Our Ethos
Recycle. Reuse. Repair. Repeat.
Let’s give your tech a second chance before it hits the skip.
At Need A Techie, we don’t believe in tossing out perfectly good tech just because it’s having a tantrum. If it can be repaired, revived, or repurposed — we’re on it. It’s better for the planet, better for your wallet, and honestly… kind of satisfying.
We Fix First
We always look for a repair before suggesting a replacement. Whether it’s a busted screen, a slow laptop, or a dodgy charging port — we’ll see if we can bring it back to life.
We Reuse Parts
Got an old device lying around? We may be able to harvest parts (like RAM, drives, fans) and reuse them in refurb projects or donate them to local causes. Better than landfill, right?
Upgrade, Not Waste
Sometimes all your computer needs is a bit more memory or a fresh SSD — not a whole new machine. We’ll help you make smart upgrade choices that stretch the life of your tech (and your budget).
Why It Matters
Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing types of waste on the planet. By repairing, upgrading, and reusing where possible, we’re doing our bit to keep tech out of the bin.

Customer Reviews
At Need a Techie we take pride in the services we provide and strive to get it right the first time. Feedback is essential to ensuring that our high standard of service is maintained. This is what our clients say about our services:
“As a NON TECHIE, I have relied on Zane’s amazing knowledge and attitude for years now. I don’t even go to the store where I bought the gear from. WHY NOT? long queues, bad attitudes, limited knowledge and usually no result = frustration.
With Zane I get immediate response and my problem is sorted there and then with very good prices. His knowledge on all gear is amazing. The beauty is, most times it is sorted via Remote Fix”.
Brian Abbot Training
“I recommend very highly the services of Zane Ali Mahomed of Need A Techie, who created an excellent website for my Company, Select Supported Care Limited, operating as Hart Plain Care.
The website is original, professionally designed, slick, informative and easy to navigate for our target audience of clients/ end users, and equally user friendly for our professional partners and stakeholders. All round excellent work.”
Prof Godfrey Mazhindu
“Zane Ali Mahomed from Need a Techie has provided me with fantastic home IT support. He is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and stays up to date with all issues relating to home computing.
He is quick to problem solve and is very approachable. Whenever I have a problem, I just email or call and Zane provides me with a solution either over the phone or by remotely connecting to my computer. I can highly recommend Zane.”
