Where we work · Chandler's Ford

Data recovery, Chandler's Ford. Depot ledgers, school registers, the drive under the stairs.

Chandler's Ford is a civil parish in the Borough of Eastleigh rather than a town in its own right, and the 2011 Census counted 21,436 people across its two wards. Draper Tools is registered on Hursley Road, Selwood keeps its pump depot on Bournemouth Road, and the M3 runs along the eastern edge.

Step by step, a Chandler's Ford case.

A station that came back in 2003Chandler's Ford station reopened in 2003, having been shut since 1969, and South Western Railway runs hourly each way between Romsey and Salisbury by way of Eastleigh and Southampton Central. For the M3 it is junction 12 from the north, 13 from the south.
Two employers, two kinds of fileDraper Tools has been registered on Hursley Road since 1956 and wholesales machine tools; Selwood runs its pump and water-management depot on Bournemouth Road, part of The Workdry Group. Both generate the sort of records nobody keeps twice.
Schools and colleges, term by termThornden and Toynbee are the secondary schools, with Barton Peveril and Eastleigh College close by. Term systems pile up registers, coursework and reports, and the summer is when an old server finally gives up.

What Chandler's Ford asks us most.

Is there anywhere in Chandler's Ford to hand a drive in?

No. It travels to Guildford by tracked post, which needs nobody waiting in and beats a trip up the M3. The free diagnosis starts on the morning the parcel lands.

A depot PC will not show its job records. Where do we start?

With the power off. Whatever the fault turns out to be, running the machine again writes more to the disk. Ring us, say what happened, and between us we set out what travels and how it gets boxed.

Can pictures be taken off a card that formatted itself?

Nearly always. Formatting rebuilds the index and leaves the frames where they were, provided nothing new has been written since. Take the card out and do not put it back.

Will someone collect from a Chandler's Ford business?

No. There is no van and no engineer on the road. A tracked courier is quicker and handles the parcel better; for a server or anything oversized, call us first and the packing gets worked out there and then.

Chandler's Ford sends the parcel; we do the rest.

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