Berkshire, TW19 · Wraysbury

Wraysbury data recovery. The National Trust's oldest tree stands at Ankerwycke.

Wraysbury is a long, narrow village located in Berkshire, directly across the River Thames from Runnymede. There are three spurs leading down to the river from the central green in the village. In terms of geography, while the majority of Wraysbury parish falls outside of the M25, a small corner of it is within the motorway ring at Junction 13. Surrounding Wraysbury is Thames Water's Wraysbury Reservoir. Additionally, Wraysbury has a chain of worked-out gravel pits, several of which have been designated SSSIs. Many of these old gravel pits have been converted into recreational uses such as fishing, sailing and diving. The parish council describes its residents as primarily commuter workers to Heathrow, Windsor, Slough and Staines. A significant amount of economic activity is run out of spare rooms; for example, a training provider may operate from a resident's spare room. Other examples include ground-handling and driver agencies operating from home offices. Also present are catering and cleaning businesses, as well as plant-hire and groundworks yards on the motorway fringe. Likewise, the ecologists and fisheries consultants who survey the lakes can also be found working from their homes in this parish. They all use a single computer to maintain payroll, booking systems, qualification records and dated photographs taken during surveys. When this single computer stops, get a quote first, either by telephone or through the form provided, then post its hard drive, tracked and insured, to the Guildford intake lab, as most people do, or drop it off there (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed); nothing is charged to examine it.

The symptomWhy it turns up hereStart here
Membership database and booking diary both stored on a clubhouse PCThe lakes are all run using one portacabin computer, and there is no other copy stored anywhereSwitch off before anyone uses a repair tool on it
Home office laptop that has payroll and compliance folderMany village suppliers serve the airport from one spare room machineLeave it switched off. Tell us what it was doing when last powered on.
Yard desktop with job files and plant maintenance recordsTachograph downloads for haulage and groundworks companies working near the motorway, stored on this machineGet a quote first, take out the disk only; that is all that needs moving
Single winter survey card of bird countsThe reservoir and the pits have SSSI and SPA status, and a season cannot be repeatedRemove the card now; obtain a quote beforehand, then send it untouched
A disk from a structure which was in contact with waterMoisture readings, floor levels and dated photographic images are all necessary for a claimDo not dry or power it; bag it wet; get a quote first, then post it today
If you want to post it in: obtain a quote first via either phone or the online form. Then post the drive to our intake lab in Guildford, using a tracking service, and insure the drive against loss/damage. Alternatively, you may drop the drive off at our intake lab in Guildford, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed. If posting the drive, please include the shipping form in the same box as the drive. We will cover the cost of sending the drive back to you. How to pack it is covered in detail on the postage page.

What happens after you post from TW19.

Junction 13 is the only corner insideThe parish lies outside the M25 except for a very small portion at Junction 13. From there the road continues southward around to the A3, and into Guildford. Obtain a quote first, either via telephone or using the form. After obtaining a quote, the majority of people will send their item by tracked and insured post. When posting your item, hand it over prior to the last collection of the day and it is generally on the bench at opening. Should you wish to travel to the Guildford location to deliver your item personally, please note that the Guildford intake laboratory accepts drop-offs Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, with no appointment needed.
Wet media, handled wetThe Royal Borough's flood report of February 2014 states that a total of seventy-three (73) properties were affected by flooding at Wraysbury, most seriously on Hythe End Road, Ouseley Road, Wharf Road, and The Island. Flooding also occurred in west Wraysbury during January 2003. We continue to receive drives and camera cards damaged in these floods, as well as the moisture measurements and floor level surveys used to support an insurance claim. Do not ever attempt to dry out your flooded drive or power up your wet drive. Put the drive into a plastic bag and obtain a quote before posting it the same day.
The spare-room NASPlenty of homes and smaller businesses here use a single NAS for all their storage and they use the entire array as a single backup device, which it is not. If the system shows signs of failure (and it will fail together as an array), turn it off immediately so that it doesn't attempt to rebuild. Obtain a quote prior to posting. With a NAS unit, remove the disks from the enclosure, labelling them according to the order of bays, unless you are unable to do this, in which case post the unit intact. A server, or RAID, however, cannot be posted intact: it is disassembled, and the disks are removed and labelled according to bay order.
Berkshire terms, one priceThe initial diagnostic service provided is always complimentary; the subsequent written quotation that follows the diagnostic service does not change after you receive the quotation; and the postage back to you is also provided at our expense. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data. There are three types of jobs that require a 50% deposit up front (forensic instructions, embedded recorder work, repair jobs requiring donor parts within the drive): the balance due will be charged only if we successfully recover your data.

What Wraysbury asks first.

Wraysbury posts as Staines. Is the village actually in Surrey?

It is not. Wraysbury is located in Berkshire and is part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead; Staines-upon-Thames is only used as the post town and TW is only used as a postcode area. This does not affect where the media is analysed. Each drive is sent to our intake laboratory at Guildford Business Park, GU2 8XG, and each drive's label must read Guildford Data Recovery.

Is there anywhere in the village to drop a drive off?

Not here, and not in Maidenhead. We do not have a physical storefront here (no counter); no van for pickups; and no collection rounds of any sort. First obtain a quote by telephone or via our online quotation request form; if you prefer to deliver the drive personally, it may be dropped off at our Guildford laboratory Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. No appointment is necessary. Most clients elect to send their drives by post instead, tracked and insured, and we cover the cost of return postage.

A drive came out of a room that had taken water. What now?

Leave it off. Don't heat it, don't dry it out, and don't connect it: corrosion happens quickest when your platter is damp and has been spun or warmed up. Bag it straight away (write down what it sat in and for how long), get a quote first, and send it by post the same day. Your drive will be received still wet, but there's no cost involved for the diagnosis either way.

The business runs from the house and it has stopped. Can it be moved up?

Yes. Let us know over the phone and we will mark your job as priority: it will be first in the imaging queue, and worked continuously rather than in between other jobs; and we'll give you an honest time frame for completing work, as soon as you have received the free diagnostic report. Nothing at all is charged before the written quote is in front of you.

Get a quote, and one tracked box is all Wraysbury has to send.

Nothing will be decided until your free assessment is in: leave the device off, and tell us about the issue you are experiencing.
