Capacitors, resistors, MOSFETs, ICs, voltage regulators — replaced cleanly. Down to 0201 sizes under microscope. Lead-free or leaded depending on the board.
We have the bench tools — preheater, hot-air station, microscope — for BGA work, and take on reflow and reball jobs after a free pre-flight assessment of your specific board. We’ll be honest if it’s outside what we’d quote for and point you at a specialist.
Flex cables, charging ports, tiny ICs, board-level phone and laptop work. Microscope-assisted at 20-40x magnification.
Lifted SMD pads rebuilt with copper foil, broken traces jumped with enamel wire, corroded vias re-tinned. Real fixes, not glue and hope.
HDMI, USB-C, DC barrel jacks, FFC connectors — the usual suspects on every console and laptop.
Vintage gear, audio amps, CRTs, retro computers. Same workshop, different tools — iron tip and proper desolder gun.
£40 bench minimum, then £80/hr labour in 15-minute increments. Parts charged at cost. You get a firm written quote after free photo diagnosis — no chargeable work starts without your approval.

Anything from a single SMD capacitor swap to BGA reflow on console GPUs. Common jobs: HDMI/USB-C port replacement, charging IC swaps, MOSFET replacement on PSU boards, lifted-pad and broken-trace repair, flex-cable micro-soldering, BGA reflow and reball. Through-hole work too.
£40 bench minimum. Beyond that we charge £80/hr in 15-minute increments. Most small jobs come in at £40-80; complex BGA work runs £80-250 depending on prep, reballing, and dwell time.
We have the bench for it — preheater, hot-air station, microscope, leaded and lead-free profiles — and take on BGA reflow and reball jobs after a free pre-flight check on your specific board. Typical pricing is £80-150 for reflow and £150-250 for reball, but we always confirm per-job after seeing the board. If your specific platform isn’t one we’d quote for, we’ll say so and point you at someone who specialises in it.
No fix, no fee — you only pay if the repair succeeds. Diagnosis is free. If we determine the board is beyond economic repair we’ll tell you straight, and return your hardware on you covering postage only.
Yes — proper hot-air rework station, microscope for 0201/0402 work and BGA inspection, preheater for board prep, and the right flux/paste for lead-free and leaded reflow. Real bench, not a soldering iron on a kitchen table.
90 days on the work. If a joint we made fails within 90 days we redo it free. Doesn’t cover unrelated faults that develop later.
Free photo diagnosis, no-fix-no-fee, 90-day warranty. Serving the UK by post from Basingstoke.
