Postal coverage · Arundel, BN18
Data recovery for Arundel. Under 3,500 people, and a great deal of archive.
Arundel is a town and civil parish of 3,498 people at the 2021 census, on figures aggregated from smaller census areas rather than published for parishes. It sits wholly inside the South Downs National Park, and its Catholic cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton. A castle, a cathedral and a wetland centre hold more records between them than a town this small suggests.

What Arundel sends the bench.
Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| The castle's collections and ticketing machine | A charitable company runs Arundel Castle, and charities keep records for a very long time | Image it, then read it |
| Event photography and video from a castle season | A day's cards, still the only copy while the season is busy | Card out of the body, nothing recorded after |
| Monitoring files from the wetland centre | Species counts, camera and acoustic recordings, and survey sheets filled in by volunteers | The disk, not the whole laptop |
| A CAD workstation out at Ford | Drilling-rig drawings that outlive three generations of hardware | Each disk bare, bay marked |
| A planning consultant's drive before a committee date | Drawings and heritage statements written for the South Downs National Park Authority | Tell us the date on the first call |
An Arundel case, start to finish.
Four questions out of Arundel.
We are nowhere near Brighton or Guildford. Does that slow anything down?
Not the work itself. Arundel station sits on the Arun Valley line, which meets the West Coastway at Arundel Junction, and the A27 runs east from the town through Worthing and Shoreham. Your disk travels by post whichever way you would drive, and the figure does not change.
We are a registered charity. Will your paperwork satisfy our auditors?
It should. One written quote before anything begins, a VAT invoice afterwards, and a listing of the recovered files for you to approve before payment. Nothing is opened and nothing is billed until you have agreed the figure in writing.
An archive volume will not mount. Is that as bad as it sounds?
Rarely. A volume that will not mount usually has a damaged partition table or file system sitting over data that reads perfectly well. Let nothing try to repair it, because a repair writes to the disk. Post it in and the work happens on an image.
Can you read a card from a day's event photography?
Usually. Cards give out at the controller far more often than in the flash itself, and the frames are normally still there to be read on Rusolut and our other flash tooling. Take the card out of the body and record nothing further on it.
