Coverage · Greater Manchester & beyond

Where we cover, and how to reach us.

Coverage starts with Manchester & its surrounding areas, then runs out through Cheshire & other areas. Each town will have two options; either deliver to Peter House, Oxford Street, or send via insured postage. Both delivery methods include a free 48-hour diagnostic service, with free return shipping whichever method you prefer.

// in & around manchester

Manchester and the towns a short drive out.

All are accessible within a short car journey from the city centre. They are also located within the ring of villages which feed into Manchester.

// north greater manchester

Bolton and the north of the county.

Go up the M61, M66 and M62 to the Pennine edge — roughly 8–17 miles out, and all in Greater Manchester.

// cheshire & the south

Out through Cheshire.

Warrington is less than 20 miles by car via the M62 and Macclesfield, on the edge of the Peak District, is also less than 20 miles.

// county pages

Whole-county coverage.

If you cannot find your specific area of interest within one of these subsections then please browse wider pages that cover all of the areas mentioned here. You can use them if you need information about somewhere we have not listed.

// further afield

Lancashire, Merseyside and beyond.

Further away, where posting a drive will be easier than driving it — with free delivery on return whichever way you choose.

// getting it to us

Two ways to start.

Send the device in with an initial report of what has occurred to it. The diagnosis is at no charge and commits you to nothing, and the subsequent fee is written as a firm price prior to opening anything.

Post it, or drop it in

This is the only step that requires input from you and nothing else can happen until the device is on our bench. Package your item properly and include all the information we require about you and your item(s), then ship them to us. Then comes a no-cost diagnostic, followed by a written quote.

Packing it properly
  • Send it to us in either a small rigid box or a padded envelope. If you have an antistatic bag available use it, otherwise wrap it up in a food bag.
  • Don't send the caddy, cables or power supply. None of it is required to read the drive. And it's just extra weight.
  • Write down your name, address, phone number and e-mail on a piece of paper, or fill in the shipping form below. Put that in the package.

Posting it? Use a tracked and insured service. The value of what is on the drive far exceeds the cost of postage. Bringing it in? Weekdays from 9am to 5:30pm, and it still needs packing as described above for the journey.

Not ready to send it?

Tell us about the item in question, tell us how it has been behaving lately, and let us know if there is anything you have done as far as troubleshooting goes so that our engineers may provide a realistic estimate of success and a probable cost range prior to sending your items off.

Every enquiry is read by an engineer rather than a form-handler, and most get an answer inside the hour on a working day. Would rather speak to someone? 0161 871 0788.
