Computer, laptop and Wi-Fi help for Newcastle homes, home offices and small businesses, mostly done remotely, with on-site visits booked ahead.

Newcastle is the Hunter's main city, and a lot of its work now happens on a laptop, whether that is in a CBD office, a shopfront or a spare room turned into a study. Steven Galvin runs Galvo's IT Solutions, a one-man IT business, and helps Newcastle households and small businesses get their computers, laptops and Wi-Fi working again.
To be upfront about it: Steven is based in Nulkaba, next to Cessnock, so Newcastle is further out than the Hunter Valley towns he covers most. Most software problems can be fixed remotely over the internet, which is often quicker than waiting for a visit. When a job needs hands on the machine, an on-site visit is booked ahead, or you can drop the computer off. Diagnosis is free, and you get a clear price before any work begins.
How Newcastle jobs usually work
Newcastle, run by the City of Newcastle, has a bit of everything: the harbour and the port, offices in the CBD, the university, older suburbs and newer ones, and a lot of people who now work from home some or all of the week.
The jobs that suit Newcastle best are the ones that can be done remotely. Email that has stopped syncing, Windows updates that keep failing, a laptop that has slowed to a crawl, a pop-up that looks like a scam: these are usually sorted in a remote session while you watch.
Hardware is a different story. A laptop that won't power on, a drive that has failed or a desktop that needs a new part has to be on Steven's bench. For those you can drop the machine off in Nulkaba, or book an on-site visit ahead of time. Wi-Fi and network jobs usually need a visit too.
Home offices and hybrid workers make up a big share of what comes up. Common needs are a reliable connection for video calls, a second screen set up properly and a backup that runs without anyone having to remember it. Small businesses, from CBD offices to suburban shops, tend to want one dependable person to call when a PC, an email account or the network plays up.

IT help in Newcastle: common questions
Newcastle is a fair way from Cessnock. Do you really cover it?
Yes, with an honest caveat: Newcastle is further from Nulkaba than his Hunter Valley work. Most software problems are fixed remotely, which only needs an internet connection and a phone call. When a visit is needed it is booked ahead rather than on the day, and dropping the computer off is always an option.
How does remote support work?
Call Steven on 0413 604 477 and describe the problem. If it suits remote help, he talks you through letting him connect to your computer, and you watch the screen while he works. The connection ends when the job is done.
Can you look after a small office in the Newcastle CBD?
Yes. Day-to-day problems with PCs, email, user accounts and software are mostly handled remotely, and on-site work such as network changes or new computer setups is planned and booked in. Geoff Beer of Ampz Electrical & LED Wholesale has used Steve for over 3 years even though they are a long drive apart, and calls him "super reliable".
What hours do you work?
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8am to 8pm, and Thursday from 8am to 3pm. Weekends are closed. Evening remote sessions suit people who work during the day.
