PROFESSIONAL IT ENGINEER
I'm David, the founder and engineer behind Chiltern Computers. Since 2007, I've been repairing, upgrading, and supplying computers and laptops, and I've helped thousands of satisfied customers across Romford and nearby areas.
My goal is simple: to offer friendly, honest, and affordable computer services — without the jargon. Whether you're a home user, student, or small business, I provide professional support tailored to your needs.
From fixing a slow laptop to building a high-performance gaming PC, I handle every job personally with care and precision. I also offer a local collection and return service across Havering and Essex.
I provide virus removal, data recovery, and new and refurbished PCs — all with a £20 diagnostic check — waived if you go ahead with the repair.

RECENT REPAIR STORIES
Laptop wouldn't boot — data recovered, SSD upgraded
Client: Home user, Hornchurch · Device: HP Pavilion (2019)
Customer brought in a laptop that wouldn't get past the Windows loading screen. Diagnostic revealed a failing mechanical hard drive with bad sectors. I recovered all photos, documents, and work files onto an external drive, then cloned the recoverable data to a new 512GB SSD. Reinstalled Windows, restored their files, and the laptop now boots in under 15 seconds.
Result: Full data recovery + 10x faster boot time. Cost: £95 (inc. SSD)
Business network down — remote office back online same day
Client: Small business (3 staff), Harold Hill · Issue: No internet, WiFi dropping
A local accountancy firm called at 10am — their internet had been intermittent for a week and finally died. I visited on-site within the hour, diagnosed a failing router and incorrectly configured DNS settings from their ISP. Replaced the router, configured a proper network with separate guest WiFi, set up automatic backups to a NAS drive, and had all three workstations back online by 2pm.
Result: Same-day fix, zero data loss, reliable network. Cost: £80 (exc. router)
