Data Recovery in Tiverton, Devon

It depends on the type of failure and how the device has been used since the data was lost. In many cases — particularly accidental deletion, logical corruption, or early-stage drive failure — the chances are good. The most important thing is to stop using the device immediately to avoid overwriting the data. Bring it to us as soon as possible for a free assessment.

Data recovery starts from £79. The price depends on the complexity of the recovery — simple file undeletes at the low end, physically failed drives at the higher end. We always provide an assessment and quote before starting work. No data, no fee — if we can't retrieve your files, you don't pay for the recovery.

Simple recoveries from a phone or corrupted SD card can often be done within a few hours. Hard drive failures that require more intensive work typically take 24–72 hours. We'll give you a realistic timeframe during the free assessment.

A clicking or grinding sound from a hard drive is a sign of mechanical failure — the read heads are likely damaged or the platters are unable to spin correctly. This is serious but not always fatal. The key is to stop using it immediately (every spin causes further damage) and bring it to us for assessment. We have tools and techniques for recovering data from mechanically failed drives.

Yes — absolutely. If we attempt a recovery and cannot retrieve your data, you don't pay for the recovery service. We'll always be honest with you about the likelihood of recovery before we start, so you can make an informed decision.

Often yes. Even when a phone won't power on, the storage chip may be intact and the data recoverable. The key is to stop trying to charge or revive it, as that can cause further damage. Bring it to our Tiverton workshop for a free assessment and we'll tell you honestly what's recoverable.

Yes — we recover from external hard drives, SSDs, USB memory sticks, SD and microSD cards, and memory cards from cameras. Whether it's accidental deletion, corruption or a drive that won't mount, bring it in for a free assessment.

Completely. Your data is handled confidentially, kept secure while in our care, and never shared. Once your files are recovered and returned, anything left on our equipment is securely wiped. Discretion is part of the service.

Data recovery is carried out at our Tiverton workshop on West Exe South. Customers come to us from across Mid Devon — Cullompton, Crediton, Wellington and the surrounding villages — and we can arrange collection of devices or drives by call-out if you can't make it in.
