Our focus is quick diagnosis and practical next steps. Around Exhibition Road and South Kensington station, we often handle cases involving external drives no longer being recognised. The local property profile (Period conversions and Mansion flats) means Reliable multi-device home-office operation appears more often than expected. We keep advice straightforward, then match the repair path to urgency and budget. Remote troubleshooting often resolves software issues quickly. Our Putney workshop is close enough that 12-22 minutes is typical for South Kensington bookings. South Kensington is outside the congestion zone, which helps keep booking windows flexible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Data Recovery in South Kensington

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.
