I deal with a local (Portsmouth) based company called Dataquest [1].
Since I'm local I've dropped the drives off to them (thankfully I've not
needed to use them much). They do a free evaluation and have a pretty
clear and reasonable pricing policy. Just tell John (or whoever you talk
to I guess!) I sent you [2] [3]. Unlike some of the smaller outfits I've
seen advertising they use full cleanroom facilities if needed - one I
was got the dust out of the air by running the shower hot for a while
before opening the drive, it may work but it's pretty high risk and
there's no turning back!!!
