IT Support in Swanston
Broadband not good enough for a property like yours? Starlink changes that. I install it regularly in Swanston and the surrounding area.
I'm Rob from Curly IT. Swanston is barely a village. a handful of exclusive properties tucked against the Pentlands, with a seclusion that's hard to believe is within Edinburgh's boundary. Broadband here can be challenging, but Starlink has changed that completely for a number of properties I've worked with in this area. I sort it all out. connectivity, home technology, everything. to the standard that homes like these deserve.
Home IT Support in Swanston
Properties in Swanston are exclusive and often large. and connectivity has historically been their one frustration. I assess what's available and find the right solution: Starlink is something I install often out here, and the difference in speed and reliability is transformative. I also help with mesh WiFi to cover large properties properly, new device setup, and any other IT issue that needs sorting. You won't need to explain it technically.
WiFi & Internet in Swanston
Most connectivity issues come down to a handful of the same problems. Wrong router placement. ISP-supplied hardware that was never designed for a larger property. Equipment that hasn't been updated in years. I'll identify exactly what's causing the problem and fix it properly, not work around it.
Mesh WiFi Systems
Whole-property coverage using Eero, Ubiquiti, or TP-Link Deco. Designed for homes where a single router simply cannot reach every room. I plan the layout, install the hardware, and configure everything before I leave.
Access Point Installation
Wired access points installed in outbuildings, home offices, garages, and garden rooms. A proper wired backhaul gives you reliability that wireless extenders simply cannot match.
Starlink Installation
I install and configure Starlink regularly in Swanston and the surrounding area. Ideal for properties with poor fixed-line speeds or unreliable ADSL. Dish positioning, cabling, and router placement all done properly.
Slow Broadband Diagnosis
Before assuming you need to upgrade your package, it's worth checking whether the problem is actually the ISP, the router, or the internal network. I'll tell you honestly what's causing it and what the most cost-effective fix is.
Computer Repairs in Swanston
I work on laptops and desktops from all manufacturers. Whether it's a cracked screen, a damaged charging port, software that has ground to a halt, or a machine that won't start. I give you an honest diagnosis before any work begins, and I 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 Swanston
Starlink-powered home cinema, whole-home audio, and smart home installations are very achievable in properties like Swanston's. I set everything up properly and leave nothing half-finished.
Home Cinema Rooms
Full design and installation of dedicated home cinema spaces. 4K projectors, laser displays, acoustic treatment, motorised screens, tiered seating, and full AV integration. I handle the technology end to end, 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.
Golf Simulator Setup
Full golf simulator installation. Launch monitor setup, projection screens, hitting mat, software configuration, and network integration. I work with the space you have and build a setup that performs properly.
Home Automation
Lighting scenes, motorised blinds, smart heating, security integration, and voice control. Systems that work reliably and are genuinely easy to use. I keep it practical rather than complicated.
TV wall mounting is available as part of any installation. For a dedicated cinema or media room, the mount is just the starting point.
Business IT Support in Swanston
Working remotely from Swanston requires a genuinely fast, reliable connection above all else. Starlink makes that possible. I can install it and set up the wider home office IT infrastructure to match.
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.
