A market town with an industrial edge, sitting between Leeds, York and the Humber — Selby’s businesses and households keep their records, accounts and photographs on hardware that offers little warning before it fails.
Insured post from anywhere in Yorkshire, or bring it to our Leeds drop-off at The Pinnacle on Albion Street — the diagnostic costs nothing either way.
Selby to Leeds is around twenty minutes by rail and an easy run by road, so most people simply bring the drive in. Insured post works just as well. The caseload covers the full range: small-business NAS boxes and servers, hard drives that have started clicking, SSDs gone missing from the BIOS, failed laptops and the memory cards and photographs that no one had copied anywhere else.
The postcode makes no difference to the price or the process. Free diagnostic, fixed written quote, recovery in-house by our own engineers under a secure chain of custody, and on most jobs no fee at all unless your data comes back.
Almost never at that stage. A crashed volume usually means the file system or array metadata is damaged, not the data itself. Power it down, resist the “repair” button, and send every disk — we image them individually and rebuild the volume off the box.
Yes, and most people from Selby do — it is about twenty minutes on the train and we are a short walk from the station. Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm.
A hard drive is £300 + VAT for standard recovery, cards and USB sticks £250 + VAT, and arrays are quoted after the free diagnostic. You always get a fixed figure in writing before any chargeable work begins.
