What I do

Help with the things that keep going wrong

Whether it's one stubborn laptop or a whole office network, you get the same thing: a clear explanation of what's wrong, what it costs, and what I'd do about it. Call about a single problem or an ongoing hand. Both are fine.

About

Hi, I'm Mike

I'm a senior network engineer, and have been for close to two decades, looking after the networks and security of large organisations, the kind of systems that simply aren't allowed to go down.

IT With Mike brings that same enterprise-level knowledge to homes and small businesses locally. You get someone who has seen the problem before, fixes the cause rather than the symptom, and tells you what's going on in words that make sense.

No call-centre scripts, no talking down to you, and no work starting before you know what it costs.
