Laptop cleaning and maintenance
Internal dust removal, fan service, fresh thermal paste, and a health check. The simplest way to keep a machine cool, quiet, and lasting longer.
What’s included
Laptop Cleaning & Maintenance details
Overheating and fan noise are usually neglected maintenance, not a dying laptop. A proper clean and repaste often transforms machines that feel “finished”.

- Thermal paste replacement — £35
- Windows tune-up — £35
- Annual service package — £65
- Pairs well with an SSD upgrade

Quantified repair impact
Figures below are industry and agency estimates we publish so “repair before replace” is measurable — not marketing fluff. Model footprints vary; we cite the sources.
62 Mt
Global e-waste generated in 2022 — only 22.3% documented as properly collected and recycled (Global E-waste Monitor 2024)
17.6 kg
E-waste generated per person in Europe in 2022 — the highest regional rate (Global E-waste Monitor 2024)
~65–75%
Share of a typical laptop’s climate impact tied to manufacturing, not day-to-day electricity (DESNZ / ADEME assessments)
~27 kg
CO₂e avoided per year of use by choosing a refurbished laptop over new (ADEME)
~127 kg
Raw materials extraction avoided per year of refurbished laptop use (ADEME)
1.6 Mt
CO₂e/year EU could save by 2030 if every notebook lasted one year longer (European Environmental Bureau)
