Data recovery for Newhaven. Quayside kit, bench work.

Newhaven is a working port town of 12,854 people: an international ferry terminal, Veolia's energy plant on North Quay Road, Rampion's offshore base on East Quay, and a port estate running from advanced manufacturing to boatbuilders. King & McGaw prints here, Surrey NanoSystems researches here, and most of those files exist once. The ferry goes south; the drive goes to the bench by post, exactly as a Brighton one does.

How Newhaven jobs run.

The port is French-ownedThe Department of Seine-Maritime owns the Port of Newhaven; Newhaven Port & Properties Limited is the statutory harbour authority that operates it.
Dieppe, under contractDFDS operates the Newhaven–Dieppe crossing under a contract awarded by SMPAT, the French authority that owns and subsidises the route. The terminal's booking and CCTV systems are ordinary computers.
Marine Workshops, and district recordsLewes District Council has run its offices from Marine Workshops here since 2023, and the Newhaven Enterprise Zone it leads covers eight sites designated in April 2017.
One rate, every quayFree diagnosis, then a written quote that does not move — £400 + VAT for a recorder, £300 + VAT for one disk. Return postage is included to any BN9 address.

An HP RAID 5 server that had two failed disks. The HP ProLiant server contained critical data for a factory; recovery was completed over a weekend so that we could reopen the factory on Monday morning. Great work from you guys.

Straight answers for Newhaven.

Do you cover the port estate too?

Yes, and every other BN9 address. Coverage is defined by the post rather than driving time: a unit on East Quay reaches us exactly as a house in the town centre does.

Can you read CCTV off a terminal recorder?

Usually. Post the recorder whole, or just its disk, and name the dates and cameras your insurer wants. Everything is read from an image; the original is not written to.

A drive has sat in an unheated unit all winter — does that matter?

Say so at booking, then change nothing else — no test power-ups, no warm cupboards, no rice. Condensation and corrosion are treatable on the bench, not at home.

What does posting from here actually cost?

One tracked label, one day in transit. Nothing is charged for the diagnosis, the written quote comes before the work and does not move, and the parcel home is paid for.

Newhaven to Guildford, tracked, and we start.

Power the device down, tell us what happened, and let the diagnosis be free before any decision has to be.
