what i don’t do
- Custom PC builds. There are shops that specialise in this and do it better.
- Phone and tablet repairs. Different tools, different trade. I can still help with the software side, like setting up a new phone or moving everything across.
- Printers. Honestly, a new one is usually cheaper than the time it'd take me to fix the old one.
- Anything still under warranty. Use the warranty first, it's free.
If it’s on this list, I’ll point you to someone who does it well.

who’s the taylor?
Just me, actually
I’m Sonny Taylor. 18, Bayside born and raised, and the person half the street already calls when a computer plays up. I’ve been fixing them since I was about twelve.
My dad runs The Door Taylor, so mending things for locals is more or less the family trade. I’m not a big company pretending to be small. It’s just me and a toolkit. That’s why it’s cheap, and why the person you text is the person who turns up.
- no shopfront, no overheads
- if it's not worth fixing, i'll say so
