Jobs from · Beverley
Data recovery in Beverley. Completion is Friday; the drive stopped on Tuesday.
Beverley is the county town of the East Riding, around 30,900 people in the built-up area, and County Hall on Cross Street is why so much of the work here is paperwork: planning files, land charges, highways and social care records, and the solicitors, surveyors, land agents and planning consultants who work to them. Add the farms out towards the Wolds, the colleges at Bishop Burton and Flemingate, the market squares and the racecourse on the Westwood, and nearly all of it now sits on a disk somewhere. Post it insured. Looking at it costs nothing.
An engineer will take the details

What comes in from Beverley.
Nothing similar? Go to the triage →| What you see | Why it comes to us | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| A conveyancer's desktop, dead on completion day | The file, the deeds and the title plans are all on that one machine | Leave it switched off and tell us the completion date |
| A practice server dead after a power cut | Year-end ledgers, client files and twenty years of letters on one box | We do the data, your IT the hardware |
| A yard camera recorder that has stopped writing | The same disk is written over week after week until it gives up | Get the disk out of the recorder and stop there |
| A farm office PC in a converted outbuilding | Herd records, BPS claims and soil data, and damp in the walls | Corrosion comes off on the bench, not at the sink |
| A one-man business, and the laptop dies at VAT time | No spare machine, and no one to pass the work to | Log the job and tell us the deadline |
Four things worth knowing here.
What Beverley asks us.
Do you cover Molescroft and Woodmansey too?
Yes, and Bishop Burton with them. The parcel travels rather than you, so an address off the Westwood is no further from the bench than one behind Saturday Market, and something posted on a weekday usually lands the next morning.
Can you get case files and title plans back?
Usually, yes. Scanned deeds, title plans, survey point clouds and years of client correspondence sit on ordinary disks and fail in ordinary ways — heat, hours, a board that gives up. Tell us which files the completion depends on and those come off the image first.
It has sat in an unheated outbuilding all winter. Does that matter?
Say so when you book it in. Damp and condensation get at a board long before anything looks wrong, and the home fixes make it worse: powering it up over and over, a hairdryer, rice, the airing cupboard. A drive nobody has tried to dry out does better.
Where does a Beverley drive actually end up?
At the intake lab in Leeds — A1079 or A164 down to the A63, then west on the M62. No bridge and no toll from this side. Post it insured, or bring it to the lab on a weekday. The first look is free and the postage back is ours.
What people read after this.
Beverley: post it in, and it is looked at the day it lands.
Leave it switched off. Tell us what happened. Nothing gets agreed before the free diagnosis has said what it is.
