About Ampthill

Ampthill is a Georgian market town in Central Bedfordshire. A charter of 1219 granted the Thursday market, which still trades. Catherine of Aragon lived at Ampthill Castle from 1531 to 1533 while her marriage to Henry VIII was dissolved. A stone cross in Ampthill Park marks the site of the castle.

Church Street, Dunstable Street, Woburn Street and Bedford Street meet at the Market Place. Independent shops and offices occupy many of the older buildings. The ruin of Houghton House stands on the ridge north of the town.

What we do for customers in Ampthill

When a computer with important files will not start

Stop trying to start the machine if the drive clicks or grinds. Tell us what backups exist and which files matter most. Recovering files and repairing the computer are separate jobs, and we explain what is realistic for each.

Computer and laptop repairs

Backups for small offices

Offices around the Market Place often keep years of client records on one computer. We set up a backup, test a restore and write down who holds each login. A backup is only proven once a file has been restored from the copy.

Business IT support

Websites for independent shops

We build short, clear sites for independent shops and service firms. Each page states what you offer, when you open and how to reach you.

Web design and development

A common problem: a computer with important files will not start

Leave the machine switched off if you hear clicking or other unusual noise from the drive. Tell us whether a backup exists and how old the backup is. Say whether the files or the computer matter more to you.

Often, when the drive itself still works. We check the drive before promising anything. A drive with physical damage needs a specialist laboratory, and we tell you when a case reaches that point.

Yes. Flitwick adjoins Ampthill to the south and Maulden lies to the east. Tell us your postcode when you get in touch.
