Hardware Upgrades Surrey
Breathe New Life Into Your Computer
Don't throw it away — upgrade it. Our £99 door-to-door SSD and RAM upgrade service can make a 5-year-old computer feel faster than a brand-new one. Collection across Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham. Data transferred, everything tested, 30-day warranty.
What Our Hardware Upgrades in Surrey Cover
We upgrade PCs, laptops and Macs across Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham — extending the life of your existing computer for a fraction of replacement cost.
Most computers slow down not because the processor is obsolete, but because the storage and memory that came with them were the minimum the manufacturer could get away with. A mechanical hard drive that took 60 seconds to boot Windows five years ago now takes three minutes. 4GB of RAM that was fine for 2018 browsing buckles under today's browser tabs and background apps.
The good news: these are the cheapest components to replace, and the transformation is dramatic. We've upgraded computers in Surrey that were on their way to the tip and given them another 3–5 years of productive life — for less than the cost of a single month's phone contract.

Why Customers in Surrey Book a Hardware Upgrade
Five common scenarios we see every week from Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham.
"My computer takes forever to start up"
If your PC or laptop was fast when you bought it but now takes several minutes to become usable, a mechanical hard drive is almost always the culprit. An SSD upgrade transforms this overnight.
"Everything freezes when I have lots of tabs open"
Chrome, Edge and Safari are memory-hungry. If you're running on 4GB or 8GB of RAM, upgrading to 16GB eliminates the freezes and stuttering.
"I don't want to spend £800+ on a new laptop"
You often don't need to. A £99 SSD upgrade (including collection and return) delivers more speed improvement than buying a brand-new budget laptop — and keeps all your files and programs intact.
"My games used to run fine but now they stutter"
A GPU upgrade in your desktop gaming PC can restore smooth frame rates without replacing the whole machine. We also upgrade cooling to match.
"Working from home is painful on this old laptop"
Zoom, Teams, VPNs and large spreadsheets all demand more memory than casual home use. A RAM and SSD upgrade makes working from home in Surrey genuinely productive again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hardware Upgrades in Surrey
Common questions from customers in Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham.
SSD upgrades start £99 service fee for a 250GB drive with installation and full data cloning included. Larger capacities: £99 service fee + the drive. We only fit premium Samsung, Crucial and Kingston drives with manufacturer warranties of 3–5 years. Call 07762 809301 for a quote on your specific machine.
Yes — dramatically. Replacing a mechanical hard drive with an SSD is the single biggest performance upgrade you can make. Typical improvements we see: boot times drop from 2–3 minutes to under 20 seconds, applications open 5–10x faster, and the general "sluggishness" completely disappears. We run before-and-after benchmarks on every upgrade at our secure base so you can see the difference in hard numbers.
If your computer is also running slow due to insufficient memory, combining an SSD with a RAM upgrade delivers an even bigger improvement.
If your computer slows down with multiple browser tabs open, freezes when switching between applications, takes ages to open large Excel or Photoshop files, or shows high memory usage in Task Manager, a RAM upgrade will help. We can check your current memory usage for free — just call 07762 809301 or WhatsApp us to arrange collection.
Most modern computers benefit from at least 16GB of RAM, especially if you work from home, use video calls, or edit photos and videos.
In most cases, yes. Most standard laptops can have their RAM and storage upgraded. However, some ultra-thin laptops (including recent MacBook Air models and certain ultrabooks) have soldered RAM and storage that cannot be upgraded — we'll tell you honestly if that's the case. For non-upgradeable laptops, we can often recommend external storage solutions or a repair that restores performance.
Yes — data cloning is included free with every SSD upgrade. Your Windows installation, programs, desktop, files and settings all transfer to the new drive so everything looks exactly the same when you boot up. Before cloning, we also create a safety backup of your important files as a precaution.
If you also need files recovered from a failing drive, see our data recovery service.
Most SSD and RAM upgrades are completed same-day if we collect before 11am at our secure base. Cloning a large drive can take a few hours, but the actual physical swap takes under 30 minutes. More complex upgrades involving GPU installation, PSU replacement or a full system refresh take 1–2 working days.
We can also collect from anywhere in Surrey — Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham — and deliver back free of charge.
If your computer is less than 7–8 years old, an SSD and RAM upgrade will often deliver more performance improvement per pound than buying a new one. We give honest advice — if a new computer is genuinely the better investment, we'll tell you straight away. There's no commission for us in either direction.
If your computer is also experiencing software issues, consider our virus removal or general PC repair services alongside the upgrade.
We upgrade older Intel-based MacBooks, iMacs and Mac minis with SSD storage where the design allows. Many pre-2020 iMacs and Mac minis have upgradeable RAM and storage, and the transformation is just as dramatic as on PCs. Recent Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3) cannot be upgraded internally as the storage and RAM are part of the processor package. See our Mac repair page for more details.
Yes — door-to-door collection and return within 10 miles of our secure Leatherhead base. That covers all of Ashtead, Bookham, Fetcham, Oxshott and most of Cobham. We collect your computer, perform the upgrade, test it thoroughly, and deliver it back to you fully set up and demonstrated. Call 07762 809301 to arrange.
All upgraded components carry the manufacturer's warranty — typically 3–5 years for SSDs and lifetime for RAM from premium brands like Crucial and Corsair. Our installation labour is covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty. If anything goes wrong with the upgrade itself, we sort it out free of charge. For more about our guarantees, visit our homepage.
