Hard drive upgrades and cloning services

With the amount of data we generate and need to store today it is easy to fillup hard drives. Perhaps you need more room for photos and videos or you are running software with large output files. Whatever is the case AN computers provide a fast and efficient service. When a hard drive is replaced with a new larger HD the most important factor is that you do not lose any of your existing data. We use a process known as cloning to transfer all your data over to your new larger hard drive. Everything stays the same apart from the increased capacity! The cloning process begins with the test of your existing hard drive to look for any bad sectors that could complicate the cloning process.
Pricing for upgrade service:
Cost of new Hard drive
£35 fixed price after test

The first hour of our repair services are charged at £25 + vat. If the repair is completed within that first hour then all you are charged is the £25 + vat. For repairs that are likely to take longer, the initial hour is used for basic diagnostics and report back purposes. In otherwords we spend the first hour ascertaining the exact nature of the problem, how long it is likely to take to fix and if any parts are needed. We then report back to you the customer with our findings in order to provide a detailed estimate of likely costs. Should you the customer decide that the repair is uneconomical then you can collect your computer and estimate report and recieve no further charges. Should you decide to proceed with the repair based on our estimate our charges are £50 + vat per hour plus any parts. Our pricing system is based around making charges as transparent and cost effective as possible for you the valued customer. The table below gives a further idea of typical costs:
