Areas we cover · East Grinstead
Data recovery, East Grinstead. The offices became homes; the work stayed.
East Grinstead sits where four counties meet, and its fast electrified line runs north to London rather than south to Brighton. Mid Sussex District Council counts 82 prior-approval applications since May 2013 to turn offices in the town into homes, a large number of them clustered here. The work did not stop. It moved into spare rooms and small units, where there is no IT department and nothing behind the one disk.

The jobs East Grinstead sends us.
Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| A laptop that is now the whole company | The office stock turned residential; the computing moved into houses | One drive, no second copy |
| An accountant's NAS box with a failed member | Small advisory practices keep their working records on one shared unit | Every member, labelled |
| A clinician's own laptop holding years of teaching material | Trust IT covers the clinical systems; a personal laptop is outside it | Power down before the second |
| A scanned archive on a volunteer's external drive | Heritage collections are digitised on donated, elderly hardware | It degrades; send it early |
| A server that came back encrypted | One shared drive, nobody in IT | Leave it alone; our ransomware page helps |
Working an East Grinstead job.
What East Grinstead wants to know.
Is there anywhere in East Grinstead to call in?
No. The one bench is at Guildford Business Park, and everything reaches it by tracked, insured post, or is handed in there. That suits a town whose fast line runs the other way: the parcel travels, not you.
We work from a converted office at home. Does that matter?
Not to the bench. It matters to you, because a home set-up usually has one disk doing everything and nothing standing behind it. Tell us what is on the drive when you call, and the answer follows from that.
Can you rebuild an array without the original box?
Yes. Every disk is imaged, and the rebuild is done from those images. Each disk needs its bay number written on it; the box itself stays with you.
What does an East Grinstead job cost?
Free diagnosis, then a written quote that is fixed from then on. One drive is £300 + VAT; a memory card or stick starts at £250 + VAT. Where a drive must be opened, half the fee is payable before that work.
