We're based just over the Welsh border in Oswestry, so Chester is well within our home patch. If you've got old laptops, desktops, servers or phones cluttering a stockroom, we'll come to you, wipe the drives properly, and pay you for what's worth something.
Chester Business Park is the unusual one. Financial services density that's rare outside London or Edinburgh — Bank of America, professional services, fund management, the firms that orbit them. A lot of regulated work, which means the wipe certificate end of the conversation matters more than the price.
We collect across the city and surrounds. Most of the work happens at:
Inside the ring road, off the A55, anywhere along the A483 corridor — we'll be there. Outside that, just say where, we'll work it out.
The Business Park is dense with banking, insurance, fund management and the firms that serve them. The Rows and Watergate are full of solicitors, accountants and consultancies. Boughton Heath and the surrounds are SME offices, design studios, recruitment, marketing.
They all cycle through hardware on a 3 to 4 year refresh and the old kit ends up in a stockroom because nobody wants to be the one who throws drives in a skip. That's the work we do. Most Chester jobs are batches of 5 to 30 devices: a few laptop generations, some desktops, the occasional server, sometimes a stack of phones from a PAYE refresh.
National refurb companies want you to package the kit, label it, book a courier and wait. That's a half-day's work for whoever ends up with the job, on top of everything else. We just turn up.
From Oswestry to Chester is a forty-five minute run up the A483 via Wrexham. We know the city, we know which Business Park buildings have visitor parking and which need a permit, and we plan visits so you're not waiting in for a half-day window. Pick a slot that suits, we're there when we say we'll be.
Travel is on us. The price you're quoted is the price you're paid.
Every drive that leaves with us is sanitised to NIST 800-88, the actual industry standard. You get a wipe certificate for every device, listing serial numbers and method, so if your auditor or DPO ever asks, the paper trail is on one page.
For the regulated firms we see most often in Chester — legal, financial services, healthcare, fund management — the certificate is the part that actually matters. More on data security.
Once we've checked the kit matches what was described, we transfer the agreed amount on the spot. Receipt by email within 24 hours. No purchase orders, no 30-day invoices, no chase.
What we pay depends on what you've got. Older office desktops with no SSD aren't worth much, modern ThinkPads or MacBooks with decent specs are worth a meaningful amount, and rack servers can be worth a surprising amount. Whatever it is, we'll be honest about the number and why.
The form is the easiest way. Bullet points are fine. A photo of the cupboard is even better. You don't need an asset register — model numbers and a rough count work, "5 or 6 old laptops, mix of Dells" works, even a one-line description works.
We'll come back inside a working day with an estimate, in writing. If it's a fit, we book a slot. If it isn't, no chase, just bin the email.
Even rough — we'll come back with a ballpark and a slot that fits.
