Postal coverage · Shoreham-by-Sea

Data recovery, Shoreham-by-Sea. BN43, and a post town of its own.

In the 2021 Census, there were 23,676 people living in Shoreham-by-Sea, and the BN43 postcode district uses the name "Shoreham-by-Sea" as its post town, unlike BN41 and BN42 next door. Adur District Council operates from the Shoreham Centre located at Pond Road, while Southlands Hospital is part of University Hospitals Sussex; also, Shoreham Port runs its estate to the east of this location. Spare storage is not what fails in this town; working storage is.

How a Shoreham-by-Sea job runs.

BN43 keeps its own nameThe BN43 postcode district is entirely within Adur and is also the only postcode district along the south coast with its post town being named Shoreham-by-Sea. Both postcode districts of BN41 and BN42 use Brighton as their post towns. Therefore, two adjacent streets may look completely different when written on an envelope.
A trust port with a long ledgerShoreham Port referred to 2025 as being their 265th year. The estate of the port extends east to Southwick and then to Portslade. They provide commercial premises for more than 150 businesses. There are two locks operated on a canal system by Shoreham Port (Prince Philip Lock and Prince George Lock), which they maintain themselves.
Engineering files are large and awkwardThe registered office of Ricardo Limited is located at Shoreham Technical Centre, BN43 5FG. Work of this kind fills workstation arrays, and we image each disk individually using Atola or PC-3000 equipment prior to an attempt to rebuild.
The road out, and the termsFrom here, the A27 heads east towards the A23 at Mill Road in Brighton, and the A23 connects to the M23. Generally the drive will be posted, tracked and insured, after you receive a price quote over the phone or by using a quote form. If you prefer, you may also deliver your item for diagnosis to our Guildford intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (no appointment needed). We provide complimentary diagnostics, the written price quote is fixed, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

You are a life saver — my business was on the Dell PC and I was hijacked by a ransomware virus. Thanks for keeping me calm, assuring me you could recover the data, and advising me not to try ransomware removal myself. I am so glad I trusted you: I got all my data back and a completely clean PC again. A speedy service, 5 stars!

Shoreham-by-Sea questions, answered plainly.

Is BN43 really its own post town?

Yes, it is, and it posts under the town's own name, unlike its eastern neighbours: BN41 and BN42 next door both use "Brighton". This makes many addresses within the area appear quite confusing when completed on forms.

Our test data sits on a workstation array. Can you take that?

Yes, however please ensure that the hard drives arrive bare, and clearly labelled with each individual bay number. Please also obtain a quotation prior to sending the hard drives, either over the telephone or by completing a quotation form. We require details of the controller type(s) used and how the disks were ordered. Larger sets are imaged disk by disk before being rebuilt.

Is there somewhere in town I can bring it instead?

No. We have neither an office nor a reception desk here. Obtain a price quotation prior to sending your device. Once obtained, the device can be sent via tracked and insured postal service or dropped off at our intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. There is no need for an appointment. The address for Guildford Data Recovery is Building 2, Ground Floor, Guildford Business Park, Guildford, GU2 8XH.

What does it cost, and how is it settled?

The cost of a diagnostic test is zero. The price thereafter is fixed and written. A card or a stick can start from as little as £250, one drive will be £300, a recorder will be £400, and for multi-disk work you need to pay a minimum of £500. All prices are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT).
