GU35 · Bordon and Whitehill

Data recovery in Bordon. A town being built, and the drives that record it.

Bordon's built-up area was estimated by the Office for National Statistics at 10,827 people in mid-2024. East Hampshire District Council says the wider community is around 14,000 people today, growing to over 23,000. The town of Bordon lies within the civil parish of Whitehill. Since the station closed in 1966, the way out of Bordon has been the A325 onto the A31, and a relief road arrived with the regeneration.

What happens to a Bordon parcel.

A town under constructionThe Defence Infrastructure Organisation and its partners plan for 2,400 homes at Whitehill & Bordon. The former barracks are being redeveloped as Prince Philip Park, and The Land Trust manages more than 100 hectares of green space.
No station, and no plan for oneBordon railway station closed in 1966, and the 2012 study that costed a link to the Alton line at £170m was never carried out. Liphook and Alton are the working stations. Sending the hard disk is easier than either.
The garrison has goneThe Army left Bordon during the middle of the 2010s and moved its REME training to Lyneham in Wiltshire. This is a civilian service, and therefore any service-issued hardware remains outside of our remit.
One price, and it holdsA free diagnosis of your system, a fixed written quote for recovery prior to starting any work, in most cases you only pay if we recover your data, and you receive brand-new media back (postage paid).

Four things Bordon asks.

Bordon has no station. Does that matter?

Not to a parcel. The railway closed in 1966 and the plans proposed in 2012 to reopen the line were never carried out, so GU35 residents post their hard disks as they would anywhere else: a tracked postal label from a counter in the town, and the drive is logged and diagnosed free of charge on the morning it reaches the bench.

The build runs to a programme. How quickly can you move?

Give us the date that binds and the case is ordered against it: we diagnose the day the package arrives, imaging is done Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, and then we give you a completion date you can plan against once the diagnosis supports one.

Can a server be read without its original hardware?

Yes. The array is rebuilt here using disk images, so there is no need to hunt for a matching controller. First get a quote, by phone or with our quote request form, then send each member labelled with the bay number where it was located. Do not let the box rebuild.

Does a damp site drive stand a chance?

Often. Site-cabin kit picks up moisture, which starts corroding the boards months before any sign shows on screen. Please describe the conditions the unit has lived in. Leave all the drying alone, and if the platters need to be reached, an engineer will open it.

Quote first; then a GU35 parcel is the whole journey.

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