Howden is one junction along the M62 from my North Cave workshop, so it’s often quicker to reach me than a shop in Hull or Goole. Laptops, PCs, Macs, consoles and TVs are all repaired here, with a fixed price agreed after a free diagnosis.
Getting to the workshop: From Howden the workshop is about 13 minutes by car (10.6 miles via the M62). The workshop is at 27 Newport Road, North Cave, HU15 2NU.

Close to the M62
Many Howden customers drive the M62 for work, which makes an early drop-off easy: leave the laptop at North Cave on the way out, and collect it on the way home once it’s fixed. Early and evening slots are by arrangement, so ring the day before.
Gaming consoles and gaming PCs
Xbox and PlayStation repairs are a regular job from Howden families – consoles that overheat and shut down, HDMI ports that stop giving a picture, and machines that won’t power on at all. Because I work at board level, I can often fix a fault that would otherwise mean a replacement console. Gaming PCs and laptops come in for fan noise, overheating, upgrades and screens. See games console repair.
Typical jobs from Howden
