Wapping is a small postcode with a lot of computers in it. Converted warehouses along Wapping High Street, the marina apartments at St Katharine Docks and the estates around Wapping Lane are full of people working from home, and Fix It London gives them same-day computer repair and IT support. A MacBook that has stopped charging, broadband that cannot penetrate the walls of a former tea warehouse, or a dockside office that has lost its email are all problems we solve on site.

Problems particular to E1W
The warehouse conversions that define Wapping were built with walls a metre thick, and Wi-Fi simply does not pass through them. Mesh networks with a wired backbone are our most common job here. Residents travel often, so we also see laptops damaged in transit, external drives that failed without a backup, and Macs needing a clean reinstall. Older residents on the estates need help with scam calls, slow PCs and printers that have lost their connection.
Visits around Wapping
Appointments run throughout the day, with evenings and Saturdays possible, and we are used to concierge sign-in at dockside buildings. The fault is diagnosed in front of you and a price fixed before work starts. If we take the device away, a loan laptop is left behind, and all repairs are guaranteed for 12 months.
Businesses in E1W
St Katharine Docks is home to a lively mix of marina businesses, restaurants, consultancies and media firms in Commodity Quay and International House, while Wapping Lane and the Highway host cafés, shops and small studios. We provide Microsoft 365 migration, backups, networking, secure Wi-Fi, Mac and PC maintenance and fixed-price support contracts for teams without an IT department.
