PO7 and PO8 · Waterlooville
Data recovery for Waterlooville. Built along the old A3, bypassed since 1985.
Waterlooville was originally established along an old section of the A3 highway from London to Portsmouth, but has had its traffic routed around it via a bypass road that opened in 1985. The town of Waterlooville is the largest settlement in the Borough of Havant and had a population of 34,775 as per the results of the UK census for 2021. However, a small portion of the town falls within the boundaries of the City of Winchester district. There are 122 registered businesses based at Brambles Enterprise Centre on Waterberry Drive alone; HSDC's South Downs campus offers T Levels and apprenticeships; and Wellington Way is the regeneration area for the centre of Waterlooville.

|---|---|---|
| A serviced-office PC containing the whole ledger | There are 122 companies operating from just Waterberry Drive, and they all share one postcode. | Imaged before anything is changed |
| A trade firm's backup drive that never actually ran | Invoices, certificates and job photos, all stored on one unchecked external | Recovery ours, rebuild yours |
| A two-bay NAS reporting its volume has crashed | Consultancies store their shared folder on one machine | Power down, then image both disks |
| A T Level portfolio on a student's laptop | Coursework at the South Downs campus is kept on local drives. | Always image first |
| An independent shop's USB stick holding the year's accounts. | High-street traders copy to whatever is found in the drawer. | Onto the flash bench, unchanged |

Straight answers for Waterlooville.
Part of the town is in Winchester. Does that change anything?
Not for us. Havant Borough Council covers the majority of Waterlooville and the City of Winchester district takes a corner of it, and whichever it is, the parcel, price and order of work are all the same.
Can somebody call in and pick the machine up?
No. There is no local office for you to visit, there is no van that can come to your place of work, and no-one will ever visit your premises. Get a quote first, by phone or with the form. Then post us the drive tracked, or drop it off at the intake laboratory at Guildford, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed.
One disk has gone from the office server. Post the box?
Get your quote first, by phone or with the form, then send your disks. A NAS in one piece is acceptable, however a server or a collection of disks that are controlled by a controller will need to be deconstructed (with each disk clearly labelled as to which bay it was placed in). Please do not attempt to build your system back up again until there are images created.
Our external sat in a room that took water. Worth posting?
Yes. First get a quote, by phone or with the form. Next send your wet drive to us so that it doesn't dry. Heat and running it on power is what will turn damp into corrosion. Put the unit in a sealed plastic bag, write down what it was standing in and for how long, and let the no-cost diagnosis do the rest.
