Windows PC and Microsoft 365 Support for Thetford Businesses

Whether you run a five-person office near the town centre or a larger team on one of Thetford's business parks, the day-to-day demands on your IT are the same: computers need to work reliably, data needs to be backed up, and staff need to be able to get on with their jobs without waiting for someone to sort a technical problem. We provide straightforward, fixed-price support contracts for Windows PCs, laptops and Microsoft 365 - nothing more complicated than that, and no services you do not need.

Why Ageing Windows Systems Are a Real Risk Right Now

A common problem for businesses that have been operating for many years is software that has quietly passed its supported lifespan. When Microsoft ends support for a version of Windows, security patches stop arriving, and every week that passes without an update is another week of exposure to threats that have been patched on every other system. Older versions of Microsoft 365 apps also eventually lose access to features and connectivity that modern cloud services depend on.

The fix is rarely as disruptive as businesses fear. In many cases it means upgrading Windows on existing hardware or replacing one or two machines that are genuinely past their useful life. We can assess what you have, advise on what needs to change, and carry out the migration so that staff notice minimal disruption.

Support Contracts Tailored to the Size of Your Team

Our support contracts are priced per computer per month, not per user, so you always know exactly what you are paying. There are two main options.

Business Essentials covers software updates, backups and security monitoring. On-site visits are available when needed and charged at a £60 call-out fee plus labour. Pricing (all figures exclude VAT):

• 1 computer: £36 per month
• 2-3 computers: £31.20 each per month
• 4-9 computers: £25.20 each per month
• 10-17 computers: £22.20 each per month
• 18 or more computers: £21.60 each per month

Business Premium includes everything in Business Essentials, and on-site call-outs and labour are included in the monthly price rather than charged separately. This suits businesses that prefer a fully predictable IT budget. Pricing (all figures exclude VAT):

• 1 computer: £54 per month
• 2-3 computers: £42 each per month
• 4-6 computers: £38.60 each per month
• 7-9 computers: £33.80 each per month
• 10-12 computers: £31.20 each per month
• 13-15 computers: £28.40 each per month
• 16-19 computers: £25.40 each per month
• 20 or more computers: £24.40 each per month

No Monthly Contract? We Have a Pay-As-You-Go Option Too

If your business is not ready for a monthly contract, or if you have a one-off project or a specific problem to resolve, our block-time option gives you access to monthly monitoring without a long-term commitment. Blocks are valid for up to six months and priced as follows (all figures exclude VAT):

• 4 hours: £312
• 8 hours: £592
• 16 hours: £1,123

This is a practical choice for seasonal businesses or smaller offices that need occasional expert help rather than ongoing cover.

Microsoft 365 for Thetford Businesses

Microsoft 365 is now the standard for business email, document collaboration and cloud storage for Windows-based teams. Getting it set up properly from the start makes a significant difference to how reliably it runs day to day. Common problems include mailboxes not syncing correctly, shared calendars that conflict, and OneDrive folder structures that nobody can navigate. We handle 365 setup, migrations from older mail systems, and ongoing management so that the platform stays in good shape.

A managed email service is also available for businesses that want their email infrastructure looked after separately from their wider IT. Pricing for managed email is quoted on request.

Security and Backups - The Two Things Businesses Most Often Overlook

A common oversight in small offices is a backup that has not actually been tested. A backup that runs nightly is useful; a backup that runs nightly and has been verified to restore correctly is essential. Both our Business Essentials and Business Premium contracts include backup monitoring as standard, so this is not left to chance.

Security updates on Windows PCs and laptops are equally important. Machines that are switched off overnight, or that travel with staff between the office and home, can miss scheduled update windows and fall behind. Part of what ongoing monitoring catches is exactly this kind of quiet, unnoticed gap in protection.
