Postal coverage · Storrington, RH20

Data recovery, Storrington. Half a parish inside a national park, and no station.

Storrington is a village within Horsham District and has its own parish council, the Storrington and Sullington Parish Council. On census day, 21 March 2021, there were 7,245 residents living in this parish. There are no major employers in Storrington, but it is supported by a variety of small-scale businesses including shops, a surgery, restaurants and pubs, visitor accommodation and the farming community located to the rear of the village, on the downs. A parcel sent from Storrington is diagnosed free on arrival and given a written quote, much like a package sent from Brighton.

How a Storrington case is handled.

Two planning authorities, one parishHalf of the total area of Storrington and Sullington Parish falls under the jurisdiction of the South Downs National Park Authority who are responsible for determining all matters related to planning. The remaining areas fall within the jurisdiction of Horsham District Council. At local level the responsibility rests with Storrington and Sullington Parish Council.
RH20, all of itThere are 399 postcodes used in this parish list, with 249 being active and all are RH20. As there is not a second district to check, nor a boundary argument to be made, there will be nothing else to consider.
No station; the post usually does the travellingPulborough Station and Amberley Station are the closest railway stations to Storrington and are located along the Arun Valley Line. The A283 road passes directly through Storrington, connecting Steyning to the east and Pulborough to the west. We do not have a counter in Storrington, so for a drive the honest answer is usually the post: obtain a quotation prior to posting, by phone or with the form, then send your drive by post, tracked and insured. Alternatively you can take your drive to our Guildford intake lab, where drives are accepted Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, without an appointment.
What it costs, and whenA memory card or stick starts at £250 + VAT, while working on multiple disks at once is priced from £500 + VAT. There is no charge to diagnose prior to either option. What you receive is a single written price quotation and it remains fixed. For most jobs you only pay if we successfully retrieve your data and, when a drive has to be opened, you will be required to make a deposit equal to half of the price quoted.

What Storrington wants to know.

Do you handle confidential client files from Storrington practices?

Yes, routinely. Any work carried out on a drive remains under a case reference (not your client name), and it is only read as far as is required to enable retrieval of your data. Once we have done that, a listing gets sent to you to check before paying us. Our privacy policy is presented in plain English (as opposed to legal jargon), so if you need to include it in your compliance folder, you will be able to.

How long does a Storrington case usually take?

First get a quote for your problem over the telephone, or use the form. Then send us your drive today and we will diagnose it the next working day. You'll receive the written figure soon after. Logic fault problems can often be resolved within a couple of working days of approval. Problems requiring mechanical repairs, or multiple drives, will take longer. We tell you when they will take longer, before the work starts.

The village has no station. Does that make posting awkward?

Not really. The A283 runs right through the village, and Pulborough and Amberley train stations are close by, but your hard disk does not need either of these stations. First obtain a quote using the telephone, or complete the form. Then it will generally be sent via a single tracked, insured postal package from anywhere with a Post Office counter, or you may bring your drive into our Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, where no prior appointment is needed. In both cases, we will pay for your return postage.

Our NAS has two disks in it. Do we send the whole box?

Only if the disks cannot be removed. If you can, each disk should be taken out and labelled with the bay number it was originally seated in. Otherwise, the entire NAS can be sent as it stands including the enclosure. Server units and RAID sets have their disks removed from the server/RAID system, and the disks are always sent on their own. Each disk has the bay number labelled on it (the bay number it occupied previously). Obtain a quote first for your problem over the telephone or using the form. If you're unsure whether your unit fits under "NAS", please call and provide details of what it looks like.
