From Sandown Park to Claremont, Esher's households and small businesses send us failed drives and dead laptops — posted in free and diagnosed free before you pay a penny.
Free diagnostic for every Esher customer. Fixed quote before any work — no fix, no fee.
Esher gathers around its High Street between Sandown Park racecourse and the National Trust's Claremont gardens, a KT10 commuter town of family homes and the small consultancies and professional practices that run from them. The drives that reach us reflect that: laptops that won't boot with a self-employed client's whole business inside, home NAS units and backup drives that failed unnoticed, and external drives of photographs that stopped mounting the week someone finally meant to back them up.
We're the Staines-based, post-in side of the service, so there's no shop to find and no queue to join. We arrange tracked, insured postage or a free courier collection from your Esher or Claygate address, and the device travels the short distance to our send-in lab in Guildford. The free diagnostic starts on arrival, and we phone you with exactly what's wrong and what can be saved.
Cost is clear from the outset. The diagnostic is free, and you get one fixed written quote — never an hourly rate that creeps. On logical recoveries it's no fix, no fee: if we can't get your data back, you pay nothing. Physical, mechanical, electrical and water-damage jobs require clean-room work and carry a 50% deposit up front, but that too is quoted and agreed before anything begins. We don't recover phones, tablets or soldered-in storage.
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.
