  • Free diagnosis

Thornton has grown quickly, with newer housing estates spreading out beside the older part of the suburb, and an industrial area that is home to plenty of local businesses. It sits in the City of Maitland, next to East Maitland and Metford.

Steven Galvin of Galvo's IT Solutions fixes computers, laptops and Wi-Fi for homes and small businesses across Maitland, Cessnock and the Hunter Valley. It's a local, one-man business, so the person you talk to is the person who does the work, whether on-site, remotely or from a drop-off.

New homes, home offices and Thornton's industrial area

Many Thornton homes are recent builds, and in a two-storey house the NBN box and modem usually end up in the garage or a corner of the ground floor. That's a recipe for weak Wi-Fi upstairs, where the bedrooms and often the study are. Typical needs are getting good coverage across both floors, adding mesh Wi-Fi or a cable to the upstairs office, and getting smart TVs, game consoles and laptops all connected properly.

With more people working from home, a reliable home office matters. That can mean a desktop or laptop set up with dual monitors, a solid connection for video calls, secure access to work systems and a backup for the files that matter.

Thornton's industrial area has its own mix of small businesses with offices, workshops and warehouses. They tend to need the same things: dependable office PCs, a network that doesn't drop out, Wi-Fi where the work happens and someone local to call. Steven can help with all of it, from a single office PC that won't start to a network that needs sorting out properly. Because he works on his own, the same person who diagnoses the problem is the one who fixes it and the one you call next time.

IT help in Thornton: common questions

Our Wi-Fi is fine downstairs but weak upstairs. What can be done?

In a two-storey home, the floor and walls between the modem and the upstairs rooms weaken the signal. Depending on the house, the fix may be moving the modem, adding mesh Wi-Fi or running a cable to an upstairs access point. Steven checks it first and gives you the price before any work begins.

Can you set up my home office?

Yes. That can include setting up a computer and monitors, getting a stable connection for video calls, connecting to your work email and setting up backups. If your employer has its own IT rules, Steven works within them.

Do you cover Thornton, East Maitland and Metford?

Yes, along with the rest of Maitland and the Cessnock area. Steven is based in Nulkaba near Cessnock and comes to homes and businesses on weekdays. Remote help and drop-off are also options.

Can you come after work hours?

Steven works until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, so an early evening visit may be possible. Thursday finishes at 3pm and weekends are closed.
