Local Knowledge Matters in Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath's expanding commuter population are professionals running businesses from home offices, all storing critical files on machines they assume will just work forever. When a drive fails, the panic is real: months of work, family photos, tax records—all inaccessible. I recover those files for Haywards Heath homeowners and business owners who need someone reliable and local to handle the crisis without the stress of long-distance shipping and tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
My laptop overheated and won't start. Is the data lost, or can you recover it?
Overheating can damage a drive, but the data is often still there. I can extract the drive and recover what's on it, then help you restore to a new machine. Bring the laptop in and I'll assess the damage first.
How can I prevent data loss in future?
The 3-2-1 backup rule: 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media, with 1 offsite (e.g. cloud). I can set this up automatically so it runs in the background.
Can you recover data from a phone or tablet?
Yes. Phones and tablets follow similar principles. Water damage, broken screens, and failed iPhones/Androids are all recoverable in most cases. Backup habits for mobiles are just as important as for PCs.
How much does data recovery cost?
Every recovery is different: sometimes it's a quick software fix, other times it's a more intensive hardware-level job. Rather than quoting a figure without knowing what's happened, I'd rather you message me briefly describing the problem (what device, what happened, what you need recovered) and I'll come back with a clear estimate before any work starts. No surprise bills, no jargon.
What types of failure can you recover from?
Deleted files, formatted drives, corrupted partitions, failed SSDs, and some physically damaged hard drives. Severe physical damage (fire, flood) may need specialist lab recovery.
Investment
Costs vary with the size of the job and the state of your current setup. Tell me what's going on and I'll quote you straight, for free.
