Recovery work · High Wycombe
Data recovery in High Wycombe. A river under the shops. A business on one disk.
High Wycombe is the largest town in Buckinghamshire, laid out along a chalk valley with the River Wye running in culverts somewhere beneath the shopping streets. Its working life is spread wide: Cressex and Knaves Beech, the university campus in the middle of town, the airfield out at Booker. Most of it still leans on one machine holding the accounts, and when that machine stops, an insured parcel puts it on the bench.

The faults Wycombe sends us.
None of these? Run the triage →| The symptom | Why it turns up here | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| A course project drive, days from hand-in | Animation and studio work lives on one external disk | Send it now, and name the deadline |
| The tower behind a Cressex trade counter | Orders, ledgers and a decade of email on one old machine | We recover, your IT rebuilds |
| A card that stopped at Adams Park | Cards give no warning, and the frames exist nowhere else | Stop shooting on it; post it as it is |
| A drive out of an unheated storeroom | Cold boards gather condensation all winter | Cleaned under controlled conditions, not at home |
| A sole trader's laptop dead at quarter end | At that size there is no second machine to fall back on | Give us the date and the queue follows |

The questions Wycombe callers ask.
Do you cover Hazlemere, Downley and Flackwell Heath?
All of them, and the villages between. Every case travels by tracked post, so an HP13 address is no further from the bench than an SL6 one, and weekday parcels normally land the next morning.
Can coursework and studio project files be saved?
Frequently, yes. Studio work arrives on external disks, scratch drives and photo libraries, and those fail like any other storage. Write down the folders that genuinely matter and the deadline you are working to; that list is what gets checked first.
The drive has sat in a cold, damp storeroom. Does that matter?
Worth mentioning when you book. Corrosion from condensation is treatable on the bench, but the household remedies all make it worse: no repeated power-ups, no airing cupboard, no rice. An untouched drive does better.
Does working out of Maidenhead slow a Wycombe job?
Not by anything you would notice. A courier label and one night in transit is the whole of it: the first look is free, the written price holds, and the return leg to Wycombe is ours.
