rooms, calls that drop mid-conversation, devices that keep disconnecting. These are fixable problems. I assess your home, identify the weak spots, and install the right solution for your property.

  • ✓ Configured and tested before I leave
  • ✓ Ideal for home workers and larger homes

Why people choose Curly IT

There's no shortage of IT support companies. Here's what makes working with me different.

15+ years of experience

Trusted by families and businesses across Edinburgh for well over a decade. I've seen most problems before and know how to fix them properly.

Plain English, always

No jargon, no confusing technical explanations. I'll tell you what's wrong, what needs doing, and what to expect, clearly and honestly.

Done for you, start to finish

I don't drop off a list of instructions. Everything is set up, tested, and working before I leave. You just get to enjoy the result.

Local and remote support

Based in Edinburgh, I visit clients across the city and surrounding areas. For everything else, I can connect remotely and sort most issues the same day.

No fix, no fee

On most repairs and troubleshooting jobs, if I can't fix it, you don't pay. That's how it should be.

People come back, and refer friends

Most of my clients have been with me for years. That's not something you manage with an average service.

"I've worked with Rob for ten years. My business and family rely on him, from fixing 'unfixable' rural internet to setting up smart TVs, offices, and remote support. Everyone needs a Rob."

— Tony, Owner at TC Skip Hire
