SP9 and SP11 · Tidworth and Ludgershall
Data recovery for Tidworth. The family photographs, after several moves.
There were over 11,000 people living in Tidworth parish as of the 2021 census, and 5,390 in Ludgershall. Tidworth is a post town in its own right, and roughly 230 of the SP9 postcodes fall within Wiltshire and 43 across the border in Test Valley. Neither place has a railway station, so everything travels by road to the A303.

What Tidworth posts.
Not listed? Try the fault finder →| The complaint | Why it happens here | First step |
|---|---|---|
| A family external carried through three postings | Households here typically move home every two or three years. | Quote first, then send the drive, not the computer |
| A memory card that stopped being readable | Cards get filled, then read once too often. | Eject it and leave it alone |
| The computer at home will not turn on | One machine holds both the album and the paperwork. | Copy it while it still reads |
| A small trader's laptop with their diary on it. | Childcare, removals, vehicle work: one PC and no second copy | Ring before you try anything else |
| A facilities contractor's NAS with one bad disk. | All asset, scheduling and estate information is stored in the same box | Power it down; the unit travels whole |
A Tidworth job, start to finish.
Tidworth, four plain answers.
No station here. How does a drive reach you?
Get a quote first, by phone or with the form, then send it by post, the same as everything else in SP9, or drop it off at the Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. The Ludgershall railway station closed in 1961 and in 1963 the Tidworth branch stopped carrying public traffic, so if sending by post you would need to go through the counter in the town and use a tracked postal label. It is logged and diagnosed free the morning it arrives.
Our photographs have moved house with every posting.
That is by far the most usual type of job from Tidworth, and the drive is usually the sole remaining copy. Do not plug it in again to see whether it is behaving: each time you turn it on, something is written to it. Indicate which years you consider most important and the reading will be arranged around those years.
Can you take service-issued equipment from the garrison?
No. Whatever is issued by the Department stays within the Department. Only civilian equipment arrives here: home machines, family external drives, small-business laptops and contractors' own kit.
Is one small drive worth your time?
This is just another job. Diagnosis has no cost; before a single step of work is taken, a written quote reaches you. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data, and when your recovered data returns to you, it does so on new media with the return postage already paid.
