Wi-Fi playing up? I can help.
Hi, I’m Neil. I run Wakefield Tech Help. If your Wi-Fi keeps dropping out or not reaching the next room, I can come round, check the setup and explain the options in plain English.
Devices falling off the network? Message me directly.
Local help when the technology in your home isn't behaving. Wi-Fi is what I get called about most, but I can also help with printers, smart TVs, doorbell cameras and slow laptops.
- Home visits from £49 — up to 60 minutes
- Wakefield, Ossett and Horbury plus nearby villages and areas
- Daytime, evenings and weekends by arrangement
What we help with
The things people usually ring me about
Wi-Fi and home networking are what I hear about most, but if your problem is not listed, it is still worth asking — plenty of jobs start with something that will not connect.
Wi-Fi and internet problems
Dead spots, drop-outs, buffering and internet that grinds to a halt.
Mesh Wi-Fi and home networking
Proper coverage in every room, including the awkward ones.
Smart TVs and streaming
Buffering, apps that will not load, and sound in the wrong room.
Smart-home devices
Plugs, bulbs, thermostats and speakers that actually cooperate.
Cameras and video doorbells
Ring, Tapo, Reolink and similar — fitted and set up properly.
Computers and printers
Slow laptops, stubborn printers and the small everyday problems.
Sonos, audio and device connectivity
Speakers and devices that pair, stay paired and sound right.
Garden offices and outbuildings
A solid connection at the bottom of the garden, not one bar.
More advanced home networking
For bigger houses and more demanding setups.
Also: small businesses · 3D-printed parts
The person behind the business
You deal with me, not a call centre.
I’m Neil. When you contact Wakefield Tech Help, I’m the person who replies and the person who comes out to help.
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell me what’s going wrong. I’ll check the setup, talk you through the options and be straight with you if something isn’t worth spending money on.
How it works
No jargon, no surprises at the door
Three simple steps, and you know the cost before I come out.
- 1
Tell me what is happening
Send a message, ring or email. Explain it in your own words — you do not need to know what is causing it.
- 2
We agree the cost
I will explain what I think is going on, what I would need to check and what the visit will cost before we arrange it.
- 3
I come out and take a look
I will work through the problem, explain what I find and show you what changed, so you know how things work afterwards.
Areas covered
Local, and I mean local
Not sure if I cover where you live? Just ask. It costs nothing to check, and I will give you a straight answer either way.

Pricing
£49to start
That is where a home visit starts.
You will know the price before I come out
What a job comes to depends on what it turns out to be. A single device that will not connect is a very different afternoon from wiring a network through a house.
Tell me what is going wrong and I'll explain what I think needs checking and what the visit will cost. If it turns out to be a bigger job once I am there, I'll talk it through with you before doing anything extra.
Get in touch
Tell me what is not working
A quick message is enough to get started. Tell me roughly where you are, what is going wrong, and when it started. I'll take it from there.
