IT Support in Currie
Computer running slowly in Currie? WiFi dropping out? I can usually be with you the same day. No fix, no fee.
I'm Rob from Curly IT. Currie sits along the Water of Leith between Juniper Green and Balerno — a mix of established homes, newer builds, and families who want technology that just works. Whether it's sluggish broadband, a laptop that won't start, or a WiFi network that doesn't reach the whole house, I sort it properly and explain what I've done in plain English.
Home IT Support in Currie
Currie has a real mix of properties — semi-detached family homes, bungalows, and some larger detached houses closer to the edges of the village. WiFi dead spots are common when a single router has to do the work of covering multiple floors or an extension. I install mesh systems that solve this properly, and I help with everything from setting up a new laptop to sorting out email problems, slow computers, and devices that have stopped talking to each other.
WiFi & Internet in Currie
Broadband speeds in Currie vary depending on your street and provider. Some areas have excellent fibre; others are still on older infrastructure. Whatever you're working with, I'll tell you honestly whether the problem is the line, the router, or the internal network — and fix whichever it is.
Mesh WiFi Systems
Whole-home coverage using Eero, Ubiquiti, or TP-Link Deco. No more dead zones at the top of the stairs or in the back bedroom. I plan the layout, install the hardware, and configure everything before I leave.
Router & ISP Setup
Switched providers and can't get it working? New router that nobody explained? I'll get everything configured correctly — including any ISP-specific settings that usually trip people up — and test it properly before leaving.
Starlink Installation
For properties near the Pentland edge where fixed-line broadband underdelivers, Starlink is an excellent alternative. I handle dish positioning, cabling, and router placement so you get the best possible speeds from day one.
Slow Broadband Diagnosis
Before assuming you need to pay more for a faster package, it's worth checking whether the problem is actually the ISP, the router, or the way your home network is set up. I'll tell you exactly what's causing it.
Computer Repairs in Currie
I work on laptops and desktops from all manufacturers. Whether it's a cracked screen, a machine that won't start, software that's grinding to a halt, or a charging port that's given up — I give you an honest diagnosis before any work begins and won't recommend replacing something that can be repaired.
Screen & Hardware Repairs
Cracked or broken laptop screens, damaged charging ports, faulty USB and HDMI sockets, failed keyboards, and physical damage. Most hardware repairs are completed quickly without needing to send your machine away.
Performance & Software
A slow computer is usually fixable without replacing it. Virus and malware removal, OS reinstalls, startup optimisation, and software conflicts resolved. I'll get it running properly and explain what caused the problem.
Data Recovery & Backup
Recovering files from failed drives, accidental deletion, or corrupted storage. Once recovered, I'll set up a reliable backup system so it doesn't happen again. Photos, documents, and business files handled with care.
Upgrades & New Setups
SSD and RAM upgrades that give an older machine a new lease of life. New laptop and desktop setup, data migration from your old device, and everything configured the way you actually use it.
Home Cinema, Audio & Smart Tech in Currie
Whether you want a dedicated home cinema room, a multi-room audio system, or a smart home setup that actually makes daily life easier, I handle the technology end to end. Installed properly, once, with no loose ends.
Home Cinema Rooms
Full design and installation of dedicated home cinema spaces. 4K projectors, laser displays, acoustic treatment, motorised screens, and full AV integration. I handle the technology from first conversation to final handover.
Multi-Room Audio
Sonos and Russound whole-home audio systems. Music in every room, controlled from your phone or a wall panel. I design the system around your home, install it neatly, and set it up so it's simple to use from day one.
TV Wall Mounting & AV Setup
TV wall mounting with cables concealed, soundbars and AV equipment connected, streaming devices configured. A tidy, professional finish that works reliably rather than a collection of dangling cables.
Home Automation
Lighting scenes, smart heating, security cameras, voice control, and motorised blinds. Systems that are genuinely easy to live with — I keep it practical rather than complicated.
TV wall mounting is available as a standalone job or as part of a larger AV installation. Either way, the result is the same: a clean, professional finish.
Business IT Support in Currie
A number of Currie residents work from home, either full-time or on a hybrid basis. I help with reliable home office setups — fast, stable connectivity, Microsoft 365, encrypted backup, and anything else that makes serious remote working genuinely dependable rather than a daily battle with technology.
Managed IT Support
Monthly support contracts for small businesses that want reliable IT without the cost of an in-house team. Proactive monitoring, regular maintenance, and a single point of contact for everything technical.
Microsoft 365
Setup, migration, and ongoing management of Microsoft 365. Email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive configured properly for your team. Licences managed without you having to think about it.
Network & Security
Business-grade networking, firewall configuration, secure remote access, and endpoint protection. Cybersecurity that actually protects the business, without overcomplicating things for the people using it.
Video Conferencing & AV
Meeting room AV and video conferencing using Teams or Zoom. Proper cameras, microphones, and displays that make remote meetings work the way they should. Hardware procurement and installation included.
