Areas we cover · Hailsham, BN27
Data recovery, Hailsham. Wealden's administrative centre, and 199 units behind it.
Hailsham is the administrative centre for Wealden District and with 23,411 inhabitants at the time of the 2021 Census, it is also one of the larger towns within that district. The area has no railway station. The A22 passes through the Hailsham parish and all traffic proceeding west from this point will have to go via Polegate. Data comes into our laboratory from 199 business premises (industrial units), a functioning livestock market and an all-through school. First get a quotation either by telephone or using the on-line enquiry form; these drives are normally transported to us by road in tracked, insured packages or if preferred, may be delivered directly to our Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, between 9am and 5:30pm (no appointment needed). All such drives will be processed alongside those from Brighton and tested at no cost.

How a Hailsham job runs.
Hailsham questions, straight answers.
Hailsham has no station. Does that make sending a drive harder?
In no way that really matters. The closest train station is Polegate and the A22 road runs directly through the parish, however a parcel will use neither of these. Get a quotation for your parcel before sending it, either via phone or using our online quote form. Your parcel will be tracked from the moment you purchase postage for it at a Post Office branch. Generally, if you send us your parcel on a Wednesday we can expect to diagnose it on the Thursday. Alternatively, please feel free to drop your parcel into our Guildford intake lab during working hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (no appointment needed).
We farm. What is worth sending when the office computer stops?
The disk, not the tower. Your herd records, movement licences, tag data and the year's financials are likely all stored on one hard drive. Only this hard drive comes in to us: get a quote first over the phone or with the quote form, then just send the hard drive by itself. Please let us know what needs to be returned to you first, as the order of the work will follow your response.
A machine controller in the workshop has gone. Is that recoverable?
Frequently. Most industrial control boards use standard flash memory and/or standard hard drives or flash cards, and the bench has been set up for both types. We can provide you with a free diagnosis using the following tools: ACE Lab PC-3000, DeepSpar, Atola, R-Studio, UFS Explorer, Rusolut, Klennet, and Passware. First, obtain a price quotation either via telephone or by completing and submitting the quote form, then send in the hard drive or flash card alone (do not send in the controller unit itself). If the flash memory is soldered onto the board, we do not accept such items. Also, if you are unsure whether you have a standard flash memory device or an embedded device, please call us first. The free diagnosis will then tell you plainly where it stands.
How does a Wealden business get a figure it can put on a purchase order?
A free diagnosis is done first. Then one fixed written quote is given before any work is started. No additional charges will ever be applied. If the hard drive requires disassembly, half of the total amount quoted will need to be paid prior to proceeding with the recovery.
