NG18 and NG19 · Mansfield
Mansfield data recovery. Plan scans and borehole logs on a stopped disk; each restart costs readable sectors.
There is a national archive in this town whose whole purpose is that records do not go missing. The Mining Remediation Authority (the Coal Authority until it was renamed in November 2024) works from 200 Lichfield Lane, and its heritage centre holds roughly 120,000 abandonment plans dating back to the seventeenth century, along with more than 47,000 British Coal photographs, all of them digitally scanned and available to anyone who needs them. Every conveyancing solicitor and every homebuyer in this part of the country relies on that scanning having been done properly. Work coming in from NG18 and NG19 follows the same pattern on a smaller scale: ground-stability and subsidence consultants with borehole logs and plan extracts on one workstation; search agents whose entire product is a mining search; the Mansfield Connect supply chain, with its surveys and phased site photography of a converted department store; distribution and manufacturing SMEs on Oakham Business Park and around the Lindhurst development at Berry Hill; and a town of 97,831 at the 2021 census, where the phone is the only camera most households have ever owned. One postal trap while you are here: the Mansfield post town runs out to NG20, which includes Shirebrook, a Derbyshire address, not a Nottinghamshire one. We do not have a counter in Mansfield. Get a quote, then send your drive by tracked post to the intake lab in Manchester; there is no charge for the examination, and the figure is put in writing first: one hard disk £300 + VAT, a card or a stick £250 + VAT, several disks in one job from £500 + VAT.

Five jobs this part of the county sends us.
Not yours? Open the fault finder →| What is happening | What brings it in | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| A camera card that mounts with nothing on it | It came out of the camera mid-write | Nothing more written to it; get a quote and send it exactly as it is |
| An edit suite whose scratch array has stopped | Striping leaves no second copy anywhere, and the report is due this week | Stop the array, number each disk by its bay, get a quote and post them bare |
| A surveyor's disk that travels out to site and home again | Going in and out of a kit bag daily for weeks | The moment it clicks, stop using it |
| The drawing-office scanning PC no longer sees its disk | Plan sheets scanned all day, with an index built over them | No more power to it; the drive travels alone |
| An office NAS that will no longer mount | Years' worth of borehole logs and scanned extracts, on a box nobody else copies | Switch it off; get a quote, then post the disks labelled by bay, or the whole unit if they will not come out |
Four things production and lab work run into.
What Mansfield rings about.
The disk with the plan scans on it has stopped and the search is due. Can it go first?
Choose urgent right at the time of booking and the job is marked that way from the start. Once the parcel arrives it is imaged that day, before the rest of that morning's intake, and as soon as we have enough of a diagnosis to commit to, you get a completion date rather than an estimate. Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, someone always answers the phone.
There is no second copy of this. How is it handled?
We never write to your original media. We create a read-only image first, and all the work after that happens on the copy, so the media you post comes back in the same condition it left in. Recovered files are sent on new media with a file-by-file list of what was readable and what was not, and you review that list before any money changes hands.
What documentation is issued? Purchasing will ask for it.
Everything, at no extra cost. The figure in writing reaches you before the first chargeable step, the itemised list of recovered files comes at the end for your approval, and the VAT invoice arrives after that. If a disk has to be opened, fifty per cent is payable before that work starts, and every quote states this clearly.
We are out at Forest Town, not Mansfield. Does that count?
Yes: NG18 and NG19, Mansfield Woodhouse and Forest Town, plus the NG20 and NG21 addresses that carry a Mansfield post town. Because nothing is collected, your address affects neither the price nor how quickly you are seen. Get a quote by ringing 0115 8220606 or using our form, then send the media tracked and insured. There is no fee for examining it, and the journey back is on us.

One written price comes after it, and you agree to it before anything chargeable.
