Liquid damage repair in Barnes

It happens in a split second: a knock of a wine glass or a tipped coffee cup, and suddenly your MacBook goes dark. In Barnes, we see this often in home offices or whilst working at the kitchen island. The instinct is to try and turn it back on—don’t. Electricity and liquid are what cause the corrosion that kills the machine. Speed is everything. We prioritize liquid damage cases because corrosion begins immediately. We strip the machine down, clean the logic board with ultrasonic technology, and assess what can be saved. For our Barnes clients, the priority is often the data—photos, work documents, financial records—and our success rate for recovery is high, even if the machine itself needs component repairs. We are practically neighbours, just across the river. If you’ve had a spill, get the device to our Putney workshop immediately. We offer a discreet, professional service and can provide insurance letters if you need to claim for the damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Liquid Damage Repair in Barnes

My laptop still works after the spill - is it OK?

Not necessarily. Corrosion develops over hours and days. A laptop working immediately after a spill can fail days later as components corrode. Professional cleaning now prevents future failure.

Should I put it in rice?

No - rice doesn't help and can make things worse (dust, starch residue). Don't use a hairdryer either - it can spread liquid and cause heat damage. Just power off and get it to us quickly.

What are the chances of repair?

Success rates vary. Quick action (within 24-48 hours) significantly improves chances. Clean water spills have better outcomes than sugary drinks or coffee. We'll give you an honest assessment.

Can you recover my data even if the laptop can't be repaired?

Usually yes. Even in severe cases, we can often extract the storage and recover data. This is included in our assessment.
