Reviews of Kensington Computer

J. K.

Allen was extremely helpful and successfully restored my computer when it wouldn't boot. He made himself available on the day (at the weekend) and turned around the repair really quickly at a fair price. He also provided me with some very useful insight into the computer and recommendations for the future. I am very grateful for his help as he saved alot of data that I thought I had lost! Highly recommended

N. A.

Was initially quite sceptical since the business does not have a proper storefront. Its owner Allen operates from a flat on North End Rd and is also affiliated with a bigger computer workshop elsewhere in London. Allen diagnosed the problem with my computer's motherboard quickly and was very friendly. Price was also in line with other computer repair shops I called for a quote (around £40 for diagnosis).

S. D.

Really smooth and quick communication. Allen is very knowledgable in the field and after identifying the problem, he presented me with the possible options. He did a great job repairing my laptop and even cleaned it up from the insidde. He also suggested more improvements that can be made on my laptop.Thank you! Strongly recommend!

S. M.

Allen was efficient, lovely and very knowledgeable. His good reviews are well deserved as I feel he went above and beyond in repairing my laptop for me. Highly recommend if you are local and need help with any computer/laptop issues as Allen did not disappoint.

J. B.

Decided to contact Allen after reading the reviews and wasn't disappointed. In fact I was delighted! Allen is friendly, fast, trustworthy and professional. I had a black screen and he quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it within a couple of days. Would have been sooner but he had to obtain a part. His attention to customer service is faultless and at a very reasonable price. I would have no hesitation in contacting him again and will recommend him to anyone looking for a computer repair service. Thank you Allen 😊

V. E.

I called Allen after reading all the positive reviews here, and I couldn't be happier! He identified the problem with my laptop (broken charger port) right away, fixed it very quickly, and kept me updated at every stage. He was very friendly and informative with very reasonable prices. I will definitely go back for future repairs and recommend Allen to everyone I know!

D. W.

I went to Allen based on the reviews here. I had issues with Skype and in my infinite wisdom decided I could fix it myself. Needless to say I corrupted my hard drive & was faced with the legendary 'blue screen of death'! Allen managed to recover all my data and reinstalled Windows for me. For me his fee was very reasonable considering to replace my laptop would have been 10x more expensive at least. So many thanks Allen!! Your 5 star rating is well deserved.

R. D.

Allen helped recover the data on my faulty hard drive. He provided a fast service and was extremely helpful. The price was very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again or to recommend him to others.

A. P.

Excellent service Nice person tells true.trust worthy alan. Reliable price. And give guarantee as well no fix no charge. Alan is Computer doctor. 7 star services

J. A.

After reading reviews on here, I sent a text to the number provided enquiring about a screen repair on my laptop. A very friendly and professional guy replied (Allen), and after a few texts/phone calls, not only had he collected my laptop, but had repaired it and returned it, within only a few hours. Absolutely FANTASTIC service, and a really friendly guy as well. Really reliable and great value for money. Was the most reasonable quote i had received, and he did a wonderful job!!!! Thanks so much Allen! Highly recommended and will use again without hesitation, should I need your service!!

S. A.

Reliable, friendly service at a great price. Allen was very professional and so helpful and I would definitely recommend him and use him again in future. I called him on a Sunday to fix my computer and he was available just a few hours later. I had to go back a second time as Allen had to order in a part but there was no extra charge for the second visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, FRIENDLY SERVICE!

N. B.

Like other reviewers, I was initially hesitant to use an independent laptop repair service without a shop front and was very concerned about the chance of being scammed. However I needn't have worried, Allen was extremely responsive, safe and reliable, and provided great value for money and a fast turnaround over the weekend when I needed a new battery fitted and a general service. Would definitely recommend!

B. C.

My laptop needed re-installing windows and I decided to turn to someone near me and the nearest person/shop was Allen. He is a great guy and he fixed my laptop in no time at a great price as well. I'd recommend him to anyone who has an issue with their laptop / computer.

P. C.

I've gone to Allen several times for different computer repairs. He is excellent - he has fixed the problem on every occasion quickly, efficiently and permanently, and all for very low cost. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

G. S.

I had my laptop repaired by Allen. Allen was great at repairing my Toshiba satellite laptop and he kept me informed all the way. Plus he charged me a very reasonable price even though my laptop had several issues (motherboard, corrupt Windows). I am extremely satisfied with his service.

S. W.

I was a bit nervous about contacting someone off the internet, especially as I am rubbish with things like this and was a bit worried about getting fleeced. Picked Allen on the strength of the reviews - he was excellent - my laptop was picked up, fixed, and returned to me in one day! Fast, reliable, fairly priced and friendly, everything was explained to me so I knew exactly what was happening to my laptop. Would definitely use again and have recommended to my friends in the area.

T. T. S.

Allen is fantastic repairman. He was quick and ensured I was aware and happy throughout the whole process. He definitely goes above and beyond for his customers and is a fair price. Will definitely use him again in the future!

J. F.

Really good value and quick laptop repair. I brought Allen my Asus gaming laptop when the operating system got corrupted. For a fair price (much better than other prices I received) Allen fixed and upgraded my operating system, cleaned the entire internals and put new thermal paste on the graphics card. Definitely would recommend to others.

R. T.

Amazing service ! My Asus was not charging and they have replaced the pieces extremely quickly. I also repair a second laptop and it’s working perfectly. Everything was dealt in a promptly manner, I was updated regarding the progress and everything was done really quickly. I’m very grateful for the honesty and professionalism given. I had previous bad experiences with other shops, on this occasion , i was blessed. I definitely recommend and I will definitely use again these services.

O. W.

I first found Tooting Computer and Laptop Repairs via a Google search plus the positive reviews. When I spoke over the phone Allen had already identified the problem and kept me up to date at every stage, he was quick, professional and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely use his services again.

M.

I brought my Asus laptop to Allen last month as it was not connecting to the internet and its appearance had changed. Upon meeting up, Allen explained the possible solutions to the problem and prices. He then repaired my laptop in 2 hours: he repaired some corrupted files and installed the missing dll. He also made some additional tweaks to make it faster and keep it protected. The price I was charged seem fair to me - I had previously contacted a laptop repair shop where I was told the only solution would have been to replace the operating system and they would have charged me more than twice what it costed me to have it repaired by Allan. I am very pleased with this laptop repair experience and I will very likely contact Allen again in the future for any other laptop related problems.

S. B.

Allen did a great job repairing my laptop from water damage. He was friendly, fixed it fast and was very reasonably priced. Would recommend him to anyone and would definitely use him in the future.

M. H.

Allen did a great job fixing the fan issue with my laptop. He fixed the problem within the same day and charged me less than I was quoted. I would not hesitate to recommend all my friends in the area to go to Allen if they have computer issues.

D. G.

The hype is real! I had an issue with my laptop, and after reading the reviews, Allen seemed like the natural choice. He was quick to reply to my inquiry, and was accommodating with seeing me pretty late. He made me feel very welcome while he worked his magic, and he soon got to the issue (faulty keyboard). He was clear with his explanations, and let me know he's available whenever needed in the future. i really can't recommend him enough.

K. B.

Highly recommend. Knowledgeable and trusted PC repair specialist. Managed to source a replacement fan, which wasn't a stock item, for our office PC. Even repaired an unknown corrupted windows error. Cost was better than quoted elsewhere and certainly cheaper than a replacement PC. Thanks again for your great service!

S. M.

Laptop completely died with all my data corrupted, Allen got everything back running again, managed to retrieve all the data and threw in a general service to boot. Was kept up to date with progress and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely come to him in future for any tech issues.

A. W.

I decided to contact Tooting Computer and Laptop Repairs after reading all the previous excellent reviews. I was not disappointed. My Samsung tablet was stuck on the Samsung logo screen and would just stay there. Allen fixed it at very reasonable price. He kept me informed during the whole time and was extremely helpful and professional. I would recommend his services to anyone. I will certainly contact Allen again in the future.

B.

Really quick, efficient and reasonably priced job. Allen was super friendly, accommodating and didn't ask for a penny until the job was all done. Really glad I found tooting laptop repairs !

A. I.

Excellent rapid, high quality and good value service! I had a damaged USB stick with some important data which hadn't been backed up. Allen repaired the damage and recovered the data over the weekend. I have tried other repair and recovery services in the past and none has been as efficient. 100% recommended!

G. F.

My computer was constantly getting the 'Blue Screen of Death' and slowdowns but Allen quickly identified the problem, fixing both the hardware and software for a very reasonable price. Furthermore, he was always prompt with communication. If your computer needs repairing then do not hesitate to contact him.

J. B.

Spilt a glass of wine on my laptop, which then failed to turn on. I was worried that I had lost everything, but Allen was an absolute star - laptop is now good as new, and I paid a lot less than I was quoted at other places. Genuinely nice guy too, kept me in the loop about everything he was doing. Highly recommended!

S. S.

Allen worked so hard to recover my data from my SD card. A few weeks after my mum passed away I was desperate to get my data back. There were pictures and videos of memories ill never get back and Allen was so understanding. He worked hard and kept me updated. I cant recommend him enough. Give him a call and he will do anything he can to help.

M. S.

Whilst trying to upgrade the BIOS on my Dell Inspiron laptop, within Windows 10, I totally bricked it, dead, no lights, nothing. I found Tooting Computer and Laptop Repairs on the internet and Alan removed the BIOS chip, reprogrammed it and put it back together in under 24 hours, all at a reasonable price. A one man operation, in a private house, so no big overheads. I would definitely recommend him.

Z. A.

I was hestitating where to repair my expensive laptop, until I found the google page that has reviews about Allen, I had never tried to work with independent repair but the great reviews about Allen made me wanna try, and I am glad I considered this option. Allen is a very knowledgable person in every technical problem that devices have, he is very patient, reliable, thoughtful, and accurate. He always kept in touch with me to tell me about each of the steps that my laptop was going through. My laptop needed a specific screen cable that Allen bought from the internet after spending some time looking for options, he then bought a screen, he cleaned the motherboard, he put some resistor and light, until finally everything worked smoothly again. Now my laptop feels like brand new. The price that Allen proposed was really fair, he would even deserve more money thanks to his rigorous work. If I have considered repair shops, I am sure they would have charged me much much more than what Allen did. I highly recommend Allen for any problem that you have with your PCs, laptops, hard drives etc :)

J. L. B.

Allen helped me diagnose a problem with my crashed laptop and then recover my data off the dead hard drive. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you!

P. D.

Absolutely brilliant serivce, fixed it straight away and even gave the inside of the laptop a clean free of charge. Would recommend to anyone with a problem with their laptop. He says he can fix phones, tablets and games consoles too!

M. W.

Allen was very helpful and did a full service helping to narrow down what the problem was with my PCs motherboard so I could then get it replaced on warranty. Would definitely use his services again.

P. C.

I've gone to Allen several times for different computer repairs. He is excellent - he has fixed the problem on every occasion quickly, efficiently and permanently, and all for very low cost. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

K. B.

I came to Alan because my laptop screen would not come on. He fixed it whilst I was there, he was very friendly and explained what the problems were clearly. He didn't overcharge me, and my laptop is now working perfectly. Could not recommend enough!

T.

D. M.

K.

Allen was really nice and fixed my laptop at a really good price. Would definetly recommend and I never write reviews.

J. M.

I can't speak highly enough about Allen. He takes so much pride in his work and ensured that the issues I was having with my laptop were rectified properly. I highly recommend!

F. N.

Have always been a bit uncertain about taking laptops in for independent repair, but for a situation when it was needed I’m very glad to have found Allen via Google Maps. He did a top notch job on a faulty 2011 MacBook Pro for an excellent price, proactively kept in touch throughout the repair process, and comes across as someone who isn’t happy until the repair has been completed successfully. Hopefully won’t need too many repairs in future, but won’t hesitate to go back to Allen if needed! 6 stars if I could ;)

A. A.

Don't let the fact the fact the picture is just someone's house put you off. He did a great job of fixing my screen for a fantastic price. Didnt charge to even open the laptop and see if it could be fixed unlike some repair shops in Tooting...

J. P.

I took my Dell XPS 15 to Allen with a problem with the trackpad, a common occurance with this particular model. Allen was SO helpful and checked over the machine during the weekend so I could have it for work again on Monday. The issue with the loose trackpad is nearly completely gone (not 100% due to faulty manufacturing of the the casing, nothing Allen could do about it) but as it wasn't 100% fixed Allen didn't charge me for the repair. What a gent. I will 100% be calling Allen again in the future for computer fixes and issues. Highly highly recomend.

I recently had trouble with my ageing but hi-spec HP laptop, which was quickly diagnosed over the phone by Allen as most likely a damaged screen rather than anything too terminal. After some trial and error, a suitable replacement screen was used to repair the machine which is now working perfectly again. I trust it will give a few more years of life to my laptop. In this case the cost of repair only around a quarter of a new equivalent. Highly recommended!
