// data recovery for port talbot

Port Talbot's economy clusters around heavy industry, and so do its data failures. From SA12 and SA13 we see workstation drives full of CAD drawings and inspection records from the fabrication and maintenance contractors serving the steelworks, laptops that commute between site cabins and home, NAS units at firms on Baglan Energy Park, and DVR recorders holding yard-camera footage after an incident. Alongside all that run the ordinary heartbreaks — family photo drives from Sandfields and Aberavon that stopped mounting without warning.

Nobody needs to leave the works or the house: the service is entirely post-in and courier. A single drive travels by Royal Mail Special Delivery; a server, an array or a batch of drives is better collected by insured courier from your premises. Everything goes to our Bristol location — Bristol Data Recovery, Castlemead, Lower Castle Street, Bristol BS1 3AG — where the free diagnostic completes within 2 working days of arrival, followed by one fixed quote in writing.

Logical recoveries are no fix, no fee. Drives with mechanical, electrical, water or fire damage carry 50% of the quote upfront for the clean-room work; CCTV and DVR jobs are classed as forensic and payable upfront, with footage exported in playable formats for insurers or investigators. Phones, tablets and storage soldered to a motherboard sit outside what we recover.

Post or courier your device from Port Talbot — 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

Yes — deleted, overwritten and failed recorder drives are regular work, with recovered footage exported in a playable format and handled properly where insurers or the police are involved. CCTV and DVR recovery is forensic-class work, so the fixed quote is payable upfront.
In most cases, yes. Whether the fault is electronic, firmware or mechanical, the drawings are usually intact on the platters. Power the machine down, remove the drive, and send it in — you'll have the diagnosis and a fixed price within 2 working days of it arriving.
