About Flitwick

Flitwick is a town in Central Bedfordshire, about 2 miles south of Ampthill. The station is on the Midland Main Line, and Thameslink trains run south to Luton, London and beyond. The town grew quickly in the second half of the 20th century.

Flitwick Moor, a wetland nature reserve, lies on the eastern edge. The Rufus Centre on Steppingley Road houses the town council and has offices and meeting rooms for hire. The A5120 passes through the town between Ampthill and Toddington.

What we do for customers in Flitwick

Choosing a replacement computer

Before you buy, list the programs you run and the size of your files. We tell you whether the present machine is worth upgrading. If a new one makes more sense, we suggest a specification matched to your work.

Maintenance and upgrades

Moving to a new machine

We copy files, set up email and reinstall programs on a new computer. You need your own licence keys and account logins. Keep passwords out of email and bring them with you.

Computer and laptop repairs

A dependable desk for hybrid work

Many Flitwick residents travel to London by Thameslink on some days and work at home on others. We make sure the laptop, the monitor, the printer and the Wi-Fi work together on the home days.

Wi-Fi and networking

A common problem: moving to a replacement computer

List the programs, the files and the accounts you need on the new machine. Check you can sign in to each account and find each licence. Never send passwords through the enquiry form.

Questions from Flitwick

Have a different question?
Ask us

Should I upgrade or replace a five-year-old laptop?

The answer depends on the model. A laptop with a replaceable drive and memory often gains several more years from an upgrade. One with parts fixed to the board usually does not. Send the model number and we will check.

Can you wipe an old computer before I sell or recycle it?

Yes. We erase the drive so personal files are not left behind. Tell us first whether you need anything copied off.

Does Puffin Computers have a shop in Flitwick?

No. Our only base is East Street, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 1HX. Flitwick is part of the area we cover from there. Contact us first and we will agree how to handle your repair or project.

Do you visit customers or collect computers in Flitwick?

Ask when you get in touch. A visit or collection depends on the job, the distance and our diary. We agree any charge with you beforehand.
