Where we work · Salisbury

Wiltshire drives fail like everyone's. The post sorts out the rest.

Forty minutes up the A36 from Southampton, Salisbury sends us south Wiltshire's most ordinary disasters — externals knocked off desks, laptops that never wake, memory cards that met a kitchen floor. There is no counter to visit here or anywhere else: the device travels insured and tracked, the bench does the work, and the diagnosis costs you nothing.

What happens to a Salisbury case.

Posting beats drivingOne tracked parcel takes a Salisbury drive to our intake lab — quicker, and far kinder to it, than a drive down the A36 with the thing sliding about on the seat.
Packing is not a formalityUse the original case if you still have it, pad every face, and put the printed shipping form in the box. Two minutes on the contact page covers the lot.
Firms around the cityTills, office NAS boxes, anything holding several disks — ring before sending and we'll settle the route, with priority when a Salisbury firm has stopped.
Identical terms, whatever the postcodeDiagnosis free when it lands, a written quote that doesn't move, most jobs run no fix no fee, and return carriage paid back to SP1 or anywhere else.

Southampton Data Recovery successfully salvaged and restored my files and pictures on a Seagate External Hard Drive I had broken. Result, as had a lot of things on there I was not prepared to let go. Great service and communication!

Salisbury's questions, straight answers.

Is there a Salisbury office?

No — and any lab worth trusting won't have a counter in every town either. You send the device by insured, tracked post to our secure intake lab, it's diagnosed free on the day it arrives, and it travels home at our expense. All distance changes is the courier's route.

What's the postal time from Salisbury?

Usually the next working day on any tracked service — and diagnosis begins the morning the parcel lands with us. Plenty of Salisbury jobs have a written quote inside 48 hours of going over the post office counter.

Do you work with Salisbury businesses direct?

All the time — home offices, Market Square shops and back-office NAS boxes from the city are regulars here. Ring us before sending anything multi-drive or business-down, and it gets marked priority straight away.

Can a failed hard drive be posted safely?

Yes, if it's packed well — drives reach us from across Wiltshire and Hampshire in their thousands. Original case, plenty of padding, tracked and insured, shipping form inside the box: the contact page sets out the routine.

Salisbury sends a parcel; we do the rest.

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