About Stewkley

Stewkley is a village in Buckinghamshire, west of Leighton Buzzard on the B4032. The houses line one street, divided into High Street North and High Street South, which runs for almost 2 miles. St Michael's Church dates from about 1150 and keeps most of its Norman fabric.

In 1971 the Roskill Commission recommended nearby Cublington as the site of a third London airport. Stewkley would have been largely demolished. Villagers campaigned against the plan and the government dropped the proposal.

What we do for customers in Stewkley

Separate networks for work and home

A home network grows complicated once work laptops, televisions, phones and smart devices share one router. We set up a guest network, keep work equipment apart and write down the settings. Check first whether your router supports a guest network.

Wi-Fi and networking

Coverage in long plots and outbuildings

Many houses along the High Street have long gardens with barns or studios behind. A signal from the house seldom reaches them. A buried network cable or a point-to-point wireless link does the job more reliably than a booster.

Computer repairs

We repair desktops and laptops with start-up faults, failed drives and overheating. Send the model and the symptoms before you travel.

Computer and laptop repairs

A common problem: keeping guest and work devices apart

Look in the router settings for a guest network option. List the devices needing to talk to each other, such as a work laptop and a printer. Changing access settings without that list often cuts off the printer.

Can you get Wi-Fi to a barn or garden studio?

Usually. We look at the distance, the power supply and the cable run, then recommend a buried cable or a wireless link. Outdoor electrical work needs a qualified electrician.

Do you build websites for village businesses?

Yes. A small site with your services, your area and your contact details is enough for most trades and home-based firms.
