Bridgend is roughly half way between Cardiff and Swansea along the M4 motorway, with industrial estates at each of the motorway's many junctions. Therefore, the business community in Bridgend rely heavily on their data, and when a server, NAS device or hard drive fails, they post the problem to us, and that's where we come in.
A free diagnostic for all customers based in the Bridgend area. A fixed quote before any work and, furthermore, in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
The commercial aspect is what stands out most in the case of Bridgend data recovery. The estates at Waterton and Brackla, Bridgend Industrial Estate and the plants around Pencoed keep a large number of servers, NAS boxes and workstations in service, and as such we receive a steady trickle of failures from those areas. Failed RAID systems which have lost their second drive, till and back-office machines that will not start, engineering workstations that have a dead SSD: the drives from all of it reach us from CF31 to CF35. So do a number of domestic devices. From the sea front houses in Porthcawl to the newly built housing estates of Brackla, we see a flow of home user drives, most often an external drive of family photographs that vanished from the desktop.
The M4 makes it easy for logistics. Once you receive your quotation, tracked post will reach our Bristol location (Bristol Data Recovery, Castlemead, Lower Castle Street, Bristol BS1 3AG) by the next working day, alternatively you may also drop a device off there, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, with no appointment needed; individual drives from a server or multi-bay drive unit, clearly labelled by their respective bays, can be equally easily packaged together and sent fully insured. We prioritise business critical failures on arrival; please inform us if this is the case when calling 0800 689 0668.
Every job is offered a completely free diagnostic that will be completed within 2 working days of arrival, followed with a single fixed written quotation prior to commencing any work. For logical recovery based jobs, in most cases you only pay if we recover your data; however, mechanically or electrically damaged drives will require 50% upfront for bench work; additionally, for ransomware, CCTV and forensic-class jobs, payment for services rendered will need to be made up front. Once your data has been recovered, it will be returned on an encrypted drive by tracked post.
First get a quote over the telephone or use our free on-line diagnostic. The majority of customers then have their media sent to us via post, this is tracked and insured.
Do you want to send a drive from your computer, laptop, MacBook, iMac, CCTV / DVR or server? Please do not send the complete unit of computer or device with a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) inside. Please remove it and only send the drive itself. For a server, please remove all disks and label them by their bay. We will also not perform removal of internal drives from devices in order to access data. Also, we will not extract data from devices where storage is soldered onto the motherboard (such as T2 and Apple Silicon Macs and some thin laptops). Additionally, we do not recover data from phones and tablets, only drives that can be removed and sent to us. If you're not sure which kind you have, ring us first.
