Data recovery, Peacehaven. One road in, one parcel out.

The town of Peacehaven has no railway station. Its main road is the A259 South Coast Road, which continues west towards Telscombe Cliffs and Saltdean, or east to the Ouse crossing at Newhaven, where the swing bridge means you'll experience traffic congestion each day. The town itself, 15,707 people at the 2021 census, sits in Lewes District. Most of the residents work out of their spare bedrooms or small unit spaces, on single drives. If you want to go to Brighton, the A259 takes you there; however, a drive gets there faster via tracked post than via traffic.

How a Peacehaven job runs.

No station, one roadThe railway station is located at Newhaven which is on the Seaford branch of the line. Everything else moves via the A259. Neither of these is problematic for the post.
A works with a green roofSouthern Water's wastewater treatment plant is located on a site of over 36 hectares. According to the company it is situated under one of the largest "green roofs" in Europe. What we see is not done directly by Southern Water, but rather by its contractors.
Micro firms, single copiesIn 2023 East Sussex had approximately 23,000 enterprises, with ninety per cent of those having nine employees or fewer. This represents the typical business model for this location: one PC, one external disk drive, no server room.
Terms, printed plainlyWe provide free diagnosis when it arrives, and a written quote fixed prior to commencing recovery. In most cases, you will only pay if we successfully recover your data. Costs for cards & sticks start from £250 + VAT. The cost of returning your parcel home will also be covered.

Peacehaven questions, plain answers.

Do you cover Telscombe Cliffs as well as Peacehaven?

Yes. BN10 is just one post town covering both locations, and our coverage is a postal question rather than a driving one, so all of these addresses reach the bench in the same manner: once you have a quote, usually as a single tracked parcel, or by dropping off at our Guildford intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (no appointment necessary).

Can you get photographs off a corrupt card?

Usually. Formatting will clear the indexes much more frequently than clearing the images, and if a card was writing and stopped mid-write, it should usually still be readable. Eject the card, remove it from your computer and place nothing new onto it.

Our shop PC won't start and the accounts are on it — what now?

You must get a quotation first, either via telephone or with our quotation form. Then send us the drive, not the computer. Let us know what the hard drive was used for while running and how long ago it last worked. You are required to pay half of the fee up front if the hard drive has to be opened.

Is there anyone local we can hand it to?

No. We have no offices in this town and we do not have anyone visit you. Obtain a quotation first, either over the phone or using our quotation form. The parcel will then be sent to us as a tracked and insured parcel or you may personally take the drive into the Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (appointment not necessary).

Peacehaven work starts when the parcel arrives.

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