Where we work · Fareham

Portchester to Warsash: a single postal route to the bench.

Fareham sits on the M27 midway between Southampton and Portsmouth, and that shapes what fails here: work laptops that spend their lives commuting between the two cities, and home NAS boxes in Whiteley and Locks Heath nobody looks at until they stop. Both take the identical tracked route to the identical free diagnosis.

The shape of a Fareham case.

Sat on the M27Everywhere in the borough has fast postal links — something handed in at Portchester is usually on the bench by the next working morning.
NAS boxes everywhereSynology and QNAP units are the local standard, RAID 5 more often than not. When one goes degraded: cut the power, mark the bay order, and let the array be rebuilt from images.
Home desks, lab recoveryThe current local hazard is client work living on one external drive. Tell us what it holds when it dies and we'll order the queue to suit.
One set of terms, borough-wideFree diagnosis, one written quote that stays fixed, most jobs no fix no fee, return postage paid — Portchester, Titchfield, Stubbington, Whiteley and the villages between.

Fareham asks, we answer directly.

Is Portchester, Titchfield or Stubbington covered?

All three, and everywhere in between — what covers you here is the post, not a driving radius, so every part of the borough sits the same distance from the bench.

Can I drop something off in Fareham?

No. Tracked post does the job of a drop-off, and it moves quicker than you'd expect: parcels usually land the next working day, and diagnosis begins that morning.

Synology is reporting a crashed volume — what next?

Switch it off and leave Repair alone. Three quite different faults produce that same message, and each wants the opposite response — the Synology page sets it out, and imaging first shuts no doors.

Can a business-critical job be fast-tracked from here?

Yes — tell us work has halted and we run it as priority: first in the imaging queue, worked solidly through our opening hours, and an honest timescale once diagnosis allows one.

The Fareham drive travels; you stay put.

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