What changes the price for web, tech & IT help
- Diagnosing versus fixing. Finding the fault is often most of the job. A known problem with a known fix is quick.
- Platform and access. A WordPress or Squarespace site with admin access is straightforward. Custom code, or a site where nobody has the login, takes longer.
- On site or remote. Remote help is usually cheaper. Home visits for wifi, printers and new computers carry travel time.
- Data involved. Moving files and accounts to a new machine is slow if there is a lot of it, and needs a backup first.
What is usually included
- Labour, on site or remote
- Testing that the fix works
- A short explanation of what was changed
And what is usually not
- Hardware, cables and replacement parts
- Software licences, premium themes or plugins
- Domain and hosting fees
- Ongoing support after the job, unless agreed
The one thing that saves the most money
Find your logins before you post: domain registrar, hosting, website admin and email. Many website jobs spend their first paid hour recovering access, and only you can do that.

How much does tech help cost in the UK?

What makes tech help more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
