Data recovery for Bognor Regis. Sound stages, edit suites and a branch line.

Bognor Regis is a seaside town and civil parish with a population of 25,025 (as per the 2021 Census), within the administrative area of Arun District Council and West Sussex County Council. Its station is the end of the branch line from Barnham; the road runs north to the A27 and west past Chichester, Havant and Portsmouth to the M27. The two postcodes, PO21 and PO22, hold a university campus, a logistics centre and a resort open since 1960.

The complaintWhy it happens hereFirst step
An edit suite's drive that stopped mountingSound stages and edit suites create extremely large filesGet a quote, then post it before anything overwrites it
A studio session disk that won't openMultitrack sessions and stems are held in one project folderGet a quote; send the disk, not the desk
A logistics PC holding all the parts and vehicle recordsInbound stock, distribution and car preparation all take place at Oldlands FarmSwitch off before the second
A resort office NAS that quietly dropped a diskEntertainment schedules, bookings and a season of photographsGet a quote from us first, then send the disks marked by bay (or the entire NAS if they won't pop out)

Sending your device to us: first, get a quote, by phone or with the form. After you have received the quote you will then send it to us at our secure intake laboratory based in Guildford via tracked post that is fully insured. Return postage is free, so you do not incur additional expense. Pack the shipping form alongside it. Alternatively, you are able to drop it off at the Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. A complete description of how to pack your device is located at the posting details link.

How a Bognor Regis job is run.

Resort and logisticsButlin's has run a holiday resort here since 1960, and it was acquired by the Harris family in 2022. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars keeps its Technology and Logistics Centre at Oldlands Farm, PO22 9FJ, in Arun district.
Video, audio and render filesThe University of Chichester's £35 million Tech Park is located on the university's Bognor Regis campus, which houses sound stages, edit suites, recording studios and 3D printers. Uncompressed video and multitrack sessions fill disks quickly.
Racks, arrays and bay orderAssign a bay number to each disk as it is removed from the rack; include the disks the controller flagged as failed; and do not select “Rebuild” until images exist.
Invoices and a checked file listA single written quote that is fixed, a VAT invoice, and a list of what was returned, checked by you before any payment is made.

Four Bognor Regis questions, answered.

Do you have a Bognor Regis office?

No. There isn't a counter in either PO21 or PO22, and one fully stocked bench beats a shopfront that can only take parcels in. First get a quote, by phone or with our quote form, then post your drive on a tracked service, or drop it off at the Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. Diagnosis begins the day it arrives, and the price is agreed in writing before a case is opened.

An edit suite has stopped and the project is due. How quickly can you act?

If there's an urgent deadline, please tell us over the telephone and the case is worked first: we will diagnose it the day it arrives, with imaging running Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. After we've made the diagnosis, we'll give you a date. Video volumes are slow to image, and we would rather say that than guess.

Can an array be read without the original controller?

Yes. As each member disk is imaged individually and the set is then rebuilt from those images, matching hardware is unnecessary. First, get a quote by phone or with our quote form. Then send all of your disks (including failed drives), each marked with its bay. Start no rebuild.

Does posting from PO21 or PO22 change the price?

It does not. Any multi-disk job starts at £500 + VAT. A recorder costs £400 + VAT. A single hard drive costs £300 + VAT. Memory cards and sticks start at £250 + VAT. Diagnosis before any of that is always free.

Quote first, then from a PO21 desk to the bench in one tracked parcel.

Turn it off. Explain what went wrong. Get a free diagnosis before you make any commitments.
