Where we work · Hedge End
Data recovery in Hedge End. School servers, shop back offices, the drive in the loft.
Hedge End has been a town since 1992 and had 20,790 people at the 2011 Census. The M27 brought office parks, out-of-town superstores and new housing with it, and the station on the Eastleigh to Fareham line arrived in the early nineties. What fails here is ordinary, and it travels by post.

Not listed? Try the fault finder →| The complaint | Why it happens here | First step |
|---|---|---|
| A retail back-office PC after a long trading day | Tills, stock counts and rotas on one machine behind the shop | The disk travels; the counter stays open |
| A school server that will not finish booting | Registers, safeguarding records and coursework, all in the same room | Bare disks, bay order marked on each |
| An office-park desktop after a power cut | Admin systems nobody thought to copy anywhere else | The board is usually the part that failed |
| A commuter's laptop that went over on the platform | Portable machines take knocks that a desktop never will | Send the drive on its own |
| A family external drive that has gone quiet | Twenty years of photographs and one copy of them | Unplug it and stop trying |

Straight answers for Hedge End.
Which parts of Hedge End do you take work from?
All of SO30, and the streets off St Johns Road or Bursledon Road exactly like anywhere else. Post is what joins you to the bench, so the whole parish starts level.
A school office server has stopped. What is the first move?
Leave it switched off and let nobody attempt a rebuild. Tell us how many disks it holds and which bay each sat in, then send them bare and labelled. Every disk is imaged before the set is touched.
A memory stick is not being read. Is it worth sending?
Usually. Flash chips outlive their controllers and their solder joints by a wide margin, so a stick the computer ignores is often readable at chip level. Stop plugging it in and post it.
Does a price come before the work or after it?
Before. Diagnosis is free, then one fixed written quote follows, and nothing at all is done until you accept that figure. No fee on most jobs.
