Areas we cover · Chichester
A cathedral city’s data: creative, rural, and rarely backed up.
Chichester mixes theatre programmes with farm accounts, festival photography with harbour-side home offices — and the drives that carry it all fail the same ways they do everywhere. The far side of the county changes nothing about the process: tracked post in, free diagnosis on arrival, fixed quote before any work.

What reaches us from Chichester.
Something else? Run the triage →| The situation | Why it's a local regular | First move |
|---|---|---|
| A photographer's card from a Goodwood weekend | Motorsport and festival shoots produce cards that must not fail — and sometimes do | Stop shooting on it instantly |
| A theatre or gallery Mac that won't wake | The city's creative institutions run on Macs with long memories | Mac recovery, drive-level |
| A farm office PC after a power blip | Rural supply and single-phase surprises meet ageing desktops | Board damage, data usually fine |
| The harbour-side consultancy's external drive | Client work at the end of a long lane, one copy deep | Post it before it worsens |
| A student's dissertation drive from the university | Deadline-shaped emergencies with a term's work aboard | Say the date; we'll sequence |
How Chichester cases run.
Asked from Chichester, answered straight.
You're the far side of the county — does that slow anything?
Only by one parcel-day, and usually not even that: tracked services from Chichester arrive next working morning, and diagnosis starts on arrival. The county is smaller than it feels.
Can you recover photos from a formatted or corrupt card?
Very often — formatting typically clears the index, not the images, and corrupt shoot files are usually rebuildable. The rule that decides it: nothing new written to the card afterwards.
We're a Chichester business with a dead machine — what's the drill?
Call, describe what failed and what it runs, and we'll agree the route: which parts to send, how to pack, whether the case warrants priority. The diagnosis is free either way.
Do you collect from the Chichester area?
Tracked courier is faster and safer than any van for standard kit; for genuinely awkward jobs — servers, fragile or bulky equipment — call and we'll agree the sensible route.
