Types of data recovery

Data recovery falls into two main categories:

Logical Recovery

For deleted files, formatted drives, corrupted file systems, and software issues. Usually successful and cost-effective.

Physical Recovery

For mechanically failed drives - clicking, not spinning, or damaged by drops/liquid. More complex and requires specialist tools.

Electronic Recovery

For drives with failed circuit boards or controller chips. May require component-level repairs.

Firmware Recovery

For drives with corrupted firmware causing access issues. Requires manufacturer-specific tools.

When to seek professional data recovery

DIY recovery software can make things worse. Bring your device to a professional if:

  • Your hard drive is making clicking, grinding, or beeping noises
  • The drive is not detected at all by your computer
  • You've already tried recovery software without success
  • The device suffered liquid damage or was dropped
  • You need to recover data from a physically damaged SSD
  • Business-critical files are at stake and you cannot afford to lose them
  • Your drive shows signs of firmware corruption (wrong capacity, I/O errors)

The sooner you stop using the affected device and bring it to us, the better the chances of a successful recovery.

Business data recovery in London

We work with London businesses of all sizes to recover critical data:

Server & RAID recovery

RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 array recovery from failed NAS and server configurations. We rebuild arrays and extract data from degraded or failed disks.

Urgent same-day service

Business downtime costs money. We offer priority data recovery with same-day turnaround for qualifying cases across London.

NDA and compliance

We sign NDAs for sensitive data and follow strict data handling procedures suitable for regulated industries.

Collection available

We can collect drives and servers from your London office if you can't transport them. Secure chain-of-custody throughout.

From sole traders in Putney to offices in Westminster, we help London businesses recover quickly from data loss.

Devices and media we recover data from

We recover data from virtually any storage device, regardless of brand or age:

  • Internal hard drives (2.5" and 3.5" SATA, IDE, and SCSI)
  • Solid state drives (SATA, NVMe, M.2, and PCIe SSDs)
  • External and portable hard drives (USB, Thunderbolt, FireWire)
  • USB flash drives and memory sticks
  • SD cards, microSD, CompactFlash, and camera memory cards
  • NAS devices (Synology, QNAP, Western Digital, etc.)
  • RAID arrays and server drives
  • Apple Mac internal storage (Fusion Drive, T2, Apple Silicon)

If it stores data, we can most likely recover from it. Bring it in for a free assessment.

Preventing future data loss

Once your data is recovered, protect yourself from future loss:

  • Implement the 3-2-1 backup rule: 3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite
  • Set up automatic cloud backups for important files
  • Regularly test your backups to ensure they work
  • Monitor drive health with SMART tools
  • Replace aging drives proactively (5+ years for HDDs)
  • Use surge protectors to prevent electrical damage

We can help you set up a reliable backup system to protect your data going forward.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the chances of recovering my data?
Success rates vary depending on the type of failure. Logical issues (deleted files, formatting) have very high success rates of 90%+. Physical failures depend on the extent of damage. We’ll give you an honest assessment during our free evaluation.
How long does data recovery take?
Simple logical recoveries can often be completed same-day or within 24-48 hours. Physical recoveries from damaged drives may take 3-7 days. Complex cases requiring specialist intervention take longer.
Can you recover data from an SSD?
Yes, but SSD recovery is more complex than traditional hard drives due to TRIM commands and wear levelling. Success depends on the failure type. We’ll assess your specific situation and advise accordingly.
Is my data kept confidential?
Absolutely. We treat all customer data with strict confidentiality. We can sign NDAs for sensitive business data. After recovery and handover, we securely erase all copies from our systems.
What should I do if my hard drive fails?
Stop using the device immediately - continued use can cause further damage. Don’t try DIY recovery software on a physically failing drive. Bring it to us for professional assessment as soon as possible.
Can you recover data from a drive that was dropped?
Often yes, depending on the damage. Dropped drives may have head crashes or platter damage. We assess the damage and can attempt recovery. Severe physical damage may require cleanroom work with our specialist partners.
Where is your data recovery lab in London?
We’re based at 66 Lower Richmond Road, Putney, London SW15 1LL. You can drop off your drive in person, or we offer collection across London. We’re a short walk from Putney Bridge station and East Putney tube.
Do you offer same-day data recovery in London?
Yes, for logical recoveries like deleted files or formatted drives, same-day turnaround is often possible. Physical recoveries from damaged drives typically take 3-7 days. We offer a priority service for urgent business cases.
How much does data recovery cost in London?
Logical recoveries (deleted files, formatted drives) start from £75. Physical recoveries are quoted individually based on the complexity and type of damage. We provide a free assessment and firm quote before any chargeable work begins. There’s no obligation and no upfront cost.
Can you recover data from a Mac or MacBook?
Yes, we recover data from all Apple devices including iMacs, MacBooks, Mac Minis, and Mac Pros. We handle Fusion Drives, T2-encrypted SSDs, and Apple Silicon Macs. Our Putney workshop has the specialist tools needed for Mac storage recovery.
