From failed device to recovered files

Tell us what happened
Use the form or call. We'll tell you what to avoid doing before the device reaches us.

Drop off in London or send it by courier. We find the fault and check what can be recovered.
Your decision
A fixed price and timescale before any recovery work starts. You decide whether to go ahead.
Files returned
You check the recovered file list, then your data comes back on a new drive.

Drives & SSDs
An independent recovery lab
Data Retrieval Ltd recovers data for individuals, businesses and public-sector organisations across London and the UK. Every case is handled by our own engineers in our London laboratory – from logical recoveries after accidental deletion to cleanroom head replacements, SSD controller repairs, Mac logic-board work and multi-disk RAID reconstruction.
Bring your device to one of our London locations or arrange a courier collection from anywhere in the UK. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and handle every case confidentially.
Until your device reaches us
- Power it down and leave it off.
- Skip CHKDSK, First Aid and free recovery tools on a noisy or slow drive.
- Never rebuild or initialise a failed RAID or NAS.
- Keep wet devices unpowered – rice doesn't help.
