Well, it’s a Walk-In Surgery at Catford Bridge, plus an appointment-based clinic in East Dulwich. Computer ‘N’ Mobile also do a Paramedic Repair service and a postal/courier repair service.

When you don’t come to us, we come to you. One of our “paramedics” will repair your home or office (socially distanced, of course).

So it’s not just your iPhones & Samsung Galaxy phones. We also fix iPads, Huawei Tablets & phones, Samsung tablets, traditional Laptops, OnePlus phones, gaming laptops, Oppo, Blackberry, LG, HTC, Motorola, Nokia phones, Macbooks, Asus tablets and laptops, Acer, and so many more across a wide range of manufacturers.

Broken screens account for around 60% of our repairs. Still, there are also battery replacements, charging port repairs, antenna faults, software issues, audio repairs, motherboard repairs, data recovery, and liquid damaged devices.

We have seen it all; water, wine, milkshake, olive oil, hot chocolate, damage (and worse). You think of it, we’ve seen it!

Not always, some phones are too severely damaged, and we’re not magicians. However, with our team’s skill set, there’s a good chance nobody else can if we can’t fix it.

No. There’s nothing to pay with our no-fix, no-fee guarantee if we can’t complete your repair. We don’t charge to diagnose, so you’re in complete control.

Different for each scenario, but most common screen replacement and battery repairs can be completed in under an hour. For an iPhone 6S battery repair, our record time is under 20 minutes (including testing).

With all our repairs, while we want to fix your device as quickly as possible, our priority is to get the repair right the first time.

Yeah, by default, our repairs have a 3 months warranty, unless otherwise advised physical and liquid damage. Battery replacements & certain other repairs will have a 3-months warranty.

Quite deliberately not! We learned very early on that we can’t trust manufacturers and networks. They don’t care about looking out for you, it’s just profits and numbers, and we don’t want to be part of their cynical mafia.
 
Sure, we’re running a business, and we want to make money out of you, but it’s essential for us to be fair, and that’s why we’re proudly independent. It means we don’t have to follow a manufacturer handbook or buy parts only from limited official sources and lets us be creative in how we approach repairs. This means we put your interests before the manufacturer’s profits, and that’s why we’ll never compromise on our independence.
We’re deliberately independent! This means that we’re not part of any manufacturer accreditation programs, so we don’t buy our parts directly from Apple, Samsung or Huawei, etc. This doesn’t prevent us from buying original Service Pack parts or refurbishing original displays in-house, which we do for most of the Apple screens we use.
 
However, some manufacturers (especially Apple) will not recognise independent 3rd party service centres to monopolise repairs. As a result, some devices will display messages advising that parts cannot be confirmed as genuine. This will be the same if using original or generic parts.

We appreciate why giving us access to your device might make some of our patients uncomfortable, but we cannot test during the repair process without it thoroughly.
 
For example, we may have a Samsung device for a screen repair, and everything else seems to be working fine before the repair. However, during the repair process, it may be that a speaker fault manifests itself, which we need to compensate for.
 
Of course, if you don’t wish to give your passcode, we’ll still try to undertake the repair, but it means that we won’t be able to test thoroughly and that we may need to modify later for any undetected faults.
 
Rest assured, our GDPR obligations fully protect your data.
We won’t wipe your data unless necessary and not without your prior consent. For the majority of our hardware repairs, data is not impacted. Only for specific firmware and baseband repairs do we need to wipe data. We always advise the need to do this beforehand, to allow backup beforehand.
 
If your device is not powering on or the firmware has crashed, your data has likely been lost; in this scenario, we’ll advise accordingly.
