// data recovery for virginia water

Virginia Water is one of Surrey's most exclusive corners — the Wentworth estate and its golf course, the private roads winding through the pines, and the lake that gives the town its name — set just west of Egham and only a short drive from Staines. The recoveries we handle here blend the domestic and the professional: external drives holding decades of family photographs that suddenly won't mount, home NAS boxes and backup drives that failed without anyone noticing, and the laptops and SSDs that run the consultancies and small businesses managed quietly from home along the GU25 lanes.

There is no shop to call in at and nothing to drive across the county for. As the Staines arm of the service we keep no walk-in premises; instead your device travels the short distance to our Guildford location — Guildford Data Recovery, GU2 8XH — either by tracked, insured post or a free courier collection from your Virginia Water door. It is a run of little more than half an hour down the A320, and your drive is usually on an engineer's bench the next working day.

Every job begins with a free diagnostic — normally finished within about two working days of arrival, rather than while you wait — followed by one fixed written quote before any recovery starts. Logical faults such as deleted files, corruption or a drive that refuses to mount are strictly no fix, no fee. Mechanical, electrical and water-damage cases need clean-room work and carry a 50% deposit up front, but you will always see and approve the full price before we begin.

We already recover for customers right across this stretch of Surrey — Weybridge, Egham and Virginia Water itself — so the courier route is well worn and entirely discreet. Recovered files come back on a fresh encrypted drive, our working copies are securely wiped once you confirm you have everything, and nothing about your data leaves the lab. We can't help with phones, tablets or storage soldered onto a motherboard, so it's worth a quick call first if that is what has failed.

// getting your device to us

Post or courier your device from Virginia Water — 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 — we book a free, insured courier collection at a time that suits you, with no branding and no fuss at the door. Your device goes straight to our Guildford location and you're kept updated at every stage, so most Virginia Water customers never need to leave home.
Your device reaches our Guildford location the next working day after collection or posting, and the free diagnostic is usually complete within about two working days of arrival — it isn't a same-day, while-you-wait service. Most standard recoveries then finish within a week of your approval, and genuinely urgent jobs can be fast-tracked if you tell us when you call.
No — we run a post-in and free-courier service rather than a walk-in shop, which keeps prices down and sends your device straight to the engineers. Everything is handled by tracked post or a free collection to our Guildford location at GU2 8XH; call 0800 689 0668 and we'll arrange it.
