Where we work · Havant

Emsworth to Hayling Island: tidal country, ordinary disk failures.

Havant sits east of Portsmouth between two harbours, with the A27 running through it, and its lost data splits along the same lines — caravan-park and beachfront offices on Hayling Island, firms up on Langstone Technology Park, houses in Emsworth or Leigh Park where ten summers live on one external. It all travels by post and is diagnosed free.

Sending it in: send it to our secure intake lab by tracked, fully insured post — return postage is on us — with the shipping form packed alongside. The complete packing routine sits on the contact page.

A Havant case, start to finish.

The season decides the queueAugust is no month to lose a holiday park's computer, so those jobs go to the front: worked without interruption, on dates we will actually stand behind.
Two harbours, one postal routeHayling Island, Emsworth, Waterlooville, Rowlands Castle and Leigh Park all sit on next-working-day tracked services. A tidal address is not an awkward one.
Memory cards off the waterRegattas off Hayling, sunsets over Langstone, drone footage — cards fail here all year round. The routine never changes: stop shooting, post it, and let format-aware recovery do the work.
One set of terms for everybodyNothing to pay for diagnosis, one written figure that stays fixed, no fix no fee on most work, and return postage covered — whether the parcel leaves a park office or a Leigh Park kitchen.

Havant's questions, answered without waffle.

Are Emsworth and Hayling Island in your area?

All of Havant borough — Emsworth, Waterlooville, Hayling Island, Rowlands Castle, Leigh Park, and every stretch of harbour shore between. We work through the post, so each Havant postcode sits exactly one parcel away from the bench.

Downtime would sink our seasonal trade — what can be done?

Tell us on the first call that the business is down and we run the case as priority: diagnosis the day it lands, then imaging without a break through working hours. Seasonal pressure is the reason priority sequencing exists.

The camera calls the card corrupt — can the photos be saved?

Usually yes. On most corrupt cards the pictures survive beneath a broken file structure, and a formatted card generally holds its images until fresh shots land on top. What decides it is putting the card away straight away.

Sending from around Havant — what is the safest method?

Send it tracked and insured, padded on every side, in its original case if you still have one, with our printed shipping form inside. The contact page runs through the steps — two minutes of work, then the courier does the travelling.
