What determines a quote

Home and small business work is quoted per job before we start. The price depends on:

  • The type of job and how long it is likely to take on site
  • The number of devices, users or locations involved
  • Any parts, hardware or third-party software that needs to be bought
  • Travel to locations outside our standard Melbourne service area (disclosed before we start)

If the scope grows, we ask you to approve any significant extra cost first.

What "Fast Response" means

  • Home users: same-day or next-day visits in most Melbourne areas. Book before 11am and we'll do our best to attend the same day.
  • Small businesses: priority scheduling with a 4-hour response SLA.
  • MSP partners: a 2-hour response SLA is available.

How "No Fix, No Fee" works

  • Applies to most standard repair and troubleshooting jobs.
  • If we can't resolve the issue, you aren't charged for labour.
  • If we identify the fault but can't fix it for reasons outside our control (for example failed hardware or a licensing issue), up to 1 hour of diagnostic time may be charged.
  • Parts or software bought on your behalf are still chargeable.
  • Doesn't apply to MSP partner work, retainers or project work.

Pricing FAQ

Questions About Cost?

Do you charge for on-site visits?

For home users and businesses there may be a small call-out fee depending on your location. We quote it upfront before we attend, and travel fees for locations outside our standard Melbourne area are disclosed before work starts.

Do you offer remote support as well as on-site?

Yes. We provide both on-site and remote support. Many problems are best fixed in person, but where a remote session can solve the issue we will tell you.

Are you available after hours?

Our standard hours are Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm (Melbourne time). If you need work outside these hours, mention it when you book and we will confirm availability and any extra cost before we start.

How is time billed?

Home and small business jobs are quoted per job before work begins, as a flat rate for simple fixes or hourly for complex work. MSP partner work is billed at $150/hr in 30-minute increments after the first hour. If the scope grows, we ask you to approve any significant extra cost first.

What if I need new hardware or software?

We explain what is needed and quote it before buying anything. We can source hardware for you. Parts and third-party software are charged in addition to labour and remain chargeable even when our no fix, no fee policy applies.

How do I pay?

Payment is due when the job is finished unless another arrangement is agreed in writing. We accept bank transfer, major credit and debit cards, and cash.
