Areas we cover · Seaford, BN25
Data recovery in Seaford. Where the work machine lives and the employer doesn't.
Seaford sits at the end of its own branch line, typically two trains an hour through Lewes to Brighton, with the A259 running west through Newhaven and Peacehaven. Wave Active Limited keeps its head office on Sutton Road and Seaford Head School teaches 1,461 pupils, but beyond those the computing here is domestic: home workers, sole traders, and households holding decades of photographs on one external drive.

Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| A work laptop with an employer elsewhere | The commuter's machine is in Seaford; the IT department is not | Tell us who signs off the quote |
| A leisure operator's bookings and membership records | A Sutton Road head office administering fifteen sites across two council areas | We read it; your IT rebuilds |
| Years of prints, scanned onto a single external | Scanned once, never copied, and the scanner went years ago | Send the drive, not the PC |
| A damp-flat drive after a coastal winter | Condensation and salt work slowly on a circuit board | No radiator, no rice, no test power-up |
| A school's shared drive in exam season | Seaford Head School alone teaches 1,461 pupils from 11 to 18 | Name the priority folders |
How a Seaford case runs.
Seaford questions, answered plainly.
Which parts of BN25 do you cover?
All of it — the town itself, Bishopstone, Norton, Westdean and Exceat. Cover means the tracked-post network rather than a driving radius, so a parcel handed in at Church Street starts its diagnosis on the same morning as one posted from Lewes.
The laptop belongs to an employer somewhere else. Does that complicate it?
Not the technical side. Seaford works as a dormitory town, so a good share of its failed drives are company property sitting in a spare room. We ask early who owns the data, who signs off the quote and where the files go back to.
A drive from a damp flat has stopped. Does that change anything?
Say so when you call, and then leave it exactly as it is: no powering up to check, no warm cupboard, no rice. Corrosion is treatable on the bench and considerably harder to treat after a drying attempt at home.
Is there anywhere in Seaford to hand a drive in?
There is no counter in Seaford and no engineer who comes to you. Seaford drives are worked on at the Guildford intake laboratory, reached either by tracked post or by hand. The diagnosis is free and the return postage is paid.
