Where we work · Hythe
Data recovery for Hythe. Process data, port data, and the drive in the spare room.
Hythe and Dibden is located on the Waterside, with Fawley to its south and Marchwood to its north, and the A326 threads all three together off the M27. The population of Hythe was recorded as 20,526 in the 2011 Census. There is no passenger railway on this shore, which is why work reaching our bench from SO45 arrives as a parcel.

What Hythe and the Waterside send.
Not listed? Try the fault finder →| The complaint | Why it happens here | First step |
|---|---|---|
| A contractor's laptop after a Fawley shutdown | All inspection notes, method statements and site photographs stored on a single machine. | The hard drive travels to us while your laptop stays at home |
| A logistics PC in a Marchwood office | Warehouse records for shipments, customs documentation and movement tracking for vehicles all on the same device | Recovery ours, rebuild yours |
| A boatyard's shared disks that stopped mounting | Customer job sheets, hull records and all related customer files stored on a very small RAID storage unit | Power it down and label the bays |
| Filled-up camera card from along Hythe Pier | Hythe Pier opened again in April 2026 and the photography began again | Always image first |
| An external drive from a damp garage shelf | Salt air corrodes the enclosure board long before the platters are affected | Don't try to dry it out by yourself: get a quote, then post it to us as it is. |
How a Hythe job runs, end to end.
Hythe questions, straight answers.
Do you cover Fawley and Marchwood as well as Hythe?
Yes: all of SO45, which includes Hythe and Fawley, SO40 at Marchwood, and the parishes along the A326 between them. Because everything moves by tracked post, or is dropped off at the Guildford intake lab (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed), no Waterside location is farther from the bench than another.
Contract work has stopped without that drive. Can it be hurried?
Say so on the first call. A job that has stopped work goes first into the imaging queue and is worked throughout the entire day, and the written figure reaches you before your package is opened rather than after.
The camera calls the card corrupt. Are the pictures gone?
Usually not. On most corrupted memory cards the images are still intact, beneath a broken file structure. When a memory card is reformatted, those images remain intact until new files replace them. Store the memory card somewhere safe right now.
Posting a drive from the Waterside — how should it be packed?
First get a quote, by phone or with the form, then post the item to us. Send it by a tracked service and insure the contents. Put padding around the item on every side to protect it in transit, and include the printed shipping form in the packaging. Send the hard drive itself, not the computer; a NAS unit may be sent whole if its disks will not come out, but servers or RAID sets should come as bare disks, each labelled by bay.
