Warranty / guarantee

Warranty is provided on repairs where appropriate (depends on the repair and parts used). Ask during booking and I’ll confirm what’s covered.

Deposits become non-refundable once diagnosis/testing has started, as this covers technical time and labour already completed. If special-order parts are purchased for your repair, those costs may also be non-refundable (unless faulty).

Built for the community. Backed by real skill.

I started Ctrl Alt Fix to support my family — and to help locals avoid replacing tech when it can be repaired properly for less.

Who I am

I’m Nathan. Every device is handled personally — no outsourcing, no rushed jobs, no guesswork.

I do board-level fault finding, HDMI work, thermal rebuilds, and proper diagnostics — plus custom gaming PC builds and upgrades.

You won’t be chasing updates. I communicate at every stage — and I speak the truth, even if that means saying it isn’t worth your money.

Excellent service! Nathan collected my laptop, kept in contact, and dropped it back off quickly. Really reasonable price & happy to support a local company 🙂

Toni Louise Jones

Excellent and fast service. Fixed my faulty Xbox Elite controller and had it back within a couple of hours. Highly recommend!

Chris Honor

Diagnosed and explained the issue quickly. Saved all my files and communicated throughout. Thorough service.

Chris Robinson

Diagnosed the issue and gave me a quote within 24 hours. Not worth repairing this time due to damage, but I’ll definitely be back.
