Our rate for help at home, charged for the time we actually spend. The price you see is the price you pay. Includes the no fix, no fee promise.

£60per hour · business · + VAT

For business support, where the work is commercial and the cost of downtime is higher. Still below most local providers — and lower again on a support plan.

£5 to book any appointment. It's there to make sure a booking is real, it comes off your bill, and it's refunded if we can't fix the problem.

About VAT

IT Solution Architecture Limited is VAT registered. Home prices include VAT — what you see is what you pay, with nothing added at the end. Business prices exclude VAT, which is the usual convention and lets VAT-registered businesses reclaim it. Every invoice shows the VAT separately.

Many jobs have a fixed price

If what you need is on our fixed-price list, you pay that price rather than by the hour — so you know the cost before we start. The rates on this page are for anything not on that list.

What that means in practice

  • You pay £5 to book an appointment at a time that suits you. It's there to make sure a booking is real.
  • We arrive, diagnose the problem and tell you what is wrong.
  • Before we go any further, you know what it will cost.
  • The £5 comes off your bill — so an hour's work is £36 in total, not £41.
  • If we cannot fix the problem, the £5 is refunded in full.

Things worth knowing

  • Travel within our service area is included in the price, and the £5 booking fee comes off your bill.
  • Parts and hardware are quoted separately, and always agreed with you first.
  • We will tell you honestly if a repair is not worth the money.
  • Business work can be quoted as a fixed price for a project — just ask.

Need us regularly?

If you would rather have ongoing cover than pay by the hour, our support plans start at £15 a month for home users and £35 per user a month for businesses.
