Heathfield data recovery. The town that lit its station with its own gas.

Heathfield Station was lit using gas from a borehole drilled for water by the railway at the entrance to Heathfield Tunnel in 1895. Gas was discovered at 312 feet. The gas was exhausted by 1934 and Heathfield has been without passenger trains since 1965. It has moved by road ever since. A failed drive is also sent by road. Please get a quote before sending your drive. This may be done over the telephone or via the quotation form. After this your drive will normally go by road to the post office and then to the bench, or you can leave your drive at our Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (no appointment needed). Either way your drive will receive the same treatment as a drive submitted in Brighton.

How a Heathfield job runs.

No station, so the post usually does itThe parish of Heathfield and Waldron had 12,169 residents at the time of the last census taken in 2021, and this number was slightly higher (approximately 12,512) by mid year of 2024, however not one resident within those numbers has an ability to place a drive on a train from this location. A soft padded box accomplishes the exact same thing.
Where the parcel is addressedPlease contact us to obtain a quote by either telephoning us or filling in our quotation form. Once you have obtained a quote please send your drive to Guildford Data Recovery at Building 2, Ground Floor, Guildford Business Park, Guildford, GU2 8XH. Alternatively, you can visit our Guildford intake lab and hand in your drive during normal working hours, i.e., Monday to Friday from 9am to 5:30pm (no appointment needed). An external hard disk drive should be sent whole, in its enclosure, with its cable and power supply. If you have a NAS unit your disks should be removed and each labelled with their position within the NAS unit, and only the disks sent. If you are unable to remove the disks from your NAS unit we would prefer to see it in one piece. For RAID systems, the individual disks should be extracted and each labelled according to which position they occupied in the RAID system. Do not send mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets.
A free look, then one figure£300 + VAT for one hard drive. Memory card and stick prices start from £250 + VAT; video/CCTV recorders are £400 + VAT. Prices for multi-disk units commence from £500 + VAT. Diagnosis free. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
If the drive has to be openedWhen a drive needs to be disassembled, half of the quoted price is due at that stage. Nothing else changes; the original written price is applied, and the recovered data is sent back to you on new media with postage included.

Heathfield questions, answered straight.

There is no data recovery shop in Heathfield — what do we do?

We do not offer a counter service in Heathfield. First get a quote, either by calling us or using the form, then post your device, or bring it to our Guildford intake lab yourself, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (no appointment needed). If you would prefer to speak to someone before sending your device, please ring 01273 964902 (same hours); two minutes of conversation should settle which components need to be removed from the machine and how they should be packaged.

How long does a Heathfield job take?

Normally parcels posted today will be sitting on our bench tomorrow morning to have them assessed free of charge and to obtain quotes. After being assessed, quotes are provided to you in writing before any restoration work has begun. Deleted files and/or partitions can often be restored within a couple of days after you have approved the work. Any mechanical issues may require additional time and we clearly indicate what type of issue we are dealing with first.

Will you look at a farm or contractor's machine?

Yes. Accounts, land documents, job sheets and survey cards are just some examples of the information we receive from around the parish. First get a quote, either by contacting us by telephone or through the form, then remove the hard disk from your computer and send that, along with a record of any sounds or errors the unit gave prior to removing it.

And if nothing is recoverable?

In most cases you only pay for services rendered if we successfully recover your lost or damaged data. You are advised as to whether your data can be recovered or not the very same day that the evaluation process is complete, and the amount shown on the original written quote is the only price discussed throughout the entire evaluation process.

Heathfield sends it tracked; the diagnosis follows.

Switch off the unit, report the problem and allow us to diagnose it free of charge, before you have to make any decisions.
