When you might need data recovery

Data recovery is the process of getting your files back from a drive or device that has failed or been damaged. Common signs include:

  • A drive that makes unusual noises or is no longer detected
  • A computer that will not start, or freezes and crashes repeatedly
  • A device that has been dropped, damaged or exposed to water
  • Files that have disappeared or become unreadable

What to do if you have lost data

What you do next can make a difference to the outcome.

  • Stop using the device as soon as you notice a problem
  • Do not keep restarting it or running repair tools that write to the drive
  • Do not save anything new onto the affected drive
  • Contact us for advice before trying anything else

Local data recovery for homes and businesses

We recover files from failed drives and damaged devices for home users, small businesses and commercial clients. Call 01482 646606, send the form below, or bring the device to our base in Hessle.

Stop it happening again

The best protection against losing files is a backup. We supply automatic online backup that copies your files off-site, so nothing is lost if a device fails. See our IT support services. When a device reaches the end of its life, our secure data destruction makes sure nothing is left behind.

  • A superb service, son's PC suddenly stopped working, and wouldn't reboot, took it in today (between Christmas and New Year), looked at it there and then, found the fault, got it restarted and gave us recommendations for potential upgrades. Much appreciated speedy service! Thank you 😊

Frequently asked questions

Can you always recover my files?

No one can promise that. Success depends on the type of failure and how much damage there is, so we will look at the device and tell you honestly what is possible.

Can data be recovered from a laptop that will not turn on?

Often the files are still on the drive even when the rest of the computer has failed, so it is worth asking before you give up on it.

Should I try to fix a failing drive myself?

It is best not to. Repeatedly restarting a failing drive or running repair software can make recovery harder. Switch it off and contact us for advice.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in the same way. They can make a site work properly, remember your choices, or share information with other companies.

Your choices

When you first visit, you can choose “Accept all” or “Essential only”. Essential only means the Google map, Google Analytics and their cookies are not loaded. The contact form’s spam check from Cloudflare is necessary for the form to work, so it is not affected by this choice. You can change your mind at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer of this website. You can also delete cookies and stored site data in your browser settings. If you have already accepted, deleting them removes anything stored so far.

Other websites

Our site links to other websites, such as our remote support service. They have their own cookie and privacy policies, which we don’t control.

Your information

This policy covers cookies only. If you send us a message through the contact form, we use your details to reply to your enquiry. We also keep a record of the enquiry, the emails we send in response and your IP address for up to 7 days, so that we have a record of our correspondence and can protect the form from abuse. To protect the form from spam, Cloudflare Turnstile checks each submission as described above.
