Data Recovery FAQ

Common questions regarding the retrieval of lost photos and digital media.

Can you recover photos from a dead hard drive?

Yes. Whether the drive is "clicking," won't spin, or isn't recognised by your computer, we use specialised hardware and software to bypass damaged sectors and extract your precious photos and videos.

I accidentally deleted my wedding photos—can they be saved?

In most cases, yes. When a file is deleted, the data still exists on the drive until it is overwritten. Crucial: Stop using the drive immediately and bring it to us to ensure the best possible recovery rate.

Which digital media types do you support?

We recover data from Internal/External Hard Drives (HDD & SSD), USB Thumb Drives, SD & MicroSD cards, CompactFlash, and legacy media like CDs and DVDs.

Is my private data secure during the recovery?

Absolutely. We prioritise data privacy. Your files are recovered in a secure environment and are never shared or stored longer than necessary to complete the transfer to your new device.

How much does data recovery cost?

Cost depends on the type of failure (software corruption vs. physical damage). We offer an initial assessment to determine the scope of work and provide a clear, upfront quote before we begin.
