Details
TL;DR: We come to you within 20km of Stellenbosch. The surcharge covers travel and logistics; actual work is billed at normal rates.
Local: Common for homes in Welgevonden/Die Boord, SU student houses in Idas Valley, and Technopark offices that can’t spare a trip to our bench.
When on-site makes sense
- No internet, so remote help won’t fly
- Mesh Wi-Fi planning, printer placement, tricky cabling
- Business devices that must stay on the premises
- House layouts where a walk-through matters
How it works (at a glance)
- Quick chat: goal, address, and parking/gate details
- Quote: confirm the on-site surcharge and expected labour
- Visit: arrive in the agreed window and get to work
- Update: simple status notes; if parts are needed, we say so before we buy
