Drupal Upgrade in Winchester
Major version upgrades for Winchester Drupal sites, where the work can be measured before it is committed to. Deprecated code is marked in advance and scanning tools report exactly what in your custom and contributed code will stop working — so an upgrade estimate can rest on a report rather than on an assessment of how it feels.
Why this comes up
The problem
A major version upgrade is being estimated by guesswork, and nobody has run the tooling that would list what actually breaks.
What you get
What we deliver
- Deprecation scanning run across custom and contributed code before planning
- Findings triaged into automated fixes, manual work and modules needing replacement
- Contributed modules checked for compatible releases with the target version
- Custom code updated ahead of the upgrade where deprecations allow it
- The upgrade rehearsed on a copy before any date is committed
- A path to the next version considered, so this does not become a cycle

Drupal Upgrade in Winchester — common questions
- Can the work really be measured beforehand?
- To a useful degree, yes. Scanning tools report deprecated code by file and line across your custom modules and themes, which converts an upgrade from an unknown into a list — and a substantial portion of that list can be fixed automatically.
- What cannot be automated?
- Anything where the replacement requires a decision rather than a substitution. Removed APIs with no direct equivalent, contributed modules with no compatible release and custom code doing something the platform now handles differently all need judgement.
- Should custom code be updated first?
- Where possible, yes. Much deprecated code can be updated while still running on the current version, which means the upgrade itself becomes a smaller step with fewer things changing simultaneously — and each change can be verified in isolation.
- How do we avoid doing this again in two years?
- By staying current between major versions. The platform now provides a genuine upgrade path when you are on a recent release, so the expensive upgrades are the ones performed from several versions behind rather than the ones performed on schedule.
- Do you work with businesses across Hampshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Winchester and the surrounding Hampshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Winchester businesses do you usually work with?
- Client portals and document systems for legal and financial practices, with confidentiality driving the design. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Retail and Healthcare.
- Do you cover the areas around Winchester?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Southampton, Salisbury, Portsmouth. Winchester is an urban area of roughly 50,000+, and we take on work across the wider Hampshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
