// transparent pricing

Three simple price bands.

We price on the kind of device, not the amount of data lost. Every job opens with a free diagnostic and a written quote — and most carry no fix, no fee.

USB & memory cards
£250 + VAT
USB sticks, plus SD, microSD and CompactFlash cards.
  • Corrupt, formatted or deleted
  • Card errors, or won't read
  • Files, video & photos
Single drives & hard drives
£300 + VAT
Laptop or PC drives, SSDs, and internal or external hard drives.
  • Won't power up, dropped, or clicking
  • Water-damaged, or not detected
  • Corrupt, formatted & deleted
Multi-disk & RAID
from £500 + VAT
Servers, NAS units and RAID arrays — a starting price, then tailored.
  • Rebuilt or failed arrays
  • Controller & NAS failure
  • Several disks failing

Every price is before VAT. Multi-disk RAID arrays and rebuilds can be quoted higher, always settled in writing after the free diagnostic and before any work begins.

Symptom through to recovery.

Run the diagnostic

Answer a handful of quick questions for your probable fault, urgent safety pointers, and an instant ballpark price.

// frequently asked questions

The diagnostic, answered.

Yes — wholly free, no sign-up, no card details. It all runs in your browser, so contact only happens if you choose it. The in-house diagnostic on the device itself is free too.

It reads an accurate ballpark from your device type, which fits the great majority of recoveries. The odd case — a physically damaged card needing chip-level work, or an involved RAID rebuild — can land higher. Your exact price is always confirmed in writing after the free diagnostic, ahead of any work.

For most jobs, no recovered data means no recovery fee. Your written quote sets out exactly what applies to your case, so nothing surprises you.

Package your media and either bring it to our Guildford Business Park point, Monday to Friday 9am to 5:30pm, or post it fully insured. Print the shipping slip above, add your details, and slip it into the parcel with your name, phone, email and address so we can log it in.

Power it down straight away and keep it off. That clicking or grinding almost always points to a physical head or motor fault, and each powered minute risks more harm. Use the diagnostic above for guidance suited to you, or ring 01483 901310 without delay.

Yes. Everything's handled in-house and every recovery kept confidential. Ask, and we'll happily put an NDA in place for commercial or sensitive work.
