How our Photocopier Repair Service Works

If you’re experiencing issues with your printer or photocopier, here is an overview of how our service operates and what you can expect.

Step 1 - Initial Consultation

If you are experiencing issues with your printer, please fill out the form above or give us a call on 01259 743424 .  We will then put you in touch with a printer expert who will diagnose your problem. 

We believe that speaking directly with you allows us to gain a better understanding of your issues. This conversation may also help identify any underlying faults, thereby improving the chances of achieving a first-time fix.

We quote our English and Reading customers before fitting any parts.

Before having one of our Reading based copier engineer attend to your printer we would like to speak to you to find out what your problems and issues are.

Step 2 - Transparent Quote

Following on from the initial consultation we will provide you with a quote for the callout and any parts that we think we be needed. Copier and printer parts can be very expensive, but thanks to our direct purchasing relationships, we can pass our savings on to you.

Step 3 - Arranging the Visit

Once you decide to proceed, we’ll log the call and provide you with a unique reference number. If parts are required, they will be sent to you in advance. Our schedulers will look at the other calls that have been logged in your area and then allocate one of our local printer engineers to attend at a time and date that suits you.

Our English schedulers in our head office in Dollar will organise for one of our photocopier engineers to service, fix and repair your printer in Reading.

Step 4 - Following on from the visit

If all goes to plan, you will have a fully functioning printer once the engineer has completed their work. However, there may be occasions when additional parts are needed. Unfortunately, we can never guarantee that your printer will be fixed after the first first. In such instances, we will provide you with a written quote detailing the necessary part and services. Our printer engineers will never replace a part on your printer without your explicit consent.

Occasionally, a fault is so severe that the repair is classified as “beyond economic repair”. In such cases, if our local printer engineer believes that a repair is not feasible, we can offer you quote for a replacement photocopier. Thanks to our relationships with many leading manufacturers, we can provide access to special deals, promotions, and discounts. Alternatively you may benefit from one of our refurbished nearly-new photocopiers. Either way we can support your new printer on one of competitive managed print contracts.

Manufacturers that our local printer engineers support

As a multi-brand organisation, our local engineers are trained to repair printers manufactured and sold throughout the UK which include Brother, Canon, Citizen, Datamax, Develop, Epson, Godex, HP, Honeywell, Intermec, Lexmark, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Microplex, Oki, Printronix, Ricoh, Samsung, Sato, Sharp, Tec, Toshiba, TSC, Xerox and Zebra.

Trained according to the ‘CP Method’, our engineers thoroughly understand the principles of laser photocopier technology. Our intensive training ensures that, because they understand the technology, they can repair the photocopier irrespective of the manufacturer. For instance, not many people are aware that Olivetti use print engines manufactured by Konica Minolta.
