SW11, SW15, SW17 and SW18 · Battersea to Tooting

Data recovery, Wandsworth. A Balham home NAS, the only copy on it. Off at the wall before it tries to rebuild.

Wandsworth is the area where the residential case is the primary case, not the backup case. Balham, Earlsfield, Southfields, and Putney have many consultants, lawyers, and those working in finance and technology. They all commute. What they leave at their residence is a laptop, a NAS in the extra bedroom, and twenty years of pictures. The commercial exception works through the late night and early morning. There are approximately 57 acres of land occupied by New Covent Garden Market at Nine Elms. In this market there are around 200 businesses related to fruits, vegetables, and flowers. These vendors provide two fifths of the fresh fruits and vegetables consumed in London outside the home. This marketplace operates primarily during the midnight to mid-morning time frame. Thus, when stock and pricing systems, traceability records, grower schedules, and temperature logs stop operating at two on a Friday morning, it is a completely different kind of crisis compared to an office server failing at nine on a Tuesday. Surrounding this are Nine Elms and Battersea, with ten years of survey data and site plans. The US Embassy is located a few hundred metres away from Apple’s UK offices in the old power station. Both facilities reside within Wandsworth borough and not Lambeth borough. St George's Hospital in Tooting is a hyper-acute stroke centre with over 10,000 employees associated with the facility. Clapham Junction resides in Battersea, Wandsworth borough. Clapham is generally part of Lambeth borough. No collections occur in this area and there is no counter in Wandsworth nor anywhere in London.

Packing it and posting it: obtain a quotation first (by phone or using our quote form). Print the shipping form and place it inside the box with the drive. Send the parcel tracked and insured to our Guildford intake lab, where our engineers will process the media. We pay for the return postage. All the steps involved in packing it can be found on our guide to packing and posting.

Getting it from Wandsworth to the bench.

No collection, so post it or drop it off in GuildfordThere is no counter in Wandsworth or in London, and no driver comes out to an address. Obtain a quotation first (by phone or with the quote form), then send the parcel tracked and insured from any counter in SW11 or SW18, and it usually reaches an engineer the next working morning; or drop it off at our Guildford intake lab, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment necessary. Use a rigid box. Pad all sides until the unit does not change position when tilted. Include the printed shipping form inside the box prior to sealing the lid with tape.
Several disks? Ring us firstCall us (0203 0868633) before a server is opened or before a controller is allowed to begin rebuilding itself, and obtain a quotation first. Each disk must have its bay number marked on it as it leaves the chassis. The member that failed first should also be included in the package. The drives travel bare, by post or dropped off at our Guildford intake lab (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed). With a NAS, if possible remove the disks and label them the same way; otherwise the entire unit goes whole, still cased.
Send the disk, not the computerObtain a quotation first (by phone or with the quote form). Send the single disk instead of the original machine it came out of, or drop it off at our Guildford intake lab (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed). An external comes whole, enclosed in its own case, and includes its cable and power supply. Read-only imaging is done prior to attempting anything else, so the recovery will take place on a copy and your original will be returned in the condition it was in when it left you.
Prices, published not quotedPrices are published rather than held back: cards and USB sticks, £250 + VAT; an individual hard disk alone, £300 + VAT; a recorder's disk, £400 + VAT; multi-disk projects (an array, a NAS or a server) from £500 + VAT. The initial review is free of charge. On most jobs you only pay if we recover your data. A drive that requires opening requires half the payment up front; the rest require none.

What Wandsworth rings about.

Can client papers and matter files go in the post at all?

Yes. On the job sheet, instead of your name, your case number will be listed from beginning to completion. Nothing more is opened on the media than what is necessary to recover your data, and the remainder remains closed. Any working copies made here are erased thirty days from when your drive left our premises, and they do not go anywhere else in the meantime. All of these details are included in the company's Privacy Policy.

How long does a job from SW18 take?

Posted on a weekday, it is usually reviewed by an engineer by the next morning, followed shortly after by the written figure. If you accept that figure, most file system level recovery is complete within two working days. Mechanical work takes longer, as we need to obtain a donor unit first and then match it. You will know which of those two categories you fall into at the start, not part way through.

What paperwork comes back with it?

There is only one price quoted, set down once and not revised. Once what was recovered has been itemised, you are given a copy of the list for review and signature prior to payment, and a VAT invoice follows separately. If your drive has to be opened, half of the total amount due is required as payment first, which is clearly stated in your original quote.

Can a drive be handed over instead?

Only at the intake lab itself, which is in Guildford. Please contact us by phone or with the form to request a quote first, then simply drop off your equipment there during our business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed). There is no counter in Wandsworth or anywhere else in London. You will find the postal address for Guildford printed on the shipping form provided. For most people, sending the equipment via tracked, insured post is easier, as the package will be opened the working morning after arrival and inspected without charge to you. Postage back to you is also paid by us.

Post it from SW11 and read the figure before you commit.

Off at the wall and let it sit. Knowing what the machine was doing in those last few minutes before it stopped is the most useful thing you can hand over to us. The cost of a diagnostic is zero whatever it finds; one written figure will then arrive, and no chargeable work will begin until you agree with that figure.
