Data Recovery Neath

Whether the drive failed in a shop on Green Street, an office in Briton Ferry or a house up the Vale, Neath data recovery starts with a tracked parcel — not a car journey.

Free diagnostic for every Neath customer. Fixed quote before any work — no fix, no fee.

// data recovery for neath

Neath sends us a broad mix: business machines from the units around Milland Road, family PCs and external drives from Skewen and Cimla, camera cards from walkers who've been up Craig Gwladus or round the abbey ruins, and the occasional NAS from a firm along the A465. The common thread is that the data matters far more than the hardware — and that the town is a long way from any specialist bench, which is exactly why the service works by post.

Getting a device to us takes one errand. Package it well — bubble wrap and a small box are ample, no cables or power supplies needed — and send it tracked from any post office counter to our Bristol location: Bristol Data Recovery, Castlemead, Lower Castle Street, Bristol BS1 3AG. Courier collection from a Neath address is easy to arrange instead, and businesses with a down server should call first so the job is flagged for priority the moment it lands.

The free diagnostic completes within 2 working days of your device arriving. You'll get a plain-English call: the fault, what's realistically recoverable, and one fixed quote in writing. Approve it and work starts; decline and the device comes straight back — you've spent postage and nothing more. Recovered data is returned on a fresh encrypted drive by tracked post.

Pricing rules are the same for every Neath job. Logical faults — deletion, corruption, a drive the computer sees but can't read — are no fix, no fee. Physically, electrically or water-damaged drives need clean-room work, so 50% of the quote is payable upfront. CCTV, ransomware, BitLocker and other forensic-class work is payable upfront in full. And we don't recover phones, tablets or storage soldered to a motherboard — worth a quick call on 0800 689 0668 if you're not sure which yours is.

Post or courier your device from Neath — it's simple

Most customers post or courier their media to us.

Sending a drive from a computer, laptop, MacBook, iMac, CCTV / DVR or server? Please remove the internal hard drive or SSD and send us just the drive — we don't provide an internal drive-removal service. We don't recover storage soldered to a motherboard (e.g. Apple Silicon Macs and some thin laptops) — only drives that can be removed and sent to us.

  • Wrap the device in bubble wrap or a padded envelope — no need to include cables or power supplies.
  • Print and enclose the booking-in & shipping form (PDF) with your name, phone number and a brief description of what happened.
  • Send by Royal Mail Special Delivery or any tracked courier for full insurance in transit.
  • Prefer to hand it over in person? You can drop it in at reception at the address shown, Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:30pm.

Common questions

No — and none in Swansea either. The whole service runs by tracked post and courier, which keeps pricing honest and moves your device straight to an engineer. If you're ever near Bristol you can hand a device in at our location's reception, Monday to Friday 9am–5:30pm.
Power it down and leave the array alone: rebuild attempts onto tired disks are the classic way one failed drive becomes a lost volume. Label each drive with its bay number, call 0800 689 0668, and we'll arrange courier collection and prioritise the diagnostic on arrival.
2 working days from your device reaching the lab — posted from Neath today, it typically arrives the next working day, so you'll usually have answers and a fixed quote inside the week. It's a careful bench assessment, not an instant estimate.
All of it — SA10 and SA11 from Jersey Marine up through Aberdulais, Resolven and Glynneath use the same post-in service. Distance changes nothing: same free diagnostic, same fixed quotes, same no fix, no fee on logical work.

Neath, your data is closer than you think.
