Report
With many years experience in diagnosing and repairing home and business computers we are considered specialists, we currently have 2 physical offices in both South Woodham Ferres and Wickford. We can resolve issues for a variety of different operating systems including Windows 10, Windows 8/8. 1, Windows 7 and Windows Vista and most versions of Mac. We also do try and support older version of Windows but sometimes its not possible to do, we will be honest and fair, if its not worth spending money on we will tell you.
If it not possible to get your computer to us, we can remotely support you by connecting to your computer via the Internet to fix any problems you may have, without scheduling an engineer out to your premises. This does require an internet connection and may not be possible for all issues, however, it does give us the chance to identify specific issues that may be occurring with your computer, such as hardware.
Unfortunately lots of businesses make the mistake of not backing up their systems off-site so in the event of fire or building damage your business or an employee accidentally deleting an important file you could be in danger of losing data, we offer a reasonably priced off site backup solution which allows your business to recover from this, we can set it up so that on a regularly basis your data is backed up so if you ever want to restore it then is possible. For a quote please contact us on 01245 426163 or email us at info@ahead4.com.
We offer professional I.T. & computer related services throughout Essex with competitive prices. For nearly two decades of trading and many more in experience, you will struggle to find a more reliable company to assist with all of your I.T needs. Uniquely, we have an in-house team of engineers who will also come out to your business or home and help you.

They came around October 2020, done a site visit and went over what I was after and what could be done. Was waiting for some different hardware but everywhere was out of stock, so nearly a year later I decided to get something else. Called up and they was able to arrive the same day, supplied everything that was needed and was done within a few hours. Would highly recommend!

Popped in to see if the speaker of my iPhone could be fixed and within 3 minutes it was working perfectly and I wasn’t even charged. Thank you very much, a very happy customer!

I have received nothing but the best of service from Ahead4. They have repaired my iPhone, iMac & windows pc. They always keep in touch & ensure I'm fully aware of all prices for the works carried out. Wouldn't consider going anywhere else. All my IT enquiries will always start here.

So many times have we called Ahead4 out for help in an emergency and no matter how busy they are they will always find time to help us. Their service is friendly, professional, fairly priced and they will always speak to us in a non technical way that is understandable to the less technically minded! I would like to thank Richard and the rest of the Ahead4 team for working through difficult times and still always being there to help.

Took in a dead slow iMac with a dodgy HDD, returned 3 days later to collect upgraded iMac with SDD that seems to be running on rocket juice. Great service and advice. Can't recommend highly enough!

I cant recommend these guys enough. The care and patience I was shown (I'm no IT buff!) was first class. Extremely friendly, polite and very fair prices too.

I contacted Richard at Ahead4 early Sunday morning to help with printing some flyers as my cat was missing. He replied within an hour and the flyers were printed and ready by the time the shop opened at 11am! Really helpful and would highly recommend. Can’t thank you enough.

My phone battery had completely stopped working (was losing charge so fast and constantly dying) took it to ahead 4 at 9am and got my phone back with a new battery by 10am and at such a good price! Such fast and good service and was a relief I didn’t have to go the whole day without my phone! I also took another phone here a while ago which Apple had told me was unfixable and ahead4 managed to fix it no problem, very honest people and always a great help!

After trying to drown my phone I was helped by Harrison who retrieved a lot of my treasured photos and put them on my new phone for me. He was very patient. polite and knowledgeable at all times. If he is an example of the expertise these people have and the service they offer they will be in business a long time.

Went there today with some pressing phone issues, helped me and went through how I can protect myself and privacy on my phone. Their help, advice and expertise were exceptional. Their service was second to none and I would highly recommend the services of Ahead4.

Brought in my Dogee X5 Pro (Chinese phone) with a broken micro USB charger port. The staff at Ahead4 were very friendly and helpful. John, one of the staff, offered to have a look at the phone for me overnight, but recommended passing it on to a specialist engineer (Third party). Luckily, a few days later, Neil from the third party popped in the shop and managed to fix the port and now my phone works perfectly!

Thanks to Hector for keeping me updated via email and to all the staff who helped with my phone. 5 star service, 5 star turn around time and 5 star knowledge and technical skills. Would recommend to anyone.

I have only dealt with Ahead4 whenever I have had any problems with my laptop and the service has always been fantastic
Helen Woodhall
Fantastic service at Wickford shop. Helpful, kind and patient helping to sort out problems with my sons tablet. Can confidently recommend them!!
Michael Game
Have been usng Ahead4 for about 5 years, never had a prroblem with them. If you are thinking of having a website built check these guys out first, the initial quote may not be as cheap as off the shelf packages, but in the long run its cheaper and better for your business.
David West
I first took my computer to PC World as the power supply failed. PC World kept the machine for a week and phoned to let me know they were unable to fix it. I then found Ahead4 who fixed the computer within about 3 days and all is working fine. Will recommend and return should anything else go wrong.
Caroline Bennett
I cannot thank these guys enough. My 1yr old son threw my iPhone 6 down the toilet and these guys brought it back from the dead!!! I'm over the moon, fantastic service, all repaired in less than 24hrs!
Robin French
Extremely helpful. Went in with an iPhone that had been dropped, and the screen had gone black. Turned out to just be a loose connection, which was fixed for free; as opposed to insisting it needed a new screen. Thanks for being so honest guys!
Shaun Hurrell
Great service replacing screen on MacBook, friendly, fair and a much better price than anywhere else
Leon Halsey
The Chaps at the SWF branch were absolutely brilliant. My hard drive failed and I was faced with losing months of really important family pictures. Not only did they manage to get all my data onto a new hard drive without any loss, but they got rid of some malware, installed better anti virus, and cleaned up the laptop and repaired the shell as part of the service! Top class and very reasonably priced. Much Appreciated Guys!
