Areas we cover · Seaford, BN25
Data recovery in Seaford. Where the work machine lives and the employer doesn't.
Although Seaford is located at the terminus of its railway branch line it still has regular services through Lewes to Brighton which are approximately two per hour. The A259 road runs west from Seaford through Newhaven and Peacehaven. Wave Active Limited has its headquarters on Sutton Road and Seaford Head School educates 1,461 students; apart from these there is no commercial IT use as this area is largely made up of domestic users (home workers/sole traders/households using one external drive to store photos taken over decades).

| Photos taken over many years have been scanned and stored on a single external hard disk | These images were scanned once and since then they have never had another copy made. It was several years ago that they last used a scanner | Obtain a quotation before sending the drive, not the computer |

How a Seaford case runs.
Seaford questions, answered plainly.
Which parts of BN25 do you cover?
It covers all areas, including the town itself, Bishopstone, Norton, Exceat and Westdean. As cover refers to the tracked post system and not a driving radius, a parcel sent from Church Street will start its diagnostic process on the same morning as a parcel sent from Lewes.
The laptop belongs to an employer somewhere else. Does that complicate it?
Not the technical aspect. Seaford works as a dormitory town, so a large proportion of failed drives from Seaford are company property which has been left in a spare bedroom. At an early stage we enquire who owns the data, who is to sign off on the quote and to whom the files should be returned.
A drive from a damp flat has stopped. Does that change anything?
Report this condition when you call us. Then leave the hardware in the same state that it was in when you called: do not power anything up to test it, and no use of a warm location (cupboard) or desiccants (rice). Corrosion can be treated on the workbench; once dried at home it becomes much harder to treat.
Is there anywhere in Seaford to hand a drive in?
Seaford has neither a counter nor an engineer to visit your premises. Drives from Seaford are worked on at the Guildford intake laboratory: first of all obtain a quote by telephone or using the form provided and then post the unit to us tracked and insured (or deliver it personally there, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm). No appointment is needed. There is no charge for diagnosing what needs to be done. We also pay for the return postage.
