South of the city along Sandy Bay Road, the suburb runs from student share-houses around UTAS down to the waterfront homes near Wrest Point. Lecturers working from home, retirees in solid old sandstones, and families spread between Long Beach and Nutgrove — the tech jobs we get here are as varied as the postcodes. Most visits available within a day or two; sometimes same-day where we can fit it in. No call-out fee within 25 km of the CBD.
Suburbs we cover
From the campus end of Sandy Bay down to Taroona, with Battery Point and Mount Nelson either side — these are the streets we're in most weeks.
From the campus end down to the foreshore — Sandy Bay's the suburb we visit most south of the city. Wi-Fi running through double-brick walls, Macs that need migrating between owners, mesh nodes upstairs in older sandstone homes that the signal never reaches. Lecturers working from home, retirees, students — the tech jobs are as varied as the residents.
Just over the rise from the Salamanca end, Battery Point's tight-knit pocket of cottages and converted shops is its own conversation. Old wiring, thick walls, and a quiet preference for getting things sorted properly the first time — exactly the kind of work we do best.
Up the hill from Sandy Bay, Mount Nelson's larger blocks and family homes throw up the usual culprits — Wi-Fi that won't reach the back rumpus, smart cameras that drop off the network in the wind, kids' devices that need parental controls properly set. We're up there a few times a month.
Down the road past the Shot Tower, Taroona sits between Sandy Bay and Kingston with a mix of waterfront homes and quieter family streets. We pick up Wi-Fi extension jobs, new-NBN-connection setups, and the occasional move-house IT migration. Same hourly rate, plus a small distance fee beyond 25 km from the CBD.
● What we sort in Sandy Bay
Sandstone walls, double-brick, the laptop that started running hot somewhere between thesis chapters — diagnosed where the gear actually lives.
ReadNew iPhones, tricky Apple ID recoveries, screen-time setups for the kids before exams. Most Sandy Bay homes lean Apple — we lean that way too.
ReadOffice for the home office, Microsoft 365 for the lecturer who's now also tutoring privately, the email account that's gone quiet for no reason.
ReadOld waterfront homes are signal traps. Mesh, access points, the right placement — coverage that reaches the studio shed at the bottom of the garden.
ReadThe printer that's offline again because the network changed names, scan-to-email for home offices, the new laser that won't pair with anything.
ReadNew TVs in big rooms with old soundbars, parents still on Foxtel who finally want to make the switch. We sort the lounge so the family actually uses it.
ReadCameras around bigger blocks, smart locks for the kids who keep losing keys, the doorbell that rings six rooms away from the front door.
ReadSole traders, allied health, lecturers running side businesses from a Sandy Bay home office. No lock-in, no monthly plan — call when something's wrong.
