How Remote Support Works

Is Elliott-IT-Services a remote-only service?

Yes. We provide IT support, cloud setup and cyber security entirely remotely via secure, encrypted sessions — no site visits, available to home users and small businesses anywhere in the UK.

Do you offer onsite visits?

No. Elliott-IT-Services is a fully remote IT support service — we don't carry out onsite visits anywhere. Everything is handled securely online, which keeps our rates lower and our response times fast.

Can you access my computer without permission?

No. You approve every remote session yourself, and access ends automatically as soon as the session finishes.

Do I need to install software permanently for remote support?

No. The remote support tool only runs temporarily during your session and requires no permanent installation. See how remote support works for full details.

Pricing

How much does IT support cost?

Home IT support starts at £50 per hour and business IT support from £75 per hour. There are no callout or travel fees since every session is delivered remotely. See our pricing page.

Are there any callout fees?

No. All support is delivered remotely, so there are no callout or travel fees built into the price — you only pay for the time spent fixing your issue.

Can I pay by card?

Yes, we accept card payments and bank transfer. Payment is due on completion of work unless a prior arrangement has been agreed.
