If a drive fails in Fleet, you do not need to post it off to London or pass it to an impersonal national firm. Guildford Data Recovery is just 12 miles up the A323, and since 2002 we have had our very own laboratory where we recover lost data from servers, NAS boxes, camera cards, SSDs and hard drives. Just pop in when passing, or simply post it: the initial diagnostic is free, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
From Fleet it’s approximately 25 minutes and 12 miles to our workshop, so drop it off personally, or post it.
Fleet is a prosperous commuter town in Hampshire with roughly 38,000 inhabitants, just over the Surrey border, with a fast rail link to Waterloo, modern business parks and many residents who work at home or in offices. These people create an abundance of data that could cause significant problems if lost: accounts, client files, photographs and years of work.
A failed drive usually still holds all of its data. The problem is almost always the heads, the board or the file system rather than the data itself, which can still be retrieved by people who do this every day. Our unit at Guildford Business Park is only 12 miles away, so calling in is easy, though posting it to us works just as well, and we pay for the return postage.
Recovering data since 2002, with a free written diagnostic, a fixed price agreed before we start, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
Usually not. A drive that looks “dead” typically still holds all of its data; the failure is in the heads, the board or the file system, and the data simply needs to be read off cleanly, first time, by people who handle drives like yours every day.
Our Guildford laboratory is located approximately 12 miles from Fleet, and since 2002 we have recovered lost data for individuals and businesses in the Fleet area. Being so near gives you a choice: visit the Guildford unit when it fits into your itinerary, or send it fully insured through the post. Each job begins with a free diagnostic assessment and an exact price quoted before the recovery process starts, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
The postcodes we hear from most often, along with all the nearby villages and estates we cover in just the same way.
In addition to Fleet itself (GU51–GU52), drives arrive at our Guildford unit from all the areas around it, including Church Crookham, Crookham Village, Elvetham Heath, Ancells Farm and Hartley Wintney. Living in central Fleet or in one of the surrounding villages makes no difference, as the drive can still be brought to our Guildford unit or sent by tracked delivery. The free diagnostic and our pay terms apply equally to either option: in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
A commuter town in Hart: the home office, the family machine and small businesses.
Fleet (GU51 and GU52) is commuter-belt Hampshire, often cited as being amongst the best areas in which to live in the UK, and it is professional and family orientated. This can be seen in what fails: home-office SSDs and laptops failing with work on them, external backups no longer able to mount, and family photos and videos stored on a hard drive or card that are no longer readable. Local businesses around Church Crookham and Elvetham Heath will also bring in the occasional NAS that has dropped a disk.
Fleet is a little further away, approximately thirteen miles using the A323 and then the M3, so although some clients still visit us in person, tracked post is the easy option and makes no difference to our service. The diagnostic is free and usually completed within 48 hours, we will provide a fixed price quotation before any work starts, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data. If a hard drive is clicking or unable to turn on, please do not keep trying to run it: switch it off and get it to us.
Fleet is close enough that many clients simply bring their hard drives to us personally, but if this is not possible, posting the item to us is an equally simple process.
Call or message us about the device and the fault, and we will give you a likely price straight away.
Bring the device (or, for laptops, NAS units and servers, just the drive) to our Guildford unit, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, or send it to us fully insured.
We inspect it, generally within 48 hours, and send you a fixed quote in writing before anything is done.
We carry out the recovery and check it against a file listing, and then you can either collect your data from us or receive it by post on new media.
Drop it off and you skip the postal leg altogether. Urgent jobs can usually be moved up the queue, so just let us know when you call.

Anything that stores data is worth a free look, including databases and servers, NAS units and RAID arrays, external drives, laptops and Macs, camera cards and USB sticks, and SSDs and hard drives.
