Areas we cover · Reigate
Data recovery, Reigate. Where the borough's paperwork actually lives.
Reigate isn’t part of the Brighton Main Line; the link to Brighton is via Redhill (the next station), and Reigate's own services run into London Victoria. Both the platforms here provide access to the North Downs Line, travelling west through Dorking to Guildford (where our bench is). WTW's head office is located at Watson House on the London Road, and the borough council operates out of the town hall built in 1901 on Castlefield Road.

What Reigate sends us.
Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| An actuarial model that opens up to empty cells | Datasets of this magnitude don’t normally exist in duplicate | Get a quote first, then send us the disk, not the spreadsheet |
| A consultant’s laptop that fell off a desk | Having a laptop per fee earner means having a huge number of single copies | Do not run any repair tools |
| A planning archive volume which stopped listing files | Local government bodies keep records for decades, and decades can be very hard on storage platters | Image right now, while it reads |
| An external full of unrendered footage from an art school | Video and design files are generally very large, and when large storage drives fail they usually fail whole | Create an image first then sort it out later |
| A client document archive after a power cut in the office | One evening’s outage; one volume will not mount | Leave the power off & ring |
How a Reigate job runs.
Reigate asks, we answer plainly.
Do you handle confidential client data from Reigate practices?
Each day. Each job is assigned a case reference number. Your clients' names stay off it. We review only enough of what is contained within each item to complete the task requested. Thirty days from returning your recovered data, all temporary copies created while recovering your data will be deleted.
How quickly does a Reigate job come back?
First get a quote by telephone or via the quote request form, then post it today: it is examined at the bench the next day, with no charge for viewing, and you will receive a single written price quotation first. Filesystem problems are often cleared within a couple of days after you've approved the quote, but if the actual mechanism has failed, it takes longer, and we tell you about it from the start.
Will we get documentation our auditors accept?
Yes. Your quote is a fixed amount and is given in writing. Same thing with the VAT invoice. Also, prior to paying anything, you will be provided with a confirmed list of items recovered to compare with what you were expecting.
Is posting a drive with client data on it sensible?
Yes, tracked, insured and appropriately packaged, once you have a quote. Most practices in this area already work with us in this manner. If you prefer to deliver your media directly to us, Guildford is located on the same rail line west: drop it off at our Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (no appointment needed).

Reigate to the lab: a quote, one parcel, nothing else.
Switch off the unit, report the problem and allow us to diagnose it free of charge, before you have to make any decisions.
