IT Support in Pretoria
On-site IT support across Pretoria — repairs, networking and installations for homes, home offices, professional practices and businesses.
IT support for homes, practices and businesses
Pretoria’s premises are unusually varied. Large older houses with thick walls in the older suburbs, dense student accommodation around Hatfield, professional practices, embassies and diplomatic residences, and industrial operations out at Silverton and Rosslyn. The faults differ accordingly — a WiFi problem in a 1950s house is a materials problem, not a router problem. We come out, diagnose, and quote the fix before starting.
Where we work in Pretoria
The building stock changes sharply from suburb to suburb.
Older suburbs and larger homes
Thick walls, extended layouts and outbuildings. WiFi that reaches the lounge but not the study is almost always a physical coverage problem — the fix is access point placement, and sometimes cabling to an outbuilding rather than another repeater.
Hatfield, Menlyn and the east
Dense residential and student accommodation around the university, plus professional practices and small offices. High device counts on a single connection, and networks that have to serve several tenants cleanly and separately.
Embassies and diplomatic residences
Properties where access, discretion and process matter. We work to the requirements the property sets, and we are used to coordinating access in advance rather than arriving unannounced.
Silverton and Rosslyn industrial
Automotive and manufacturing environments. Equipment that runs in a workshop needs different protection and power backup from office equipment — and downtime is measured in production, not convenience.
What actually breaks in Pretoria
Coverage, older wiring and power stability account for most calls.
WiFi that cannot get through the walls
Common in older Pretoria houses and in buildings with steel or dense masonry between rooms. The honest answer is often that a single router will never cover the property, and that the right solution is cabling to a second access point rather than adding more repeaters.
Several people or tenants on one connection
Student accommodation, shared offices and multi-generation homes where everyone competes for the same line. Separating networks properly — so each group is isolated and prioritised — fixes more of this than a faster package does.
Power interruptions and equipment damage
Load shedding and unstable power shorten the life of drives, power supplies and network equipment. UPS sizing for the equipment that matters is one of the cheapest long-term protections available.
Home offices that outgrew a laptop and a router
A practice run from home needs reliable calls, printing, secure file access and backup. That is a small, well-defined setup — not the same as a corporate network, and it should not be priced or specified like one.
What It Costs
The same rates apply everywhere we work — there is no city surcharge and no travel fee.
The part that matters:If you approve the repair, the diagnosis time is credited toward the job — you don't pay twice.

How It Works
Tell us the problem
Describe what is actually happening — not what you think is broken. We will tell you if it sounds like something remote can fix.

Fix, test, explain
The work is done and tested before we leave, and we explain what went wrong so it does not surprise you twice.
Computer Support
PC and laptop repair, diagnostics and custom builds — dropped off or done on site.
Network Support
Office WiFi, switching and structured cabling designed around the space.
Business IT Setup
Moving office or starting a new site — the network, workstations and printing set up properly.
Business IT Support
Month-to-month support for businesses that do not need a full-time IT department.
Pretoria Questions
Do you cover both sides of Pretoria?
Yes — the eastern suburbs, the CBD and the industrial areas at Silverton and Rosslyn. If you are further out, tell us where and we will confirm whether we can reach you.
Our WiFi does not reach half the house. Do we need a new router?
Usually not. In older Pretoria houses the problem is wall material and distance, not the router. A single well-placed access point, cabled back to the router, generally solves it. We check before recommending any purchase.
How quickly can you get to Pretoria?
Standard on-site visits are next business day. Remote support is typically within 4 hours, and phone or WhatsApp enquiries are answered within 2 hours during business hours.
Do you work with embassies and diplomatic residences?
Yes. We are used to working to property requirements and to arranging access in advance rather than arriving unannounced.
Can you set up a home office properly?
Yes — this is a common Pretoria request. A reliable connection, a second screen, a printer that works, secure access to work files and a backup. It is a defined job, quoted up front.
Do you service workshops and industrial sites?
Yes. Silverton and Rosslyn work is typically industrial or automotive, where equipment has to survive its environment and power backup is sized around production rather than convenience.
Tell Us What Is Not Working
We'll get back to you within 2 hours during business hours.
