Areas we cover · Horley
Data recovery in Horley. The one town here with a direct line to Brighton.
Horley shares RH6 with Gatwick, and the town council's own history puts it plainly: after the war the town's main industry moved from farming to serving the airport. It shows. 28,135 people held airport passes during 2025, and more than half of Gatwick Airport Limited's own staff live inside the RH postcodes. The station sits on the Brighton Main Line between Salfords and Gatwick, so the southbound line is real here in a way it is not further north.

What Horley sends us.
Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| A ground-handling server that stopped mounting its array | Rosters, loads and duty records, all on one box in one unit | Send the set, bays marked |
| A laptop that lives in a shoulder bag | Shift work is hard on a machine that is never put down | The dropped-drive rules apply |
| A hotel's booking archive on a disk that has started clicking | Over a hundred businesses sit on the Metro and Bridge estates, most with one server each | Power down before the second |
| A guest house recorder the insurer wants footage from | Recorders write over themselves, oldest first | Give us the dates before it wraps |
| A ransomware note on a Monday morning | Small network, one server, one backup disk, both encrypted | Pull it off the network first |
How a Horley case runs.
Horley asks, we answer plainly.
Is there somewhere in Horley we can bring it?
Not in Horley. The bench is one place and everything comes to it, which is why it is equipped the way it is. Post it, or take it in yourself to Guildford Data Recovery at Building 2, Ground Floor, Guildford Business Park, in Guildford GU2 8XH.
We're down. How quickly can you realistically work?
Tell us that when you ring and the job is sequenced accordingly. Your parcel gets its first look on the day it arrives, imaging carries on through our hours, Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm, and a date follows when the diagnosis will carry one.
Can you read a server's array without its controller?
Yes. Each disk is imaged separately, then the array is rebuilt from those images, so the original controller is not wanted. Send every member, labelled with whichever bay it came out of, including any the controller had written off.
What should a Horley business do first?
Ring 01273 964902 before anything gets unplugged or rebuilt. Two minutes about what stopped and what runs on it settles which disks to pull, how to mark them and how they should travel.
