Reliable IT support for homes and businesses in Crowborough and the surrounding Wealden area
Local IT support for Crowborough
GNL Solutions provides straightforward IT support for businesses and home users across Crowborough, from the Broadway and the town centre down to Jarvis Brook, and out along the lanes towards the Ashdown Forest side. Slow computer, network trouble, email playing up or a security worry, we can help.
We are based just along the A26 in Uckfield, roughly twenty minutes away, so Crowborough is firmly on our doorstep for on-site visits. When you call, you speak directly to the person who fixes the problem. No call centres, no ticket queues, no waiting on hold.
Common issues we help with
From everyday niggles to bigger problems, we've got it covered
Slow Computers
System problems, startup issues and general sluggishness diagnosed and fixed.
Network & WiFi
Connectivity problems, dead spots, router setup and broadband troubleshooting.
Email & Microsoft 365
Setup, migration and ongoing support for email, OneDrive and Office apps.
Security & Virus Removal
ESET managed security, malware removal and protection against online threats.

Automated backups so your files are safe from hardware failure, ransomware or accidents.

New computer setup, data transfer from your old machine, and peripheral configuration.
Remote and on-site support
Most issues are sorted quickly over a secure remote connection, usually the same day you call. We connect to your computer through encrypted, self-hosted tools and get to work straight away. When something needs hands-on attention, a failed hard drive, a new office network or a WiFi survey, we come to you across Crowborough and the surrounding villages including Jarvis Brook, Rotherfield, Mark Cross, Eridge and Boarshead.
Being close by in Uckfield means an on-site visit is a short trip up the A26 rather than an all-day expedition, so you are not paying for someone to sit in traffic from the coast just to reach you.
GNL Protect - ongoing support
For businesses and home users who want proactive support rather than just fixing things when they break, GNL Protect provides monitoring, security and ongoing IT management for a predictable monthly cost. Plans start from just £25 +VAT per month.
IT support built for Crowborough
Crowborough sits high on the edge of Ashdown Forest, one of the highest towns in the South East, and that setting shapes the IT problems we see here. Homes and offices spread out along wooded lanes towards Sweethaws, Crowborough Warren and St John's often sit at the end of long broadband lines, so slow or unreliable internet is one of the most common things we are called about. We fix it properly with the right router, mesh WiFi that reaches the far end of the house, and 4G failover for when the fixed line lets you down.
The town has a busy mix of independent shops around the Broadway, professional offices, trades run from home and a growing number of people working remotely for employers elsewhere. That last group in particular needs solid Microsoft 365, dependable backups and a connection that holds up on video calls, and it is a big part of what we do here day to day.
Whether it is a single laptop that will not behave, a home office that keeps dropping off the WiFi, or a small business network that needs proper security and backups, you get the same direct, jargon-free help from a person who picks up the phone.
Crowborough IT support questions
Do you offer on-site IT support in Crowborough?
Yes. We are based nearby in Uckfield, and Crowborough is within our standard service area for on-site visits. Most problems are fixed faster through secure remote support, so we usually try that first and only arrange a visit when the job genuinely needs one.
How quickly can you help?
Remote support is usually same day. Once you are connected, most issues such as viruses, slow computers or email problems are sorted within 15 to 30 minutes. On-site visits are booked for the next available slot.
Do you support businesses as well as home users?
Both. We look after home users, home workers and small businesses across Crowborough. For businesses that want ongoing cover rather than calling only when something breaks, our GNL Protect plans bundle monitoring, security and support into a monthly price.
How much does IT support cost?
Ad-hoc support is £90 per hour, or £70 per hour for plan members. GNL Protect managed plans start from £25 per month plus VAT. There is no charge for an initial chat about what you need.
Can you fix my computer without visiting?
Yes. For most issues you download a small tool, read us a code over the phone, and we connect securely to your screen. You can watch everything we do, and nothing is installed permanently.
Can you help with slow or patchy broadband around Crowborough?
Often, yes. A lot of the connection trouble around Crowborough and the Ashdown Forest lanes comes down to long broadband lines and weak WiFi rather than a fault with your computer. We can improve coverage with better routers and mesh WiFi, set up 4G failover so you stay online when the fixed line drops, and advise on whether full fibre has reached your address yet.
We also support clients across Heathfield, Lewes, Newick and the wider East Sussex area.
