Computer & IT support in Skipton
Straight-talking tech help for homes and businesses in Skipton and the villages round about. Plain English, the price before the work, and no fix, no fee.
Skipton is busy with small businesses, and the villages around it are full of holiday lets, farms and people working from home — often on broadband that is fine in town and a lot less fine three miles up the road. Much of what we do around Skipton is about making a patchy connection dependable, and keeping guests' devices well away from your own.
What we help with in Skipton
Holiday lets and guest Wi-Fi
Guest Wi-Fi that works in every room, kept separate from your own devices, with a simple password card and a router that recovers by itself after a power cut.
Rural broadband that holds up
Getting the best from a slow line, adding a mobile or satellite backup for when it drops, and working out whether a new provider would actually be any better.
Farm and rural business admin
Making Tax Digital for VAT, online banking, government portals and accounts software — set up once, properly, so the paperwork side stops being a fight.
Town-centre businesses
Shops, offices and hospitality in the town: Microsoft 365, card-machine Wi-Fi kept apart from the customer network, and an IT setup that someone else understands too.

The Straight-Talking Promise
- Plain English, always. If we use a word you don't understand, that's our fault, not yours. Ask us and we'll explain it properly.
- The price before the work. You'll know what it costs before we start. If the job turns out bigger, we stop and ask you first.
- An honest "is it worth it?". If a new one would be cheaper than fixing the old one, we'll say so — even when it costs us the job.
- No fix, no fee. If we can't sort it, you pay nothing — no call-out, no diagnosis fee, no mileage. No matter what.
- A real person, not a call centre. You'll talk to the person who actually fixes it, and they'll remember you next time.
