Yes — we cover the full EH48 postcode area. That includes George Street, Hopetoun Street, Whitburn Road, Boghall, the Steelyard, the Whitburn Road end, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We repair every major laptop brand in Bathgate: Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, and more. Business-grade machines like Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude/XPS, and HP EliteBook/ProBook are also fully covered. If you're not sure whether your model is supported, just send us a message — almost all are.
Yes — sustained overheating shortens component life and, in extreme cases, causes immediate failure. The most common damage we see on Bathgate laptops: thermal-throttled CPUs (slow but not broken), GPU solder joints fatiguing on older models, dried thermal paste leaving zero conductivity, and bulging capacitors near hot zones. The fix is usually preventative — clean fans, fresh paste, sometimes new heat pads — done before damage progresses. Cheap insurance vs. a motherboard replacement.
We strip the laptop down to the heatsink, vacuum and brush out the fan and exhaust grille (where most of the dust accumulates), wipe off the old thermal paste, apply fresh high-quality compound (Arctic MX-4 or similar), and replace any heat pads that have hardened. For Bathgate customers it's typically a 1–2 hour bench job. Result: temperatures drop 10–20°C under load, fan noise drops noticeably.
Yes — even more than office machines. Gaming PCs in Bathgate typically run higher TDP CPUs and GPUs, accumulate dust faster (more case airflow = more debris drawn in), and benefit from preventative service every 12–18 months. We clean radiators, replace fan filters, refresh thermal paste on CPU and GPU, and check pump operation on AIO/loop-cooled rigs. For air-cooled towers it's faster; AIOs and custom loops take longer.
