Pricing can vary dependent on a lot of different scenarios, but below is an idea of the costs for certain jobs. Full quotations will be provided before any work is carried out and if there are unforeseen complications or expenses during a job, I will of course get in touch with you to discuss the options.
Prices listed as From indicate the base price for the work carried out in our workshop and is based on the device being dropped off and collected by yourself.
If you require pickup and drop-off by DCS, there may be an additional carriage charge depending on your location (max £10) - this will be confirmed prior to work being carried out. Within 5 miles of Dereham no carriage charge will be incurred.
Please note: DCS do not currently have a commercial premises which is accessible to the public - repairs are carried out at a workshop based in a home. Drop off address details will be provided upon the booking of a repair.
Many jobs can be carried out in your home based on our hourly rate if you prefer, but some of the jobs listed below entail hours of disk scanning, testing or updating, and the only cost effective way to complete the job will be to perform the work required in our workshop.
