Data recovery in Ferndown. Files a machine shop cannot retype.

Ferndown has no station and sits beside the A31 between Wimborne and Ringwood. Its industrial estate spans approximately 150 acres and uses a Wimborne address even though the units are based here: Brighter Manufacturing machines titanium and Inconel on Haviland Road, while Farrow & Ball's registered office sits along the same corridor at Uddens. The schools here run in three tiers, first to upper.

How a Ferndown job runs.

A Wimborne address, a Ferndown unitPosted from Ferndown Industrial Estate, the label states Wimborne, BH21 7xx. That is correct, though it often confuses people, and it does not affect where the package ends up.
The A31 does the drivingNo railway station, and none needed. Next-working-day tracked services leave counters all around BH21 and BH22 daily, and we pay the postage back home.
One copy, one householdThirty-eight per cent of Ferndown is sixty-five or over according to Dorset Council's figures, and the community hospital at St Leonards is located along the A31. In a lot of those houses the photographs exist only once. Do not retry the drive.
The figure does not moveFree diagnosis, followed by one written quote for the work. A single drive costs £300 + VAT. If your data spans several disks, work starts from £500 + VAT. Memory cards and memory sticks start at £250 + VAT. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data, and data returns on fresh media.

Ferndown, four questions answered.

Which Ferndown postcodes do you cover?

BH21 and BH22 both, from the estate on the northern edge round to the Parley side. Get a quote first, by phone or with the form, then post it from a counter in either area and the parcel is logged the next working morning, whatever address is written on the label.

Can you read CNC and CAD files off a workshop machine?

Regularly. A shop cutting titanium or Inconel cannot set a job up again from memory; the traceability records, the inspection records and the toolpaths are the job. Tell us which job numbers matter most and the returned, checked listing will be sorted accordingly.

The only copy of our family photographs is on one old desktop. Now what?

Unplug the computer and walk away. Repeatedly attempting to start a failing disk will turn a readable disk into an unreadable one. Get a quote first, by phone or with the form, then post us the drive itself, not your entire desktop.

Ferndown has no station — does that slow anything down?

No, because nothing travels by rail. A post counter, a tracked label and the A31 handle all the transportation, and we cover the cost of postage back to any BH21 or BH22 address.
