The lab · our region
Berkshire is home. The post does the rest.
Nearly every device we work on arrives as a parcel. They travel to the secure intake lab in Guildford tracked and insured, so the practical boundary is the courier network rather than a county line. Berkshire is where we are, not where we stop.

The postmarks we see most.
A town missing from the list changes nothing. Every postcode follows the same order: a call or the form, then an insured parcel with a tracking number, and the bench picks it up when it lands. The reviews here run from Windsor and Bracknell out to Marlow and Henley.
Choose your town.
Each sets out the hardware that corner of the area tends to send in, how a case runs, and the questions people there actually ask. The same bench is behind every one, and the diagnosis costs nothing wherever the parcel started.
What that looks like in practice.
The things people most want to know, answered.
Is my postcode covered?
If a tracked courier will deliver to you, then yes. Most work comes from Maidenhead, Windsor and the rest of east Berkshire, though boxes reach the lab from every part of the country, and we pay the return carriage.
Will the journey make things worse?
Not if it is packed properly. An external keeps its own case, a disk taken out of a machine travels bare, and either way it wants padding all round and a tracked, insured service. The shipping form sets out each step; most work arrives that way.
Do you offer collection?
No, there is no collection service. Tracked post is quicker than a van and leaves less to go wrong, and you are welcome to drop the device at the Guildford intake lab on a weekday. Servers, larger NAS units and sensitive evidence are worth a call first, so we can agree the route.
I am outside Berkshire; should I use a closer lab?
Distance decides very little. What matters is who does the work and whether they are straight with you; your parcel is opened and diagnosed the morning it arrives.
The opening move is always the same.
Ring the lab or send the form. From then on it is the parcel that travels, not you.
