Techmate Frome is currently paused due to ill health, and I am not taking on home visits or tech support work at this time. This page will be updated as soon as I am back up and running. Thank you for your support and understanding. Dan
‘Hello, I’m Dan. Whatever your technology need, I’m here to help.’
I am a qualified teacher and I live in Frome with my wife and our two children. I have worked in schools, the NHS, local government and commercial business. Most of my professional life has been spent educating and helping people.
I have been passionate about computers and tech for over 25 years, and I love sharing my enthusiasm for machines that can do useful, interesting and occasionally wonderful things. I have experience in web design, building PCs and repairing devices.
I have worked professionally with adults with learning disabilities; people experiencing difficulties with their mental health; and young people, including neurodiverse children and young offenders. If someone you know could benefit from a patient, supportive approach to solving a technology challenge I would be delighted to help.
Friendly, reliable help
From as little as £40, I offer professional, friendly one-to-one help for all your computer and technology needs. Perhaps you want to set up a new computer, or make sense of your smart TV, or persuade an uncooperative printer to print. From smartphones to smart speakers, if it connects to the internet – or to something that does – I can help.
I will come to your home, or another location that suits you. I will listen to what you need, and carefully explain and demonstrate the solution. There are no ‘silly questions’ and I will give you as much time as you require. I can write down clear instructions for you to refer to at a later date. If you have questions later on, I’m only an email, Whatsapp or call away.

Dan did a great job figuring out a computer problem and a TV problem. He was humorous, smart, and tenacious. Success on both counts!
