Onsite services
An onsite Service is where KCS sends an engineer to your Business or Home to do work for you. For certain types of work an onsite call is the best way to perform the work. Note that on occassions it may also be necessary to take your computer back to our workshop for additional work to be performed. Often KCS can perform work remotely which will save you hassle, time and money and also save the environment; less travel = less CO2 emissions
Below are examples of the work where an onsite is the most suitable method of performing work:

Onsite Work Terms and Conditions
- Customer must supply necessary usernames, passwords, ISP details (email etc.) or time spent and hence billed will obviously increase
- For some services customer must have a working Internet connection as this will be required to download software, setup email etc.
- Computers and specifically software are sophisticated and complex products and in instances the most simple of tasks can go badly wrong due to no fault of yours, the KCS engineer or any specific software vendor (e.g. Microsoft). A quick Internet search of “norton won’t uninstall returns about 203,000 results” In instances such as this you will be advised of an appropriate solution to the problem and will be given the option of resolving any issue in this manner.
- By logging an onsite you commit to paying for the time spent performing the onsite work
- Your KCS Engineer will always advise you of the time the work is expected to take or if any and will keep you informed of progress while performing the work
- Unless you have Account Terms with KCS Total Solutions Ltd all onsite repiars are payable on a COD basis. Payment can be taken by all major Credit Cards, Debit Cards and American Express Cards.
