If your drive fails in Farnborough you don’t have to send it to London or one of the larger national chain companies; we, here at Guildford Data Recovery, are located about 10 miles away from you, along the A325. Since 2002, our own UK laboratory has provided data recovery services for servers, NAS boxes, camera cards, SSDs and hard disks. Drop off while passing through or send via postal service. In either case, your diagnostic will be free and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
To reach our workshop from Farnborough takes around 25 minutes covering a distance of approximately 10 miles. Deliver to us personally or send via postal service.
Farnborough is a Hampshire town of some 65,000 residents situated on the Surrey border. It is well-known as having an airfield and hosting an airshow. There are numerous aerospace, defence and technology employers based in this area. The loss of data that includes CAD files, accounts, records and many years’ worth of work could be devastating to those organisations.
When a drive fails, the data is usually all still there. The problem almost always lies with the heads, the controller board or the file system rather than the data itself, which simply has to be extracted carefully by people who do this every day. We are only about 10 miles away at Guildford Business Park, so calling in is easy, though posting the drive works just as well, and we pay for the return trip.
Recovering data since 2002, with a free written diagnostic, a fixed price agreed before we start, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
Usually not. A drive that looks “dead” typically still holds all of its data; the failure is in the heads, the board or the file system, and the data simply needs to be read off cleanly, first time, by people who handle drives like yours every day.
We operate a data recovery laboratory in Guildford which is approximately 10 miles from you in Farnborough. We have been performing data recovery services for clients in Farnborough since 2002. Our close location gives you several choices. You may visit our Guildford unit when convenient for you if passing by during business hours. Or you may simply send the drive to us via postal service, fully insured. Each of our services begins with a complimentary diagnostic test. Once completed, we provide a fixed price quote and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
The postcodes we hear from most often, along with all the nearby villages and estates we cover in just the same way.
Drives from Farnborough come into our data recovery laboratory in various ways. Some are dropped off personally at our laboratory in Guildford by individuals who live in Farnborough, GU14 (or other local towns such as Cove, Southwood, Farnborough Park, Hawley & North Camp). Alternatively, individuals may send the drive to us by tracked post. In both instances, we provide exactly the same service to you: a complimentary diagnostic assessment prior to beginning the data recovery process and, in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
Aerospace and engineering country, plus the workstations and servers that run it.
Farnborough (GU14) is defined by its aerospace and technology base: the airfield and air show, the business park and the engineering companies clustering around them. The recovery jobs follow suit: SSD and NVMe workstations heavily loaded with CAD and design files, business servers and RAID arrays that lose a disk mid-project, and virtual machines that won’t mount. In addition to the technical work, there are the everyday failures from Cove and Southwood: laptops that won’t boot and external drives that have stopped spinning.
To avoid damaging the remaining disks in a RAID system after failure occurs, we create an exact read-only replica of every member disk in the failed RAID system and then use specialised software to recreate the original RAID volume without having to perform a forced rebuild operation. Farnborough is about nine miles away via the A331. Therefore, customers can either deliver their devices personally to us or send it via a trackable delivery method and we will assess their device at no charge and provide a fixed price quote; in most cases you only pay if we recover your data. Only RAID, server & forensic projects require a pre-agreed upon deposit before commencing the data recovery process.
Farnborough is close by, so plenty of people just carry their drive in to us, but if the trip doesn’t fit, posting it is equally simple.
Call or message us about the device and the fault, and we will give you a likely price straight away.
Bring the device (or, for laptops, NAS units and servers, just the drive) to our Guildford unit, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, or send it to us fully insured.
We inspect it, generally within 48 hours, and send you a fixed quote in writing before anything is done.
We carry out the recovery and check it against a file listing, and then you can either collect your data from us or receive it by post on new media.
Drop it off and you skip the postal leg altogether. Urgent jobs can usually be moved up the queue, so just let us know when you call.
This gives an overview of our work that we do for Farnborough: check any of those out for specifics.
Send us your device for a free diagnostic and give us as much information as you can about what happened. One of our engineers will review it and confirm your exact quote in writing before any work is carried out.
The first step to getting your data back is sending the device to us. Pack it safely, put your contact details inside the package and send it in. Once we have completed the free diagnostic, we will confirm the exact cost in writing before any work starts.
Sending it by post? We’d recommend a tracked, insured service. Dropping it in? No problem: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. Please package the device as described above first.

Anything that stores data is worth a free look, including databases and servers, NAS units and RAID arrays, external drives, laptops and Macs, camera cards and USB sticks, and SSDs and hard drives.

Most recoveries take three to four working days, and the free diagnostic usually takes no longer than 48 hours.
