// getting your device to us

Post or courier your device — 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.

// what customers say

Recovered for real people

★★★★★

"External drive with years of family photos suddenly wouldn't mount. Posted it on the Monday, had the diagnosis by Wednesday and everything back the next week. Honestly worth every penny."

Rachel T · Weybridge
★★★★★

"Our office NAS dropped two disks and the IT firm wrote it off. These guys rebuilt the array and recovered the lot — invoices, CAD files, all of it. Genuinely saved the business."

Mark H · Feltham
★★★★★

"Snapped USB stick with my dissertation on it, two weeks before the deadline. They repaired the connector and emailed to say it was all there. Fast, honest and clearly explained."

Amy W · Egham
// frequently asked questions

Common questions

Every job starts with a free diagnostic — we assess the device, tell you exactly what's recoverable, and give you one fixed quote in writing before any work begins. Logical recoveries (deleted, formatted or corrupt data) are no fix, no fee. Drives with electronic, mechanical, physical, water or fire damage need invasive work, so 50% of the quote is payable upfront for the parts and lab time.
We run a post-in and courier service for Staines rather than a walk-in shop, which keeps our prices down and your device safe. You can post it, book a courier collection online, or drop it at our receiving lab in person, Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:30pm.
Wherever you are in Staines, Ashford, Egham, Sunbury, Shepperton, Feltham, Weybridge or across Spelthorne and Surrey, you don't need to hunt down a local shop — a free tracked post-in or courier collection brings your device to our Guildford location, about 30–40 minutes away, and the free diagnostic starts within 2 working days. For most failures that's faster and safer than driving a failing drive around looking for data recovery near you.
Wrap the device in bubble wrap, include a note with your name and phone number, and send it by Royal Mail Special Delivery or tracked courier to our receiving lab: Guildford Data Recovery, Building 2, Ground Floor, Guildford Business Park, Guildford, GU2 8XH — marked for the attention of Guildford Data Recovery. We call you the moment it arrives.
The free diagnostic completes within 48 hours of your device arriving. Most standard recoveries finish inside a week of your go-ahead; complex RAID or physically damaged jobs can take longer, and urgent business cases can be prioritised.
Frequently, yes. Second-opinion recoveries are a regular part of our work — tell us what's already been attempted and we'll plan the safest approach for what remains. The diagnostic is still free.
Completely. Devices are logged into a secure lab, your data is handled under GDPR by our engineers only, recovered files are returned on an encrypted drive, and our working copies are securely wiped once you confirm everything is safely back.
