Data Recovery

Data Recovery

Losing important files — family photos, business records, university work, irreplaceable documents — is stressful, and it almost always happens at the worst possible time. Before you give up on a drive or device, David can assess the situation and, in many cases, recover data that seemed gone for good. Acting quickly and avoiding DIY fixes gives you the best possible chance of getting everything back.

What David Can Recover From

Data loss takes many forms, and David has experience across the full range of common scenarios. He can attempt recovery from:

• Hard drives that won't boot, mount, or are clicking and grinding
• Solid-state drives (SSDs) and NVMe drives
• USB flash drives and SD/microSD memory cards
• Phones and tablets with damaged storage
• Accidentally deleted, formatted, or overwritten files
• Drives affected by corruption, power surges, or failed updates
• Water-damaged or physically knocked devices

A Careful, Methodical Approach

Data recovery is delicate work — the wrong move can turn a recoverable drive into a permanent loss. David can take a careful, methodical approach: assessing the device first, working from a copy wherever possible to protect the original, and prioritising the files that matter most to you. You'll be kept informed at every stage about what's recoverable and what isn't.

Honest, Up-Front Assessment

Not every drive can be saved, and David won't pretend otherwise. He can give you an honest assessment of your chances before any major work begins, so you can make an informed decision. Where a case requires specialist clean-room equipment beyond what's possible locally, David can advise you on your options rather than leaving you guessing.

Protect Yourself for Next Time

Once your data is back, David can also help you set up a simple, reliable backup system — automatic cloud backups, an external drive routine, or both — so a single failure never puts your files at risk again.

If you've lost important data, stop using the device and get in touch as soon as possible. The sooner David can take a look, the better the odds of a full recovery.
