Shoreham to Lancing: the short hop with the full service.

Adur is practically next door — Shoreham's harbour and houseboats, Lancing's college and commuters, Southwick between — and it sends us everything from teachers' laptops to ransomed business PCs. Two of the reviews on this site came from this district. The service that earned them starts the same way: post it tracked, diagnosis free.

Tracked post-in · free return Free diagnosis on arrival Fixed written quotes

How Adur cases run.

Next door, same rulesBeing close changes the postage time, not the process: tracked in, booked on arrival, free diagnosis, fixed quote. Shoreham parcels often land next morning.
Salt air and houseboatsAdur hardware lives nearer the water than most. Corrosion and damp cases follow the environmental-damage route — don't power on, don't dry it creatively, just send it.
Schools, colleges, courseworkTerm-shaped deadlines get term-shaped honesty: tell us the hand-in date and the case is sequenced against it, with the realistic answer given early.
Proof from the districtKatie's Toshiba and Luke's ransomed Dell — both Adur, both on our reviews page in their own words. The bar they set is the one every new case gets.

In a client's own words.

I am a teacher at Lancing College and I dropped my Toshiba laptop that contained 5 years of teaching resources and was broken beyond repair. All I had to do was drop it in — they removed the HDD and worked on the data recovery. I'm pleased to report they were able to pull all the data from the hard drive and I had it all back in my possession within 3 days. Thanks for your hard work.

Asked from Adur, answered straight.

Do you cover Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing and Southwick?

The whole Adur district — and it's among our nearest patches, so parcels tend to arrive fastest of all. Same free diagnosis, same fixed quotes, minus a few postal hours.

A drive from a boat or beach-side home — anything special?

Mention the environment when you book it in. Damp, salt and condensation change the handling on arrival — and the one rule beforehand is absolute: don't power it on to check.

We've had a ransomware note in Shoreham — first move?

Disconnect the machine from the network — not from power decisions made in panic — photograph the note, and call. Our ransomware page carries the full first-hour playbook; a district neighbour's recovery is on our reviews page.

How fast can Adur cases realistically run?

Among the fastest: next-morning arrival is normal, diagnosis starts that day, and the Lancing case in the review above went from broken laptop to data-in-hand in three days.

Adur to the bench: one tracked parcel.

Power the device down, tell us what happened, and let the diagnosis be free before any decision has to be.
