I cannot praise Andromeda Solutions highly enough. They came to my home to repair my desktop PC. I was visited by George and Jarred who were both very knowledgeable, thorough in their work, professional, polite and respectful of my home and property. Really... nice people and a pleasure to have in your home.In the end, because of the age of my PC, it was not possible to repair it. This was discussed with me by the company who were extremely honest. To their credit, Andromeda Solutions honoured their company policy and refunded me the amount I had paid for the repair immediately and without issue. The director that I spoke to on the telephone was extremely understanding and sympathetic.I cannot recommend this company highly enough to anyone, individual or a company, seeking PC repairs of any kind. Absolutely terrific service.read more

Can't speak highly enough about this service. I managed to let my anti virus software lapse and got a nasty virus. Despite updating I was still having issues. I contacted Andromeda on a Sunday and was amazed to receive a response immediately. They would... have solved my issue at that time remotely but I had other things on. Instead, amazingly they solved it at 8 am the following day which only happened to be the funeral day of HRH QE2. Absolutely amazing efficient customer service. As I work from home my laptop is vital for my work. But that's not all they went on to notice a slight issue I was having with my emails and as added value solved that too. Thank you so much.read more

I asked Peter from Andromeda to quote for some home networking work I wanted doing. Peter advised me against the expensive solution I thought I needed and proposed a system that met my requirements and saved me hundreds of pounds. This speaks volumes about... Andromeda’s customer focus, integrity and ethos.Ryan installed and set up the system for me. He was highly professional, friendly and a great ambassador for the firm. I encountered a technical issue a couple of days later which Ryan quickly sorted over the phone and without charge.I’ve no hesitation in recommending Andromeda based on my experiences to date.Thank you chapsread more

We have been working with Peter and his excellent team for just over 3 years, for our general tech setup, system and hardware upgrades, or for when things simply go wrong for no apparent reason. On a recent Friday afternoon, our ISP took down all of our... servers, effectively shutting down our business before an important trading weekend. After a brief call, Peter had left his desk, and within 40 minutes was in our back office working on a solution. Within 90 minutes we had a long overdue server upgrade fully operational, with all of our systems back online. As a small start up business, we don't have the resource for an internal IT department or specialist. However Peter and his team provide a turnkey bespoke solution that far exceeds anything we could ever establish in-house, for a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended.read more

Their engineer certainly 'knew his way' round Officejet.read more

I finally gave up and starting looking for a company that would come to the house and fix it. Andromeda Solutions not only answered their... phone but set up an appointment the next day. Peter came to our house and was a computer wiz! He figured out the problem and fixed it within 20 minutes and then proceeded to fix all of the other little things that we could never figure out.

My laptop had just passed its guarantee and the firm I bought it from did not want to know about my problems. I saw Andromeda on the web site when I put my post code in looking for repair specialist, They had good reviews so I gave them a ring. Peter... Summerhill answered and said he would normally be able to come straight away but was very busy.So we settled on a time and date to suit both of us. He rang me when he was on his way and on arrival was very friendly. He soon found the problem and also cleaned out all the sites I never use while also giving it a health check. All this in just 35 minutes and at a reasonable price. I would recommend Andromeda to anyone I do not think I have ever had such good and friendly service and I am 72 years Young.read more
