Areas we cover · Hastings

Old Town, new drives, same physics.

Hastings runs on creativity and salt air — St Leonards studios, Old Town traders, a fishing fleet older than photography and a lot of photography about the fishing fleet. Its failed drives ride the same tracked post as the rest of the county, and meet the same free diagnosis at the other end.

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

How Hastings cases run.

Creative work, treated as workPortfolio drives and project archives get business-grade handling: priorities named, verification against your folder list, confidentiality as standard.
The 1066 postal routeHastings and St Leonards sit on ordinary next-working-day tracked services to the bench — the far end of the county is one parcel away, same as the near end.
Salt, damp and honestyCoastal hardware fails coastally. Declare the exposure, skip the radiator, and let corrosion be treated properly on arrival — the environmental page has the full don't-do list.
Terms without small printFree diagnosis, one fixed written quote, no fix no fee on most jobs, free return postage — the Old Town rate and the everywhere rate are the same rate.

Asked from Hastings, answered straight.

Do you cover Hastings and St Leonards?

Both, completely — coverage is the tracked-post network, so the east of the county is exactly as close to the bench as the west. Next-working-day arrival is the norm.

Can you recover creative project files and portfolios?

It's a staple: design archives, photo libraries, edit drives. Tell us the priority folders and the deadline if there is one — verification checks your list first, and sequencing respects real dates.

A drive from a damp flat has failed — anything special?

Say so when booking in and resist every home remedy: no powering on to test, no airing cupboards, no rice. Moisture cases are recoverable when they arrive untreated.

What does distance from Brighton actually cost us?

A postage label and a day in transit — nothing else. The diagnosis is free, the quote is fixed in writing, and return postage is on us to any Hastings postcode.
