Malton is a long way from my North Cave workshop, so this page is honest about when the trip is worth it. For specialist jobs – data recovery, MacBooks that won’t power on and board-level repairs that other shops turn away – Malton customers do make the drive, by arrangement.
Getting to the workshop: From Malton the workshop is about 50 minutes by car (31 miles via the A1079). The workshop is at 27 Newport Road, North Cave, HU15 2NU.

When it’s worth coming from Malton
For a simple laptop screen or a Windows reinstall, a repairer closer to Malton may save you the 50-minute drive. Where I can help most is the harder work: recovering files from a drive that has stopped working, repairing a MacBook logic board, or fixing a charging fault at chip level. Those jobs need specialist tools, and a lot of general repair shops simply send them back unrepaired.
Before you set off, call or WhatsApp with the make, model and fault. I’ll tell you on the phone whether it sounds repairable, so you don’t make a wasted journey.
Three ways to get help without the drive
- Remote support for software problems – email, printers, pop-ups and slow start-ups – fixed over the internet while you watch.
- Courier collection for hardware repairs and data recovery. Ask for a price for your address.
- One trip, booked in advance – drop off and collect on the same day when the job allows, so you only travel once.
