“Societies only have waste products while acquiring fresh raw material remains a cheaper option than recycling.” ― Peter F. Hamilton
We are a local tech start up based in Dorrington that was inspired by seeing the amount of things that are needlessly thrown away. It cannot have escaped your attention that we live in a throw away society, and I was well and truly part of that until one day...

We can build analogue synthesizers and effects units for you. Some of the synths I have made include the RE303 (TB303 clone) and Jasper (EDM Wasp clone). I have also built custom effects units and made modifications of original designs as well as making my own custom effects. I can build a synthesizer or botique guitar pedal for you, the sky really is the limit! Please contact me for more information.
We provide a full and comprehensive electrical design, installation and maintenance service. We can project manage every aspect from concept to finsihed article.
Mr Circuit can fix existing electrical systems such as CCTV, audio installations, and provide complete PAT testing services and maintenance. We are able to supply and fit offices with IT equipment and cloud intergrated network infrastructure for complete mobile working solutions. I am personally involved in designing customised electronic systems for various industrial applications. I have been heavily involved in environmental monitoring systems with integrated mesh networked sensor modules, and real time monitoring on mobile devices. Furthermore I have designed and programmed full PLC/ eSCADA systems using C++. We also offer a PCB design service using CAD deign software. We even design and build retro arcade games machines and cabinets. In the past we have even reverse engineered microchips in order to repair aging equipment, and been able to insert a digital system in place to provide the correct signals. With Mr Circuit, whatever your electronic application needs we can cater for your whether its a bit of needed maintenance, a PA system install, PCB design or building a state of the art mesh networked logical control system
At Mr Circuit we actually care that our customers are satisfied and that we are playing our part to protect the environment. We want to make repairing our electronics the default option and turn the tide against the throw away society.
Repair is sustainable, unlike extracting raw materials from the ground and using energy in manufacturing and shipping. Whilst recycling is better than throwing stuff away it still uses huge amounts of energy and is not as preferable as reusing things. By repairing our items and extending their lifespan we are being more responsible.
Manufacturers want you to throw away your perfectly good stuff and buy new so they can take more of your money. We have the right to demand well engineered products that are built to last and not designed to fail. We also have the right to access technical documentation, schematics, error codes, and expect things are user servicable with a supply of reasonably priced spare parts.
Repair can be learnt and problem solving is a useful life skill. Most people are put off from repair because they feel they lack the technical skills but in reality it is a logical process of elimination. It is actually a good thing to know how to repair things and one can derive alot of satisfaction from resurrecting a dead device.
Here are some example scenarios of our pricing. We will always be upfront with you but this is only a rough guide as there are many factors that may affect our estimates such as distance, accessabiltiy etc. Please contact us for more information
