Data Recovery Services in Cambridge
Data Recovery Cambridge
Lost files, a drive that won’t start or a phone that won’t turn on? We recover data from hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks, memory cards, PCs, laptops, Macs, RAID servers and mobile phones – including lost or corrupted photos and videos and data hit by ransomware. We start with a free quote and technical analysis, then explain your options clearly before any work is done.
What we recover
How data recovery works
We work with Secure Data Recovery
Some failures – such as severely damaged drives or complex RAID systems – are beyond what we can do in our own lab. In those cases we work with Secure Data Recovery (securedatarecovery.co.uk), a specialist UK data recovery provider. We can source the work out for you, or you can open a case with them directly using our partner link.
This is our partner referral link. Prices and terms for work done by Secure Data Recovery are set by them.
Data recovery in Cambridge and Dagenham
Drop your laptop, PC, drive, USB stick or memory card in at any of our locations: Fulbourn, Cherry Hinton, Mill Road, Perne Road and Northfield in Cambridge, and two points in Dagenham. Message us first on WhatsApp and we will tell you how to handle the device and what to bring. See all addresses and opening hours.
Lost data right now? Do this first
- Stop using the device. Every minute it runs can overwrite the files you want back.
- Do not save anything new on it and do not install recovery software on the same drive you are trying to recover.
- Do not run repair tools (such as chkdsk or Disk Utility repair) on a drive that is clicking, very slow or not detected.
- Do not open the drive or put it in the freezer. Both can make the damage worse.
- After a spill: switch off, unplug and do not try to power it on again.
- Tell us what happened: when it stopped working, what is on it and what matters most to you.
Data recovery questions
How much does data recovery cost?
It depends on the problem and on the device, so we do not quote a price without looking at it. You get a free quote and analysis, and we explain your options before any work is done.
How long does data recovery take?
We aim to complete recoveries within about 2 weeks. After the first analysis we can give you a more exact time for your case.
My laptop will not turn on. Can I still get my photos and files back?
In many cases the drive inside is fine and the files can be copied to another drive. If the drive itself is damaged, we explain the options first, including our specialist partner for severe cases.
Can you recover files I deleted?
Sometimes. The sooner you stop using the device, the better the chance, because new files can overwrite the deleted ones. Do not install anything on that drive.
Can you recover data from a phone, USB stick or memory card?
We work with phones, USB sticks, memory cards, hard drives, SSDs and computers. Tell us the make and model and what happened, and we will tell you what is possible.
What if you cannot recover my data?
For work we do in our own lab, if we cannot recover your valuable data you only pay for carriage. The postage when you send media is paid by the customer and is not refundable.
Laptop will not start? See our computer and laptop repairs and motherboard repair. Want to be safe next time? Look at our backup services and SSD and RAM upgrades.
Backup services
We provide the best backup services that can conveniently back up your files and folders online and allow you to go back to them whenever you wish. You can access these cloud backup services from your mobiles or PCs if you need to recover data at any time.
Having regular backups is necessary for home use and also essential for businesses set up online. Even the loss of a minor amount of data for a fraction of time can prove to be fatal to your company.
Many small businesses use the feature that they call “off-site” backups to lower the harm from physical damage of data. We provide such backup services to our customers at an affordable price. Moreover, we also provide encrypted keys that are custom to each user. However, if you lose that key, we will not be able to help you retrieve your data
