Data recovery

Drive failed, or files gone? We'll find out what can be recovered.

  • Computer or external drive won't
  • Drive is clicking
  • Files or photos were deleted
  • USB stick or memory card

We recover photos and files from hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks and memory cards that have failed, been formatted or had files deleted. We assess the drive first and tell you plainly what's possible. Simpler jobs are done in-house; drives that need specialist lab work go to our recovery partner, always with the cost confirmed before any work starts.

How we fix it

How we recover your files

  1. Stop using the drive

    Using a failing drive can make recovery harder. We'll tell you what to do while you wait.

  2. Assess the drive

    We work out whether the problem is a deleted file, a damaged file system or a physical fault, and tell you plainly what's likely to be recoverable.

  3. Confirm the cost before we start

    Recovery is assessed case by case. You know the cost before any recovery work begins.

  4. Recover in-house, or through our partner

    Logical faults are usually recovered in-house. Physically failed drives go to our specialist recovery partner.

  5. Return your files

    Recovered files copied to a new drive, checked with you, and organised so you can find them.

Phones. We recover from computer drives, SSDs, USB sticks and memory cards only.
