Sean is a Superhero! Everything is dealt with quickly and efficiently and nothing is too much trouble - however minor or major.
I have been using Spencer Micro for over 10 years for both business and personal IT issues and Sean is a Superhero! Everything is dealt with quickly and efficiently and nothing is too much trouble - however minor or major. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Sean went above and beyond at short notice to fix my teenage son's gaming PC when he had issues installing a new CPU and graphics card over the Christmas period. Sean is knowledgeable, clearly very experienced and a super nice guy. Can't recommend highly enough!
Sean was able to resolve a long list of issues we had identified with our email system and other related problems with the computer. From the outset he inspired a calm professional confidence that was completely justified, as he worked through the various issues. He was polite, explaining everything he was doing in a language even I could understand. He resolved all our issues and charged a very reasonable fee. We are delighted with his work.
Sean a superstar. Advice on which new laptop to purchase, moved large volume of data from old laptop to new. Ensuring all security needs met. Very quick turnaround as my adult daughter has Aspergers so finds it very stressful to be without her laptop. Have used Sean before and will again. Great service from start to finish.
I contacted Spencer Micro after reading many positive reviews and recommendations only. Sean responded swiftly and efficiently and whilst concluding that my laptop hardware could not be upgraded, he was able to connect remotely to investigate my issues and promptly found a solution. After years of struggling with performance issues, my laptop is like new again! Excellent service, thank you so much!
Excellent service, very knowledgeable and kept me informed of progress. Sean helped with the issues we had with our gaming computer, he suggested hardware and explained simply or choices.
Cloned my old computer, running Win 10, to new computer, running Win 11. Numerous applications with a dozen COM port settings. Absolutely perfect result with no complications whatsoever. I have used Sean on many occasions and can't recommend him too highly.
Sean replaced a broken screen on my laptop, communication was excellent and the repair good value. As far as customer service goes Sean truly went the extra mile - I'll definitely be using Spencer Micro again.
Sean did an amazing job to fix a very overheated PC. I would thoroughly recommend anyone needing PC support, repairs or builds to contact Spencer Micro Ltd. Sean will be my immediate port of call when I next upgrade my PC. Thankyou!
Excellent service! Fast, reliable, friendly, absolutely 100% satisfied.
The things people ask before they call.
If your question isn't here, just ask. We'd rather answer it than have you guess.
What areas do you cover?
Spencer Micro is based in Towcester and covers Northamptonshire and the surrounding villages. Remote support reaches anywhere with an internet connection, so a lot of problems get fixed the same hour without anyone travelling. For hardware faults, networking and anything that genuinely needs hands on the machine, we come to you.
Do you support home users, or only businesses?
Both, and they're treated the same way. Businesses tend to want ongoing support, Microsoft 365 management and someone who knows their setup. Home users usually come to us with a specific problem: a machine that won't start, a slow laptop, a broken upgrade, a suspicious email. Neither gets bumped to the back of the queue because of the other.
How quickly will someone get back to me?
Our average response time is under an hour during business hours, which are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. If you're already on a call with us, the remote support link on our homepage gets us onto your screen in about a minute.
What does it cost?
Every job is quoted before any work starts, so you know the figure in advance and there are no surprises on the invoice. Costs vary enormously between a ten-minute remote fix and a full network rebuild, which is why we'd rather look at your actual situation than quote a number that turns out to be wrong. Get in touch and we'll tell you what it takes.
Can you fix things without visiting?
Very often, yes. Anything that lives in software (Windows problems, email and Microsoft 365, printer setup, malware, slow performance, configuration) can usually be handled remotely while you watch what we're doing. You only need an internet connection and to run the remote support tool. Hardware failures are the main thing that still needs a physical visit.
How long have you been doing this?
Spencer Micro Limited was incorporated in 2010, and Sean Spencer has been working hands-on in IT for over 35 years before and since. That covers everything from business networks and servers to home PCs, which is why we're comfortable with older kit that other people won't touch.
Do you handle Microsoft 365 and cyber security?
Yes, both. Microsoft 365 work covers migration, licensing, mailbox and account management, and locking down the security settings that ship switched off by default. Security work covers reviewing what you've actually got exposed, prioritising what matters, and putting sensible protection in place rather than selling you a product you don't need.
Do you build custom PCs?
We build custom gaming PCs to spec, and we upgrade existing machines where it makes financial sense. If a machine isn't worth spending money on, we'll say so rather than take the work. That's usually the more useful answer.
How do I get started?
Call 01327 635 160, email helpdesk@spencermicro.co.uk, or use the contact form on this site. Tell us what's going wrong in plain English. You won't be asked to describe your problem to a script.
