Quick answer
How often should a printer be serviced?
Busy office laser printers and copiers should be serviced every 3 to 6 months; home and light-use printers once a year or when print quality drops.
A service costs far less than an emergency repair and lengthens the life of rollers, fusers and print heads.

Why prices start “from”
Every site is different, so our published prices are starting prices. Your final price depends on:
- Printer type – laser, inkjet, MFP, thermal or 3D
- Make, model and parts
- Number of printers on site
- Workshop vs on-site
- Maintenance contract or once-off
inspection + quote
Whether it is CCTV, access control, alarms, electric fencing, printers, computers or fibre, you pay one fixed call-out of R650. It covers the visit, a full site inspection and an itemised written quote – so the price you approve is built around your property, not a guess. The call-out is charged on every visit and is not deducted from your quote or invoice.
