Postal coverage · Hove
Data recovery in Hove. One postcode, and no argument about which council.
Hove is half of a city rather than a town of its own, and BN3 sits wholly inside Brighton & Hove — one council, one post town, nothing to work out. What fails here is what the place does: regulated office files, county cricket administration, Brighton & Hove City Council's systems at Hove Town Hall, and a great many people whose whole business lives on one drive.

What arrives from Hove.
Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| A claims workstation from the Legal & General office | Group protection, pension risk transfer, long retention periods | Send the key, we image first |
| The 1st Central County Ground's ticketing drive | Sussex Cricket Limited owns the Eaton Road ground, played on since 1872 | Every disk, labelled by bay |
| A freelance editor's external, full of client work | The digital and media sector Wired Sussex speaks for runs on sole traders | Tell us what matters most |
| A depot machine from Conway Street | Scheduling and vehicle data that nobody thinks to print | Post the disk, not the tower |
| Twenty years of photographs on one home NAS | Goldsmid and Wish are full of boxes with no second copy | Switch it off before anything else |
How a Hove job runs.
In a client’s own words.
Read all nine reviews →I have a fashion brand and the Macs in the office all started failing. Of course not everyone was using the Dropbox link and were only saving locally! I wasted loads of time removing the HDD and trying free online recovery software before conceding I needed a professional. Brighton Data Recovery managed to get 99% of the files back, including all the designs for the new season and the photoshoot images. Worth every penny — I heartily recommend them.
Ciaran · HoveHove questions, answered plainly.
Is there anywhere in Hove I can hand a drive in?
No. It comes to us by post, or you can leave it with us in person: Guildford Data Recovery is at Building 2, Ground Floor, on Guildford Business Park in Guildford, GU2 8XH.
My work laptop is BitLocker-encrypted. Does that stop you?
No, but send the recovery key with it. We image the encrypted volume first and open the copy rather than the original, which matters when the files are regulated.
The four-bay NAS in the spare room has stopped. What do I post?
Every disk, each one labelled with its bay number, or the whole unit in its enclosure — a NAS may travel whole. Do not let it try to repair itself first; that is where real damage happens.
How much is it, and at what point will I know?
Free diagnosis, then one fixed written quote. Cards and sticks are priced from £250, a single drive at £300, a recorder at £400, multi-disk sets from £500 — every figure plus VAT.
