Bug Fixing in Oxford
Fixing defects in software we did not build, for Oxford businesses whose developer has moved on or whose agency has stopped replying. We reproduce the fault, find the actual cause rather than the symptom, and fix it without disturbing the parts that currently work.
Why this comes up
The problem
A business left with software nobody supports faces a bad choice: live with the fault, or pay for a rebuild they do not need. Most defects are small once someone competent looks at them.
What you get
What we deliver
- Reproduction of the fault before any code is touched, so the fix is verifiable
- Root cause identified and stated plainly, separate from the visible symptom
- A targeted fix, with the blast radius kept as small as the problem allows
- A regression test where the defect is one that could plausibly return
- A note on anything else concerning found along the way, priced separately not sneaked in
- Deployment to your environment, or a change your own team can apply
Want this scoped for your business in Oxford?
Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what bug fixing would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in Oxford
South East
Oxford's economy runs on research and life sciences, and a lot of the work here starts with a research group or spin-out that needs a prototype turned into something other people can safely use.
Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand.

Bug Fixing in Oxford — common questions
- We have no documentation and no original developer. Is that a problem?
- It is the normal starting position for this work. What we need is access to the code, the environment and someone who can describe the correct behaviour. Where the code is genuinely unmaintainable we will say so early rather than billing hours against a lost cause.
- How is it priced when nobody knows the cause yet?
- A capped investigation first, so you are not signing an open-ended commitment. That produces a diagnosis and a fixed quote for the fix, and you can take both elsewhere if you would rather.
- Will fixing one thing break another?
- It is the real risk in unfamiliar code, which is why fixes are kept narrow and tested before deployment. Where a defect turns out to be structural, we will tell you that a proper repair is larger than a patch rather than papering over it.
- Can you fix something urgently?
- Where a fault is stopping trade, yes — that is emergency work and it is scoped and priced as such on the first call rather than afterwards.
- Do you work with businesses across Oxfordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Oxford and the surrounding Oxfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Oxford businesses do you usually work with?
- Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand. Beyond that we work across Research & Higher Education, Life Sciences, Publishing, Technology and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Oxford?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, London. Oxford is an urban area of roughly 170,000+, and we take on work across the wider Oxfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
