 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve Holcroft from Bluefish Computer Services is amazing, helped me remotely resolve few issues with my computer and improve my skill with certain IT issues and hardly charged me that much. Steve is honest, very good and efficient and cheaper than other IT/computer companies. I strongly recommend him.  Thank you Steve.  Hanaa Mew/Hampshire

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Laptop failed during a reinstallation of Windows 11 by a Microsoft Technician remoting into my machine in Saturday morning. Chaos ensued as It simply wouldn't load up and was stuck in a loop. I contacted Steve and explained what had happened and how I was up against a deadline as my job was changing and I needed it to be working asap. He got me to drop it off today and within 4 hours had fixed it completely and I now have a working laptop again and all for a very reasonable charge. Very satisfied and highly recommend Steve.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Bluefish Computer Services. Steve was incredibly helpful in tracking down some mislaid files that had gone missing during the setup of my new laptop. He was patient throughout the process and, in the end, I walked away not only with my files restored but also with a better understanding of the file structure. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

The most important step is to stop using the device immediately to prevent the lost data from being overwritten. Turn the computer off and get in touch with us as soon as possible. Whether it’s a clicking mechanical drive, a failed SSD, or accidentally emptied trash files, bring it into our Chichester workshop or arrange a collection so we can safely assess and attempt recovery.

In many cases, yes. Even if a laptop or desktop computer won’t power on or an external USB drive and memory card appears completely unreadable, the internal storage drive is often still intact. We use specialized diagnostic tools and extraction methods to safely retrieve your vital documents, photos, and business files.

We always recommend a multi-layered approach—often called the 3-2-1 backup rule—combining automated local backups (such as an external hard drive that backs up your files daily without you having to think about it) alongside a secure, encrypted cloud backup solution. We can set up and configure these automated routines for both home users and local businesses so your data is permanently protected against hardware failure or accidental deletion.
