Lanarkshire’s county town keeps a lot of businesses running — and a lot of businesses’ data on drives that were due replacing two years ago. When one of them finally quits, Hamilton to Bath Street is a lunch-hour round trip.
The run is simple: M74 from junction 6, onto the M8, off at Charing Cross — twenty to twenty-five minutes on a normal day, with Tay House visible from the slip. Trains from Hamilton Central and Hamilton West go straight into Glasgow Central. Or skip the trip: a padded, insured parcel from Hamilton arrives next morning and goes into the same queue.
Hamilton sends us the full Lanarkshire mix — payroll servers from firms along the M74 corridor, college laptops, racecourse-day photographs on SD cards, and the household externals that hold everything unsorted since 2011. All of it gets the same order of operations: image first, then fix, always on the copy.
Whatever arrives, the terms don’t move with the postcode: a free diagnostic first, a fixed figure in writing before any work — £250 + VAT for cards and sticks, £300 + VAT for any single drive, from £500 + VAT for RAID, NAS and servers — and on most jobs, no recovery means no fee. Every job is handled in-house by our own engineers and your data never leaves the UK.
Call first — 0141 404 0294 — because with servers the ten minutes before anyone touches the disks matter most. We’ll tell you what to photograph, what to pull and what to leave alone, and whether the priority track fits. Then bring every member disk, in any order.
No distance anything — the bands are the bands: £250 + VAT for cards and sticks, £300 + VAT for any single drive, multi-disk systems quoted from £500 + VAT. The only Hamilton-specific cost is the fuel or the stamp, and the diagnostic is free either way.
Power it down, pad it well, and choose your route — the counter at Tay House, 300 Bath Street (Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm) or insured, tracked post from Hamilton. Either way it’s diagnosed free and quoted in writing before anything is decided.
