Screen replacement in Kensington

A cracked or failed screen on a premium MacBook or laptop is particularly frustrating when the device is otherwise in good condition. We help Kensington W8 residents and businesses get displays back to full quality — whether that is shattered glass, a backlight failure, or a panel that flickers under load. We use quality-matched parts and test the full display assembly — cables, brightness, and graphics output — before returning the device. For high-end machines, we discuss part options so the repair meets the standard the device deserves. Parking around High Street Kensington is restricted, so free collection from W8 is the easiest option. Most repairs complete within 24–48 hours at our Putney workshop. For full service scope, see our screen replacement page. For local coverage, see our Kensington area page. To book, contact us or call 020 7610 0500.
