Clive Butchins, our proprietor, has been working with computers full time for most of the last 25 years and what he doesn't know, he can find out!

Data loss is a very real danger for small businesses today. Hard disks - the component that stores data on a computer - are one of the few items that have moving parts, and they are made to an extremely high level of precision. This makes them vulnerable to both physical abuse - such as being dropped - and to interruptions in power supply. If you lose your data because your hard disk fails will you be able to retrieve it? Will your business survive? Will you have lost irreplaceable family photos?

Recovering data from a failed hard disk can be very expensive. We are experts in supplying effective solutions to protect both your data and equipment. Why not give us a call today, before it is too late?

For some useful tips to speed up your PC if it is running slowly see this. One thing to be careful about: when you defragment a disk is if the power goes off you can corrupt the whole disk. Please ensure you are using either an uninterruptable power supply or have a current backup of all your data!

For your convenience we now accept payments online.

News: We now offer a hard drive upgrade/replacement service for Sky plus Digiboxes.

Clive came at very short notice to visit my nearly dead PC and, after a major operation and some excellent after care, has brought it back to life ! Not only that, but he managed to transfer some precious data to its new hard drive , which eased my mind considerably! He has also been extremely kind in answering my naïve questions about the patient`s recovery. I can thoroughly recommend him.

Clive has been extremely helpful as my personal computer felt like it was on its last legs and upon leaving my PC with Clive for a day, he cleaned it up. Clive also installed the latest antivirus and spyware programs on the pc and it has run very smoothly ever since. I find that Clive takes the time to explain exactly what work has been carried out and also provides a summary of this work. I would certainly recommend Clive for any computer or network related issue as he has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience.

I have been using Elstree-IT for a couple of years now to maintain my SOHO network, and have always found them to be most responsive to my needs and to carry out the required work in a most efficient and timely manner.  Many of my problems are self-inflicted, but they never hold that against me.  The remote support is brilliant and provides for a speedy and effective service. I would not hesitate to recommend Elstree-IT.
