Richmond is the most Mac-heavy area we cover — full of media and creative professionals editing, designing and producing, often on machines stuffed with project files and running at the limit of their storage. When one goes down mid-project, "leave it a week" isn't an answer, so we bring console repair to your home studio or office; HDMI ports with no picture, overheating shutdowns, charging-port faults and drifting controllers are the jobs we are called out for most.
We cover Richmond, Kew and St Margarets with a fully mobile service — a fixed quote first, no callout charge, and our No Fix, No Fee guarantee.
We repair Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED — so the first step is a proper diagnosis to confirm whether the fault is a port, the power system, thermals, or storage.
The Nintendo Switch fails in ways the home consoles do not, because it is the only one that gets carried around and plugged in several times a day. The single most common fault we see is a worn USB-C port: the console charges intermittently, then only at a certain angle, then not at all. That is a port replacement, not a new console, and the Switch Lite and OLED are the same job. Docking problems are the other pattern — a Switch that works handheld but gives no picture on the TV is usually the dock or its cable rather than the console, which is worth establishing before anyone opens anything. Cracked screens, dead batteries and water damage are all repairable too, and your games, saves and Nintendo account are untouched throughout.

Across Richmond, the console repair calls we get most often involve HDMI ports with no picture, overheating shutdowns, charging-port faults and drifting controllers — though we are called out for plenty more besides.
Storage is the recurring Richmond theme: drives that are full, drives that are failing, and external drives full of footage that have stopped mounting. A lot of our work here is recovery and upgrade rather than classic breakage — getting the data off safely first, then making the machine fast enough to work on again. The creative machines also run hot: MacBook Pros that throttle, fans that never stop, and thermal problems from years of rendering, often a clean and a repaste rather than anything dramatic. We do the usual too — screens, batteries, liquid damage — but Richmond skews toward keeping a working machine working rather than resurrecting a dead one. If you're mid-project and something's going wrong, call before it fails properly; it's a much better conversation than the one after.
Agreed upfront before we touch your device. No surprises.
Richmond is a slightly longer run from New Malden than our KT-postcode areas, but there's still no callout charge and same-day is usually workable if you call before 2pm. Parking in Richmond town and around the Green is genuinely hard and largely permit-controlled, so we'll sort access with you at booking; if you're in a studio or shared office we'll come to the desk. Evenings and weekends are no extra charge, which tends to suit a freelance schedule better anyway.
No shop drop-off. We travel to your home or office in Richmond at no extra charge.
Most repairs done on-site within the hour. Book before 2pm and we aim to visit the same day.

A 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro in Richmond was shutting down mid-work with a battery service warning. We fitted a new genuine Apple battery and cleaned the clogged fans.

Unexpected shutdowns, loud fans, and heat warnings are often a maintenance problem before they become a hardware failure.
