Postal coverage · Southwick
Data recovery for Southwick. A Brighton address in West Sussex.
Southwick had 12,236 residents at the 2021 census, sits in Adur and in West Sussex, and posts under a Brighton address. Along its southern side runs the Southwick basin of Shoreham Port; to the north the A27 goes round through Southwick Hill Tunnel, bored rather than cut so the hill was left whole. What reaches us from here is mostly commercial.

What the Southwick estates send us.
Something else? Run the triage →| The problem as described | Why it's a local regular | First thing we do |
|---|---|---|
| A freight forwarder's customs records | Manifests and clearances that have to be produced years afterwards | Imaged first, read second |
| One NAS in one unit, no second copy | The standard shape of a small tenant on the port estate | Every disk, labelled by bay |
| A condition-monitoring PC from the power station | Plant data that only means anything as a long run | Post the disk, not the cabinet |
| A marine surveyor's laptop and its photographs | Survey notes from the basin and the Southwick Reef work | Tell us which folder matters |
| A weighbridge or haulage office drive | Tonnage, tickets and timings, written down nowhere else | Leave it switched off until it ships |
How a Southwick job runs.
Southwick questions, answered plainly.
Why does my Southwick address say Brighton?
Because BN42 takes Brighton as its post town while sitting wholly inside Adur, in West Sussex. It confuses couriers more than it confuses us. Write the postcode clearly and the parcel behaves itself.
We are a tenant on the port estate with one NAS. What do we send?
All of the disks, marked with the bay numbers they came from, or the whole unit, because a NAS may be posted complete. A server or a RAID set goes as bare disks only. No phones and no tablets.
The weighbridge PC will not start. Is that recoverable?
Normally yes, provided nobody has tried to repair the file system first. Leave it switched off, and post the drive rather than the machine it sits in. It is imaged on DeepSpar hardware before anything is read.
How soon do we know where we stand?
Diagnosis is free and we tell you either way. One fixed written quote follows. Memory cards and sticks begin at £250; one drive is £300; a recorder is £400; a multi-disk job begins at £500. Add VAT to each.
