GU35 · Bordon and Whitehill

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

Bordon's built-up area was put at 10,827 in the mid-2024 ONS estimate, and East Hampshire District Council describes the wider community as around 14,000 people today, growing to over 23,000. The town lies in the civil parish of Whitehill. There has been no station since 1966, so the way out is the A325 onto the A31, and a relief road arrived with the regeneration.

What happens to a Bordon parcel.

A town under construction2,400 homes have already been delivered at Whitehill & Bordon by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and its partners, the former barracks are being redeveloped as Prince Philip Park, and The Land Trust looks after over 100 hectares of green space.
No station, and no plan for oneBordon's line shut 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. Posting the drive is simpler than either.
The garrison has goneThe Army left Bordon in the mid-2010s and moved its REME training to Lyneham in Wiltshire. This is a civilian service, and service-issued equipment stays out of scope.
One price, and it holdsFree diagnosis, a fixed written quote before any work begins, no fee on most jobs, and fresh media home with the postage paid.

Four things Bordon asks.

Bordon has no station. Does that matter?

Not to a parcel. The line shut in 1966 and the 2012 proposal to put it back was never carried out, so GU35 posts its drives like anywhere else: a tracked label from a counter in the town, logged and diagnosed free 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 — diagnosis the day the parcel lands, imaging worked through Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm, then a finish date you can plan against as soon as diagnosis supports one.

Can a server be read without its original hardware?

Yes. The array is put back together here from images of the disks, so no matching controller has to be hunted down. Send every member labelled with its bay position, and do not let the box rebuild.

Does a damp site drive stand a chance?

Often. Site-cabin kit picks up damp, and damp begins corrosion on a board months before anything shows on screen. Say what conditions it lived in, leave the drying alone, and it is opened under clean air if the platters have to be reached.

A GU35 parcel is the whole journey.

Switch it off, describe what went wrong, and take a free diagnosis before you commit to anything.
