Data recovery in Uckfield. Where the railway only goes one way.

The Uckfield line goes north to Hurst Green and stops there; there is no electric third rail, only diesel trains go north, and there has been no train going south since the Lewes branch was closed in 1969. Therefore, a failed disk from the Civic Centre, from Pureprint’s works at Bellbrook Park, or from one of the 145 units on the estate ends up on our bench as almost all things end up on this bench: by post. First get a quote via phone call or use the online form, then send it with insurance and tracking, or you can also hand-deliver your disk to our Guildford intake lab for analysis, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm (you do not need to make an appointment). A disk sent by post will be delivered on the same trackable delivery system used to bring us disks from the Brighton area; regardless of which method you choose, having your disk analysed is complimentary.

How an Uckfield job runs.

A case reference, not a nameClient work off a Bellbrook desk is only read as far as the recovery requires. The case reference number will replace the client name on the invoice. Copies that we make are destroyed thirty days after your files go back.
The Post Office counter usually does the restWe do not operate a shop or counter facility in Uckfield. To receive a quote first, contact us by telephone or complete the quote request form; then post your drive using a tracked delivery method, insured, or bring it to our Guildford intake lab. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. No prior appointment is needed. Please send an external drive whole in its enclosure, including its cable and power supply. For a NAS system please remove the hard disk(s) from the system and label each disk with its respective bay position. If the disks cannot be removed from the NAS system then this too may be sent whole. We require bare disks from servers or RAID sets. Each disk should be labelled with its bay position. Send the drive, not the machine.
The figure you get firstA free diagnostic will be completed. Then, one fixed written quote will be produced for the work. A standard single drive recovery costs £300 + VAT. The cost of recovering from a CCTV recorder is £400 + VAT. Cards and sticks start at £250 + VAT. For all other jobs involving more than one disk, prices start at £500 + VAT. Usually you will only pay us for our services when we have successfully recovered your data.
Where the parcel goesYou should get a quote before sending us your media; you can get a quote via telephone or using our quote form. Send your media addressed to Guildford Data Recovery, Building 2, Ground Floor, Guildford Business Park, Guildford GU2 8XH, tracked and insured by post, or drop it off yourself during our normal business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. No appointment is necessary. We answer the telephone at 01273 964902 in the same hours. Files recovered from your media will be returned on fresh media, and return postage will be included.

Uckfield questions, answered plainly.

Do you get much work off the Bellbrook estate?

Frequently. Wealden District Council identifies three estates within this area: Bellbrook, Ridgewood and Squires Farm at Easons Green. Inside a small unit, the typical layout includes one office machine, one accounts file and a network attached storage device (NAS) that no one monitors. Each job runs under a case reference.

How long does an Uckfield job usually take?

To obtain a quote first, call us or complete our online form. Once you have obtained a quote, send your drive to us today and it will reach the bench tomorrow. Inspecting your media incurs no cost, and before we perform any work we provide you with a single written quote based upon what was determined during inspection. Deleted files and damaged partitions are often done a day or two after approval. Opening up a drive's mechanism takes longer, and we tell you so.

Can you read prepress and large artwork volumes?

Yes, they arrive as regular disks. First get a quote via telephone or with our online form, then send in the disk drives instead of your computer and let us know which jobs you want to have done first so we can do them in that order.

What happens if the drive has to be opened?

At this point, we open it; we're asking for 50% upfront at that time because after that point all the parts are committed. So, whatever was quoted at the beginning, that will be the final cost.

Uckfield sends it; we take it from the parcel on.

Switch off the unit, report the problem and allow us to diagnose it free of charge, before you have to make any decisions.
